SWEET CORN 
Culture —Almost any soil will grow corn provided it is well manured and deeply worked. • 
Plant from May to July. By sowing successive lots of properly selected varieties a continued 
supply can be had until frosts kill the plants. Early varieties should be planted in hills three feet, 
apart each way, with 5 to 6 kernels to a hill. Later varieties in hills 4 feet apart. Thin later to 
four plants to the hill. Hoe well to keep weeds down, drawing soil around stems. If planted in 
rows drop seed 12 inches apart in 4-foot rows. One pound will plant 150 hills. 14 lbs. to an acre.
