SWEET CORN 
Early Yellow Sensation 
Culture Corn can be grown on almost any soil provided 
it is reasonably fertile and deeply worked. Sweet corn 
should not be planted until the danger of heavy frost is 
past, and the main crop or late sorts should not be planted 
until the ground is quite warm, sweet corn being more 
sensitive to cold than field corn. If planted in hills, for 
early varieties the hills should be three feet apart each 
way, for later varieties 2j4 to 4 feet apart each way, drop¬ 
ping four to six kernels in each hill. When six inches high, 
thin to three or four plants in a hill. Hoe frequently and 
give frequent but shallow cultivation until the tassels ap¬ 
pear. One half pound for 100 feet; 15 lbs., per acre. If 
planted in rows, have the rows three to four feet apart, 
dropping the seed a foot to a foot and a half apart. 
A bushel of sweet corn weighs 50 pounds. Field corn is 
listed elsewhere.
