HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN. Prepare the soil 
thoroughly; enrich it by working in manure. Corn needs it, 
Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep or Cattle Manure is fine 
for Corn (we have it). For horse cultivation, make rows 
3 feet apart, for the home-garden 2 feet apart, and plant 
the hills from 1 to 2 feet apart in the rows. The early va- 
rieties, producing smaller stalks, can be planted closer than 
the big late Corns. If planted very early, before the soil is 
warm, of course you take some risk of the seed rotting. 
If it does, don’t blame the seed; remember that you took 
a risk against nature. Most gardeners take such a risk in 
order to get very early crops. Cover seed lightly when 
planted early—about 14 inch and 1 to 114 inches when soil 
is warm, and deeper in summer when soil is dry. Remem- 
ber that seed needs moisture and warmth to germinate it. 
Do not plant just one row of Corn, so many feet long, of a 
variety in your garden; plant four rows of it, each 14 as 
long, so they are more sure to properly pollinate. This 
helps to insure a full set of kernels on the ear. Plant every 
two weeks from May 1 (if warm enough) up to July 15. 
One pound will plant 150 hills; 12 pounds to an acre. Plant 
more Sweet Corn this year, the need will be enormous.
