SWEET or SUGAR CORN 
CULTURE.—Sugar Corn can be raised on any good, ordi¬ 
nary soil if it is deeply and well worked before planting. 
Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until 
the tassels appear. Plant in rows about 3 or 4 feet apart 
and about 3 feet apart in the row. Leave not more than 3 
plants to the hill. It can be planted from first of May to last 
of July for a succession of crop. Sow about 8 quarts to an 
acre.
