HOW TO PLANT 
CUCUMBERS 
Cucumbers will grow most anywhere, 
but they like reasonably rich soil. 
Plant plenty as you may lose some 
seedlings. Do not crowd them. Make 
hills at least 4 to 6 ft. apart, planting 
about a dozen seeds to the hill. An 
ounce of seed is enough for 100 hills. 
Scatter seed so hill will be at least 
8 in. in diameter. Plant at corn-plant- 
ing time when soil is warm. Late 
plantings may be made in June and 
early July. For good pickles we sug- 
gest National Pickle; but for slicing, 
the new Early Surecrop Hybrid is by 
far the best.

The Best Way to Cook Sweet Corn 
Select only sound, well matured ears, but not tough ones. The 
sooner you thes corn after picking, the better because sugar con- — 
tent and flavor start to change as soon as the ear is picked. Drop — 
ears into a kettle of boiling water to which a little salt has been 
added. Cook 3 minutes, no longer.
