r'liiTiiPC Sweet corn should not be planted 
ouliuke. un tii } n tk e S p r i n g when all dan¬ 
ger of frost is past. The soil preferred is one 
rich and moist. Plant in hills 18 inches apart 
with rows 3 feet apart. Three or four seeds 
may be planted in each hill but not more 
than two allowed to stand. As “suckers” or 
excess shoots appear they should be removed 
as they take strength from the mother 
plant. Whenever the soil presents an ap¬ 
pearance of drying, irrigate. 
For corn ear worm, dust with Dry Arsenate 
of Lead as soon as the silk begins to show 
on the corn, dusting the silk thoroughly. 
When sent otherwise, deduct 10 cents per 
pound or fraction thereof. If quantities are 
desired do not fail to write for special prices.

and is rapidly becoming a favorite. 
The plant is sturdy and vigorous with us¬ 
ually two fine symmetrical 12-rowed ears 
with a heavy husk. It is fully a week earlier 
than Oregon Evergreen with the tender,
