All Squash Leaves Being Destroyed

Had 2 rows in 2 different gardens about 20 feet apart. 1st row attacked was 9 -10 weeks old producing alot. Started showing signs of leaves being skeletalized. Used sevin dust liquid spray. Did not stop. After 4 days pulled up 3 affected plants & burned. 2 days after the other 4 started & I pulled them also. Fearing spread to other garden of 7 plants, sprayed them with neem oil.
