SWEET CORN 
Do not make the first sowing until the soil is warm and com- 
paratively dry—the middle of May is usually the earliest it is 
safe to sow Corn in this section. Plant every 2 weeks until early 
July. It can be grown in hills or in rows. Hills are placed 2 to 
3 feet apart each way, dropping about six seeds in each hill and, 
when the plants are about 8 inches high, pulling out all but the 
three or four strongest. Rows are spaced 24% to 31 feet apart 
and the plants thinned to stand 12 to 15 inches apart in the rows. 
In planting, cover the seed about 2 inches deep, or a little deeper 
if the weather is very dry. Growing Corn requires lots of water. 
In order that the ears may develop perfectly they must receive 
plenty of pollen from near-by stalks; consequently, it is always 
best to plant Sweet Corn in several short rows, side by side, rather 
than in one or two long rows. If you want to enjoy Sweet Corn 
far sweeter and richer than any you have ever been able to buy, 
grow it yourself and pick it just before it is to be cooked. 
One quart of seed will plant 200 to 300 hills or 300 feet of row; 
6 to 8 quarts will plant an acre
