r'liiTiiRP Sweet corn should not be planted until 
spring when all danger of frost is 
past. The soil preferred is one rich and moist. 
Plant in hills 18 inches apart with rows 3 feet 
apart. Three or four seeds may be planted in each 
hill but not more than two allowed to stand. As 
“suckers” or excess shoots appear they should be 
removed as they take strength from the mothei- 
plant. Whenever the soil presents an appearance 
of drying, irrigate. 
For corn ear worm, dust with Dry Arsenate of 
Lead as soon as the silk begins to show on the 
corn, dusting the silk thoroughly. 
When sent otherwise, deduct 10 cents per pound 
or fraction thereof. If quantities are desired do 
not fail to write for special prices.
