nated varieties are truly outstanding and justify 
the present wide-spread use and popularity otf 
hybrid sweet corn. 
Sweet corn is a warm season crop and requires 
adequate moisture during the growing season. 
Extreme hot weather at pollinating time will 
cause the ears to be poorly filled. 
Shallow cultivation should be practiced since 
many of the roots of this plant are near the ground 
surface. Spraying or dusting for earworm control 
will insure more edible corn. Seed treatment is 
Sweet Corn, Continued 
added insurance for successful stands. Adequate 
fertilizer should be applied at planting time to 
carry the plants through the season (take care to 
see that the seed does not come into actual con- 
tact with the fertilizer). A side dressing at polli- 
nating time is usually beneficial as well. 
Plant the seed in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, either 4 or 
15 
5 kernels in hills 3 feet apart or single kernels 
drilled one foot apart. Plant seed to a depth of one 
inch. The corn will be ready to eat 18 to 20 days 
after silks appear, or later in cool seasons.
