THE SEVEN BEST VARIETIES OF SWEET COHN FOR MONTANA AND THE NORTHWEST 
One pound for 100 hills or 150 to 200 feet of drill; 15 pounds to acre; 1 pound is a little more than a 
pint; 2 pounds a little more than a quart. 
Sweet Corn is very sensitive to frost and should not he planted until danger from freezing is past 
or about the middle of May in Montana. A rich, warm, good ordinary soil will raise excellent Sweet 
Corn, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. If planted in rows, make the rows three 
feet apart and 12 to 16 inches apart in the row; cover one inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. 
If planted in bills, make the hills three feet apart each way, and nlant four to six kernels to the hill. 
Hoe frequently and when six inches high cut off all fb e suckers s"o as to leave three or four plants to 
the bill: do not let the plants overcrowd. Give frequent and thorough but shallow' cultivation until 
the tassels appear. In cooking Corn use boiling water; do not cover the vessel and do not cook more 
than ten minutes. “Use no salt”—a pinch of sugar will add to the natural sweetness.
