1 gt. for 200 hills ; 8 to 10 qts. in hills for an acre. 
All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either sown in rows four and a half feet apart, and the seeds placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in 
hills at distances of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown or the richness of the soilin which itis planted. The taller the variety, or the richer the 
soil, the greater should be the distance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle of May. and continue successive plantings every two or three 
weeks until the last week in July. In more southerly latitudes planting is begun a month earlier and continued a month later.
