For this reason it is better to plant 2 or'8 more kernels in a hill than are wanted to grow. In some seasons it is diflicult to dry sufficiently ' for seed before cold weather approaches, and if frosted before thoroughly dry is liable to kill the germ; to be .-^afe I would recommend always seeding one-third more than is required to grow. i);irticularly w ith late varieties. Sweet corn seems more sensitive to cold weather than yellow varieties. Good seed, planted in cold, wet weather, will often fail, when if planted later, in warm dry soil, all will germinate.
