CORN 



Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but 

 a satisfactory crop can be grown in any garden if the soil is deeply and 

 thoroughly worked before planting. Corn is likely to rot if planted in 

 cold weather, so planting should be governed by this fact. Seeds may 

 be planted either in rows or hills. If planted in rows, they should be 

 spaced from 23^ to 4 feet apart, depending on the height of the variety; 

 seeds should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and covered 

 about 2 inches deep. If planting in hills, drop 5 or 6 seeds per hill and 

 space the hills 3 feet apart each way. When plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, 

 thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed until the ears are set. 

 No. of days indicate from time of planting to table size.
