Make Money Growing POPCORN 
Culture of popcorn is about the 
same as field corn. Plant after 
frost danger is past; first part 
of May is about right. Put about 
three or four kernels to the hill 
and space the hills about 15 in. 
apart, with width of rows 2 or 
2% ft. apart, depending on how 
you are going to tend it. If you 
plant by the acre you will need 5 
to 6 pounds per acre. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
What, When, and How fo Plant 
Hybrid sweet corn is a great improve 
ment over old open pollinated corn. Our 
hybrids have uniform maturity, extremely 
high yields, and disease resistance. Plant 
almost as soon as you can get them into 
ground in spring. % Ib. seed is enough for 
100 hills. Use 10 to 12 Ibs. per acre. Plant 
every 10 days ’til middle of July for corn 
all summer.
