How to Grow SWEET CORN 
To enjoy Sweet Corn at its best, it 
should be eaten as soon as possible after 
ears are pulled; any delay causes loss of 
sweetness and quality. At what stage to 
pull corn is a matter of choice, although 
most persons prefer the ears in milk stage 
if to be eaten from the cob. For cornsfrit- 
ters or other dishes, ears may be more 
matured. Whether you grow yellow or 
white grained corn is a matter of prefer- 
ence as is the selection of hybrids or open 
pollinated varieties.

Plant seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has become thoroughly 
warm in rows 2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in the row, cover 
with 1 in, of soil and later thin to stand 9 to 12 in. apart. Some prefer to sow 5 or 6 
seeds in groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. between the seeds and spacing the groups 2 to 
3 ft. apart in the row; allow 2 to 4 plants to remain in each group, depending on the 
fertility of your soil. For a continuous supply, sow varieties which mature in suc- 
cession; also make additional sowings when the preceding planting is up and well 
started: allow enough time for your last planting to mature before the first expected 
frost in your locality. Corn should be planted in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side 
rather than in a single long row, to insure pollination and the development of a full 
set of kernels. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, each about 25 ft. in length; 1 Ib. will plant —
