and deeply worked. It should not be planted until the danger of heavy frosts 
sorts should not be planted until the ground is quite warm. Plant early varieties in hills 3 feet 
apart each way. Late varieties 34 to 4 feet apart each way, dropping 4 to 6 kernels per hill; 
later, thin to 8 or 4 plants per hill. Hoe frequently and give frequent but shallow cultivation 
until the tassels appear. }% Ib. for 85 hills, 15 lbs per acre. 56 lbs per bushel.

YELLOW HYBRID VARIETIES 
All up to date growers are now agreed that hybrid sweet corn produces 20% 
to 30% more than open-pollinated varieties. Hybrids have much more vitality 
and can be sown much earlier in the spring. The roots being longer and stronger 
they can utilize a larger amount of food from the soil and the plants will not 
lodge after a storm or heavy wind. It costs much more to produce hybrid 
seed than to produce ordinary open- ollinated seed but the difference in price 
means very little when crops are compared. Prices prepaid of all varieties of 
hybrid sweet corn: Pkt. $0.10; 4 oz. $0.18; 4 lb. $0.30; 1 lb. $0.55; 5 lbs $2 30;
