A rich, warm soil is the best, but excellent Sweet Corn can be 
raised on any good soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked be¬ 
fore planting. If planted in hills, make the hills for the early 
varieties 3 feet apart each way and plant 4 to 6 kernels to the hill. 
For the later sorts the hills should be 3V 2 to 4 feet apart each way.
