SWEET CORN 
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 three feet apart each way, for later varieties 3j4 to 4 feet apart 
each way, dropping four to six 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 three to four feet apart, dropping the seed a foot to a foot and a half apart. 
A bushel of sweet corn weighs 50 pounds. Field corn is listed elsewhere.
