CULTURE — -Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either planted one inch 

 deep in rows three or four feel apart, and the seeds placed about 

 lit inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or four feel each way, according 

 the size of the variety grown. Tlie taller the variety, or the richer the soil, llie greater should be the 

 lance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of May and plant every 

 ) or three weeks until the last week in July. In more southern ly latitudes planting is begun earlier and 

 ilinned later. The earliest varieties are ready for the table in eight or nine weeks from planting and 

 late varieties in from eleven to twelve weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.
