SWEET CORN 
Culture —Corn can be grown on almost any soil provided S : 
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 31% to 4 sa 
feet apart each way, dropping four to six kernels in each ve 
hill. When six inches high, thin to three or four plants 
ina hill. Hoe frequently and give frequent but shallow 
cultivation until the tassels appear. 
If planted in rows, have the rows three to four feet apart, 
dropping the seed 6 inches apart. 
A peck is generally enough for an acre. A peck of sweet 
corn weighs 1214 pounds. ,
