Jlotinah ty SWEET CORN 
NN ee 
Favorite Hybrids and Other Types 
Real enjoyment for the whole family! 
A few pointers might be helpful. 
Don't plant sweet corn seed before 
the soil is dried well and is good and 
warm. Plant about every two weeks 
for good eating through the season. 
Dropping a few more seeds per hill 
and thinning out when plants are 
about 8 inches high provides the 
strongest possible plants; hence the 
best crop. Don't let them stand too 
thick on the row either. Cover seed 
about two inches. To provide plenty 
of pollen, sweet corn is often planted 
in more short rows side by side, 
rather than in a long row or two. 
All varieties listed here are tasty, 
productive strains. Finest quality, 
high germinating seed. Please note 
—treat with Semesan Jr. to combat 
disease, better stands, improve crops.

OPEN-POLLINATED FIELD 
CORNS 
There is no question about strong 
Hoffman recommendation to all corn 
growers of the fine producing Funk 
G Hybrids—offered preceding pages. 
Those who will still plant the regular 
old type, open-pollinated corns—will 
please refer to price list for varieties 
available. 
Lawn Clippings 
Tom turkeys at the Pennsyl- 
vania Experiment Station 
tamins and other forms of gained an extra 1.4 pounds 
when fed lawn clippings, and 
opment. Birds raised on range hens_ gained nearly half 
pound extra. The clippings had 
greater body weight—produce as much protein in them as 
a higher grade of eggs. Range skim milk. When dried clip- 
keeps the birds from direct pings, soaked in water, 1 
fed to breeder hens, hatchabil- 
ity of fertile eggs went up 6%. 
Pasture Improvement 
Where no manure is_ used, 
average recommendation in 
Pennsylvania and other states 
is 400 to 500 pounds of super- 
phosphate. New York recom- 
mends as high as 800 pounds 
per acre. 
Might be better to use as 
much as 400 pounds of 0-14-6 
or 0-14-14. Potash brings on 
white clover quicker. 
Sprayer 
If 2,4-D was used in the 
sprayer the past summer, 
charge it off as a special im- 
plement for 2,4-D use and plan 
to get a new one for the usual 
fungicides. The reason? 2,4-D 
solution can’t be completely 
washed out of a. sprayer, and 
enough will remain to cause 
detrimental effect on desirable 
plants.
