WVATT'OiUARLES NORTHERN GROWN r One pound will plant about 200 hills; 10 pounds will plant an acre CULTURE: Sweet corn, a warm season annual, is increasing rapidly in importance in the South. Improved methods of refrigeration and handling which reduce the rate of loss of sugar, have made it possible to produce sweet corn commercially. It is a standard crop in home gardens. After harvest, sweet corn should be immediately placed in temperature conditions of 35-40 degrees F to prevent the loss of sugar and a lowering of quality. It can be grown on a great variety of soils. A well drained sandy loam with adequate humus supply and moisture is desirable. Fertilize with 500 lbs. of 8-8-8 per acre (2 qts. per 100 ft. of row) prior to planting the seed. Sweet corn responds to nitrogen sidedressing. Apply about 80 lbs. of nitrogen in split applications, 40 lbs. (IV2 cups of Nitrate of Soda, or equivalent, per 100 ft. of row) when plants are about knee high and 40 lbs. when tassels begin to show. Plant seed in hills one foot apart, or drill seed and thin. One or two plants per foot is recommended. Rows should be spaced 3 feet apart.
