What 14 Better Than New Picked CORN? 
Corn, like anything else well worth having, 
takes a little care to produce. A few rows of 
corn will supply the average home with plenty 
of fine roasting ears and enough over for can- 
ning and drying to last through the winter. Be 
sure and plant sweet corn every ten days or 
two weeks and you will have a continuous sup- 
ply of table corn in the right stage to enjoy the 
eating of it. A rich, warm soil is the best, but 
excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, 
ordinary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly 
worked before planting. One pound of seed 
will plant about 100 hills.
