CULTURE. Sweet Corn produces 
best on fertile soil and the land 
should receive a good complete fer- 
tilizer treatment before planting. Do 
not plant corn in cold ground unless 
a good seed treatment is used. 
About the middle of May, plant corn 
in hills 3 to 3% feet each way, drop- 
ping 4 to 5 seeds to a hill, later 
thinning to 3 stalks; or plant in 3 or 
3%-foot rows, dropping 3 seeds to 
the foot, later thinning to stand 1 
foot apart in the rows. Seed should 
be covered 1% inch on heavy soil to 1 
inch on light, sandy soil. One pound 
will plant 200 hills or 400 feet of 
row and 7 to 10 pounds plant an 
acre. Plant every two weeks up to 
July 15th for a continuous supply. 
EHarly July plantings are delicious 
in September. Number of days is 
from germination to roasting ear 
stage. 
HYBRID VARIETIES 
New and superior Hybrid varie- 
ties are rapidly replacing the open- 
pollinated types. The performance 
of Hybrids in comparison to open- 
pollinated varieties is outstanding. 
The vigor, uniformity in maturity, 
disease resistance, quality, resist- 
ance to lodging and productivity is 
outstanding and justifies the popu- 
larity and widespread use of Hy- 
brids.
