Corn is apt to rot if planted 
too early, when ground Is cold 
and wet. But if there Is an 
early warm spell It’s often 
worth taking a chance to have 
a little extra early, as If the 
blades come up, they often 
escape a light frost. Plant 6 
or 6 kernels to a hill, hills 3 
feet apart each way, and thin 
to 3 stalks to a hill, or In rows 
2'4 to 3 feet wide, stalks 10 to 
12 In. apart In rows according 
to varieties. Hoe soil well 
up around stalks and break off
