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 about 
15 inches apart in the rows. The early varieties, pro- 
ducing 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 rot- 
ting. 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 1% inch 
and 114 inches when soil is warm, and deeper in 
summer when soil is dry. Remember 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.
