Butter Out of Stamp List
Because of British Need
WASHINGTON. June 2. (AP)
- Secretary Wlckard said the ag
riculture department had stopped
distributing butter to needy fami
lies in order that Great Britain
might be supplied with dairy pro
duces. Withdrawal of butter from the
surplus food list available under
the stamp and direct relief dis
tribution programs was neces
sary, the secretary said, because
severe drought conditions east of
f PIUS VALUE IN J

the Mississippi river had reduced
milk production.
Butter prices have gone up con
siderably in recent weeks, reflect
ing, Wickard said, the curtailed
production of milk and demands
of the British for cheese, evapo
rated and dried milk.
New Hybrid Type
Of Sweet Corn
Increases Yield
Hybrid sweet corn is being ex
tensively planted, following the
lead of hybrid field corn, which
has increased the yield of farms.
Home gardeners may depend
upon an increased yield, if they
sow hybrid sweet corn, and some
varieties have been produced
which are among the earliest,
and at least rival in delicious
flavor the old favorite. Golden
Bantam.
There is one point about the
.hybrid strains, however, which
should be considered. Alf plann
of a given strain tend to mature
within a very brief period. This
is fine for the market grower,
but home gardeners may prefer
la longer period of harvest from
a single planting. The hybrids
have another merit, resistance
to Stewart's disease, and in re
gions where this trouble is prev
alent, they should be used.
Sweet corn is best only when
eaten immediately after harvest
ing, because the quality and flav
or deteriorate rapidly after the
cals are pulled from the plants.
The higher the temperature, the
greater the deterioration and
the loss in flavor will usually be
at least forty per cent in corn
which is obtained in the mar
ket. Advice on Planting
A patch of six rows, each 13
feet long, need not occupy more
than 15 square feet. In normal
seasons, planted to the pedigreed
strains, it should yield 120 to 180
ears.
In both white and yellow
kerneled sorts, there are early,
late and mid-season varieties.
The earliest will have cars ready
for table in seventy days, while
the larger, later varieties require
ninety to one hundred days. The
ears are ready for pulling when
the silk has turned black.
Nothing is gained by planting
corn' before both soil and weath
er have become thoroughly
warm-warm weather, rich soil,
anil moderate moisture are best
for corn. The seed is quite likely
to rot in cold soil. The seeding
plants arc very delicate, and cold
weather checks their develop
ment, so that often later plant
ings do better than early ones.
Seed may be planted cither In
rows or hills. It Is better to en
rich poor soil in hills, dropping
five or six seeds per hill, spaced
3 feet apart each way. If plant
ed In rows, they hould be spaced
2! to 4 feet apart, depending
upon the height of the variety,
dropping the seeds at the rate
of five or six to the foot, and
covering them about 2 inches
rii-eo. When the plants reach a
height of about 4 or S inches, it
Is best to thin them to 8 or 12
inches apart, end to keep them
hoed until the ears are set. it
is considered better to plant
corn in blocks of several short
rows, side by side, rather Jhan
In one long row. The pollen does
not fertilize the ears well when
planted In slgle rows.
A balanced plant food should
be applied at the rate of 4 pounds
to 100 square feet.
Sweet corn is reasonably
drought resistant so long as it is
cultivated frequently.

The gladioli need the full sun
