CORN 
(ZeaMmjs.) Mais. Mais. Mats. Maiz. 
CULTURE.—% lb. of corn will plant a row 100 feet long; 10 to 14 pounds will 
plant an acre. Plant in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, 1 inch deep, dropping 4 or 5 grains to 
a hill. When the plants are up, thin out to two plants every 18 to 24 inches, according 
to the richness of the soil. The young plants should be given frequent, but shallow 
cultivation. Hardy sweet varieties may be planted the last week in March, but sugar 
varieties are very tender, and should not be planted until the last week in April. For 
a succession, plant an early, medium early, and late variety at the same time, or any 
preferred variety every two weeks until July 1st. Corn should never be planted in a 
single row. At least three rows should be planted at a time to allow the pollen to 
better fertilize the ears, which insures a better crop.
