Michael-Leonard’s Golden Hummer 
Culture. Do not plant Corn 
in cold ground as the seed is 
liable to rot. About the mid¬ 
dle of May, plant corn in hills 
3 to 4 feet each way, dropping 
8 to 10 seeds to a hill, later 
thinning to 3 stalks; or plant in 
3' or 4'foot rows, dropping 3 
or 4 seeds to the foot, later 
thinning to stand 1 foot apart 
in the rows. Seed should be 
covered Vi inch on heavy soil 
to 1 inch on light, sandy soil. 
One pound will plant 100 hills 
or 200 feet of row and 7 to 10 
pounds plant an acre. Plant ev' 
cry 2 weeks up to July 15th 
for a continuous supply. Num¬ 
ber of days are from sowing 
seed to roasting ear stage.
