ABOUT SWEET CORN 
I don’t think I need to say much about sweet 
corn. You all know how good it is and how easy 
it is to grow. I am listing only the best varie¬ 
ties. You can depend on any of them. 
Wait until the ground is warm before plant¬ 
ing any of the later varieties. The early va¬ 
rieties may be planted a week or two sooner. 
14 lb. of seed will plant 100 hills or about 10 
to 12 lbs. to the acre. Plant at intervals of 
ten days until the middle of July for new corn 
all summer.

ABOUT HYBRIDS 
You’ve heard me talk a lot about 
my Mule-Hybrid field corn. Hybrid 
Sweet Corn is JUST as valuable, if 
not more so. 
Hybrid Sweet Corns are bred to 
resist disease which causes loss of 
crops in so many sections. They 
yield much heavier than ordinary 
sweet corns, and better than this, 
the quality is improved in tender¬ 
ness as well as size and fullness 
of ear. 
Plant Hybrid Sweet Corns. The 
increased yield and better quality 
more than pay for the seed. 
The three varieties fo the right 
are my choice of over 36 different 
varieties tested and checked in my 
trial grounds. I know they’ll please 
100 %.

Let the Kids Grow POPCORN and PEANUTS 
EXTRA MONEY FOR YOU 
SUPER GOLD 
I know of a boy who raised 500 lbs. 
of popcorn on a small town lot and 
sold it for 5c per lb., netting him 
about $25. Wouldn't you like to do 
(hat? You can. Popcorn has brought 
an unusually good price the last two 
years and I don't know of a better 
way for the boys to earn a little ex¬ 
tra money than to raise it. 
Takes about the same care as field 
corn except that you plant it a little 
closer if you want to. 
JAPANESE HULLESS

20c; 1 lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 75c, post¬

HOW TO GROW 
PEANUTS 
Yes, you can grow peanuts in 
this climate just as well as not. 
They don’t yield quite as heavy 
as they do in the south, but they 
do yield enough to give you 
plenty to feast on all winter. 
Plant just like beans, in soft 
loose soil, after it gets thoroughly 
warm in the spring. Thin to a 
foot apart in the row and keep 
well hoed.
