10 TETHER SEED CO. 
SWEET CORN 
1 lb. will plant 150 hills. 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre. 
During the past few years, vast improvements have been made by many State Exper- 
iment Stations and Seed Breeders in the methods of developing sweet corn seed. 
Through 
the crossing of various inbreds to produce hybrids, and the top crossing of inbreds on 
open-pollinated stocks, there have been developed many new and improved strains which 
are more uniform in maturity and yield much heavier than standard sorts. These strains 
are highly resistant to bacterial wilt or Stewart’s disease.
