TRANSPLANTING 



potted plants in the field at as early a date 

 as possible, in order that the development 

 of the stalk may continue, so that corn may 

 be produced early, assuring a high price. 



The question might arise. When would 

 it be practicable for the ordinary grower 

 to use the method of transplanting? For 

 a truck farmer who is a considerable distance 

 from his market, it seems to me that it 

 would never be practicable for him to 

 transplant corn on a commercial basis. For 

 a market gardener who is close to a high- 

 priced market, it seems very practicable, from 

 all results obtainable, for him to practice the 

 method of transplanting sweet corn. 



Where the price received is 25 cents or 

 more for a dozen ears of corn in fairly large 

 lots, it undoubtedly pays well. The advan- 

 tages of this system of planting are that one 

 is able to receive the highest price in the 

 market for the product, and by planting 

 the corn so early, one is able to utilize 

 the land for a larger money crop following 

 the corn crop. The disadvantages are that 

 it is a rather expensive method and requires 

 much labor. 5^
