CULTURE—Same as other Garden Corn (see next page) except that it is 
planted 2 grains every 12 inches in fertile soil and thinned to 1 stalk per hill, 
The varieties we quote have been thoroughly tested in experiment 
stations and have proven beyond doubt that they are better adapted 
in the Mid-South than any other hybrid Sugar Corns. 
Hybrid Sugar Corns have proved bigger and more uniform 
yielders and of better quality than open pollinated types. The ears 
are better filled, of more even size and shape, and two good ears are 
usually borne to the stalk. In actual tests increased yields of from 
10 to 100 per cent have been secured. This is because of better root 
growth, sturdier stalks and greater disease resistance. If you have 
been disappointed in Sugar Corn yields in the past be sure to plant.

CORN EAR WORM CONTROL 
The corn ear worm is one of the greatest problems confront- 
ing the sweet corn growers. This insect is present in virtu- 
ally every area of the country where sweet corn is. grown, 
and may be expected as an annual problem to both the large 
and small grower. The object of Ogen’s Corn Ear Worm 
Drops is to destroy the ear worm larvae that might be pres- 
ent in the interior silk mass before they reach the kernels 
and also to set up a barrier which will prevent the penetration 
of larvae that may develop between the time of the treatment 
and the harvesting of the ears. Ogen’s Corn Ear Worm Drops 
are easy to use. Simply insert the tip of the applicator about 
4, in. into the ear tip and permit several drops to enter into 
the silk. Being slowly volatile Ogen’s Corn Ear Worm con- 
trol'is effective over a long period of time—and giving satis- 
factory results. Price 2 oz. bottle with applicator 45¢ postpaid.
