Corn is the most important food crop 
of the world for both man or beast and 
to have the best results, it is necessary 
to have first class Selected Seed to plant, 
and especially of such varieties as have 
been found from experience to be best 
adapted for the South. Cheap, poorly select- 
ed seed, usually produces a crop of very 
inferior quality so it always pays to plant 
the best. We handle all the best varieties 
cf Seed Corn, and have them selected for 
us by growers who make this their 
business. ies 
CULTURE.—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 to-day 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 us by an experienced Mis- 
souri farmer: The only way to Keep corn 
free from weevils in a cribis to puta gallon: 
of coal oil at the four corners of the crib, 
taking the corks off and allowing the oil 
to evaporate. The fumes from the oil will 
keep away the weevils and will not impair 
the germination of the corn in any way. 
1 quart to 500 hills, 8 quarts to the acre. 
Matures in 50 to 110 days.
