SWEET CORN 
Culture — Almost any soil will grow corn provided it is well manured and deeply worked. Plant from May to 
July. By sowing successive lots of properly selected varieties a continued supply can he had until frosts kill 
the plants. Early varieties should be planted in hills three feet apart each way, with 5 or 6 kernels to a hill. 
Later varieties in hills 4 feet apart. Thin later to four plant to the hill. Hoe well to keep weeds down, drawing 
soil around stems. If planted in rows, drop seed 12 inches apart in 4-foot rows. One lb. will plant 150 hills. 
14 lbs. to an acre.
