many convenient treatments so as to be

the year round. “Corn-on-the-cob,” “Suc¬ 
cotash,” “Canned Corn,” “Dried Corn,” 
“Hulled Corn,” “Parched Corn,” etc. 
CULTURE. Corn can be grown on 
almost any soil provided it is reasonably 
fertile and deeply worked. Sweet corn 
should not be planted until the danger 
of heavy frost is past, and the main 
crop or late sorts should not be planted 
until the ground is quite warm. Sweet 
Corn being more sensitive to cold than 
field corn. If planted in hills, for early 
varieties the hills should be 3 feet apart 
each way, for later varieties 3% to 4 
feet apart each way, dropping 4 to 6 
kernels in each hill. When six inches 
high, thin to three or four plants in a 
hill. Hoe frequently and give frequent 
but shallow cultivation until the tassels 
appear. One-half pound for 100 feet; 
15 lbs. per acre. If planted in rows, 
have the rows 3 to 4 feet apart, drop¬ 
ping the seed 1 to l 1 /? feet apart. A 
bushel of Sweet Corn weighs 50 lbs.

Wonder with Alpha. Ears 6 to 8 
inches long, cylindrical, and uniform¬

cream in color; flavor and quality un¬ 
surpassed. Stalks sturdy and vigorous, 
more so than Alpha.

tirely new variety was 
developed by the North Dakota Agri¬ 
cultural College. The ears, which are 
about the same size as Bantam, are de¬ 
liciously sweet and grow very low on 
a short stalk. In fact, the lower ear 
sometimes is on the stalk at a point 
just below the surface of the soil. 
Golden Sunshine 
shine have combined their divinely 
guided chemistry to produce the nec¬ 
tar-like sweetness of this golden Corn. 
The ears are compact, about same size 
as Golden Bantam but more refined 
in appearance, having from 10 to 12 
rows of grains instead of eight as 
Golden Bantam. Very rapid grower.
