SWEET CORN 
(SEE ALSO PAGE 36) 
HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN. Prepare the soil thor¬ 
oughly; enrich it by working in manure. Corn needs it. Wizard 
Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure is fine for Corn (we have it). 
For horse cultivation, make rows 3 feet apart, for the home- 
garden 2 feet apart, and plant the hills from 1 to 2 feet apart in 
the rows. The early varieties, producing smaller stalks, can be 
planted closer than the big late Corns. If planted very early, 
before the soil is warm, of course you take some risk of the seed rotting. If it does, don’t blame the seed; remember that you 
took a risk against nature. Most gardeners take such a risk in order to get very early crops. Cover seed lightly when planted early— 
about Vfeinch and 1 to 1 1 / 2 inches when soil is warm, and deeper in summer when soil is dry. Remember that seed needs moisture 
and warmth to germinate it. Plant every two weeks up to July 15. One pound will plant 150 hills; 12 pounds to an acre.

HYBRIDS AND TOP-CROSSES 
The advantages of “Crossed” varieties are: More perfectly uniform, better-quality ears, and they grow success¬ 
fully where others will succumb to Stewart’s Wilt disease. 
Seed should never be saved from these Hybrids, for your crop this year would never do for planting next year.
