& ¢ C$ Hybrid varieties. Will not reproduce true the 
wee orn second year, consequently do not save seed 
from the crop. 
Plant 2 Ib. for 100 feet of row, 8 to 12 Ibs. 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 Ist in this latitude. If white and yel- 
low corns are planted adjoining, cross pollination will cause the ears to pro- 
duce 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 thoroughly 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 
6 to 12 inches apart. Cultivate well and keep free from weeds.
