SWEET CORN 
Sweet Corn should be planted after all 
danger of frost is past and the soil has be- 
come warm. Plantings should be made in 
succession every two weeks, or better still, 
use different varieties that mature different 
dates. One pound of seed will plant about 
200 feet of row. The rows should be three or 
four feet apart and the seed planted 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row, later thinning to 12 
inches. In hill plantings the hills should be 
3 to 4 feet each way, with 6 to 8 kernels 
planted to the hill, thinned later to 4 plants 
to the hill. Corn should be planted in blocks 
rather than in a single row to insure pollina- 
tion.
