Sweet Corn 



Corn is the most important food crop of the world for both man or beast and to 

 have the hest results, it is necessary to have first class Selected Seed to plant, and 

 especially of such varieties as have been found from experience to he best adapted for 

 the South. Cheap, poorly selected seed, usually produces a crop of very inferior quality 

 so it always pays to plant the best. We handle all the best varieties of Seed Corn, and 

 have them selected for us by growers who mate this their business.

CUIkTUSS. — Plant in hills about three 

 feet apart, drop four or five seeds and 

 thin out to two or three. Plant for a suc- 

 cession from February to June. Seed corn 

 that is in perfect condition today may be 

 unfit for use in three days, and we suggest 

 that you spread out all seed corn the 

 moment it is received from any seed 

 house or grower. The following informa- 

 tion was given vis by an experienced Mis- 

 souri farmer "The only way to keep corn 

 free from weevils in a crib is to put a gal- 

 lon of coal oil at the four corners of the 

 crib, taking the corks of£ and allowing the 

 oil to evaporate. The fumes from the oil 

 will keep away the weevils and will not 

 im.pair the germination of the corn in any 

 way." 1 quart to 500 hills, 8 quarts to the
