SWEET CORN 



when a few rows of the back furrow have 

 been made, the raking can commence, and 

 all coarse material can be raked down into 

 the dead furrow. This will leave the 

 garden as the finest prepared bed, being 

 level, and in fine shape. It is never advis- 

 able to rake too far in advance of the 

 planting, as it fines the soil and causes 

 the soil to pack down too hard in many 

 cases.
