( 7 C Hybrid varieties. Will not reproduce true the 
wee orn second year, consequently do not save seed 
from the crop. 
Plant % Ib. for 100 feet of row, 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. The fresher sweet 
corn is, the better the flavor. Plant for a succession, using some of the extra 
early, early and main crop varieties. A month to six weeks later plantings 
of early sorts may be made for late use. We suggest plantings of Golden Cross 
Bantam at 10 day intervals until August 1st in this latitude. If white and yel- 
low corns are planted adjoining, cross pollination will cause the ears to produce 
some off color kernels. Do not plant sweet corn near field corn. It is better to 
use three or four short rows instead of one long one. Transfer of pollen is 
better resulting in more desirable ears. Warm weather, moderate moisture and 
rich soil are desirable but most garden soil will do if worked deeply and thor- 
oughly before planting. Wait until the ground is warm and avoid the seed 
rotting. Rows may be spaced 2% to 4 feet apart. Use a wider planting for 
taller varieties. In drills, plant 5 or 6 seeds to the foot; in hills, 5 to 6 seeds 
per hill. When plants are about 5 inches tall, thin to 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Cultivate well and keep free from weeds.
