CORN 
Plant from February 15th to August 1st. How¬ 
ever, if the soil is cold and wet it is best to wait 
until the soil is warm. Plant in hills eighteen inches 
apart and the rows three feet apart, dropping five 
to seven seeds to each hill and thin out to two 
of the healthiest plants when about five inches high. 
Remove all side shoots or “suckers” from the plant 
leaving only the two top ones as these will produce 
the largest and best ears. Corn is at its best when 
picked and eaten within an hour, but it is extremely 
important that it be picked just at the right time. 
When the kernel can be easily punctured with the 
thumb nail it is a good indication that the ear is 
about at its best.
