CIIITIIRF Sweet corn should not be planted 
ouliukc. until in the spring when all danger of 
frost is past. The soil preferred is one rich and 
moist. Corn is not a lazy man’s crop, as con¬ 
tinual cultivation is necessary. 
Plant in hills 18 inches apart with rows 3 feet 
apart. Three or four seeds may be planted in each 
hill but not more than two allowed to stand. As 
“suckers” or excess shoots appear they should be 
removed as they take strength from the mother 
plant. Whenever soil presents an appearance of 
drying, irrigate. 
For corn ear worm, dust with Dry Arsenate of 
Lead as soon as the silk begins to show on the 
corn, dusting the silk thoroughly. 
Dry Arsenate is used by mixing from two to four 
ounces of arsenate of lead to one pound of flour 
or hydrated lime. 
Prices: 1 lb. pkg. 40c; 4 lb. pkg. $1.00. Express

it has sold beyond our expectations and is rapidly 
becoming a favorite. 
The plant is sturdy and vigorous with usually two 
fine symmetrical 12-rowed ears with a heavy husk. 
It is fully a week earlier than Oregon Evergreen
