A sandy loam with plenty of we'll rotted manure incorporated in the soil Is well adapted to the production of muskmelons. The muskmelon is a heat-lovin- crop, requiring a long growing season. about four months. and cannot be planted until the ground has become warm. For this reason it is useless to attempt to grow musk melon in sections where the growing season is not sufficiently long or where the temperature is not uniformly high. The northern portion of the United States is not suited to the growing of this crop for the reasons cited above
 It is advisable to start the plants in berry boxes, or on sods in the hotbed transferring these to the open ground after the ground has become warm Tn this way considerable time can be saved and much better results ob- tsined. IL is good plan to place plenty of well-rotted manure in the hills. which should be about 6 feet apart. Sufficient seed should be planted so that four good strong plants may be had in each hill Another plan Is 10 SOW in drills in rows or feet apart. thinning the plants until they are from IS inches to ? feet apart in the rows.
 Cultivation should be frequent and thorough until the vines begin to run. After this the only cultivation required is 10 keep weeds down.
 Muskmelons are liable to be attack ed by several diseases and have at least one serious insect enemy. For information on the control of insects and diseases affecting the muskmelon. refer to Farmers Bulletin S56, entitled Control of Diseases and Insect Ene- mics of the Home Vegetable Garden. '' U. $.
