Even a small corn pqtch is worth while for the real treat of fresh picked and really sweet corn. Jt Is impossible to get corn sug'ttry us it can bo when just right except by home growing nnd picking it shortly before it goes , into the kettles ' As is well known now sweet corn ennnot remain sweet-when picked and allowed to stand -for several hours. A chemical change sets In which tuniH the hukui' into sturch and this has been responsible for tho frequent accusation In the past that green grocers were palming off young ears of field corn upon their patrons. A general verdict of not guilty should be returned til thilr fnvnr j The greatest stand of f com Is i ; produced by planting it in square !or oblong patches rather than In straight rows. The principle in volved Is to secure a more tho rough distribution-of the pollen or dust from the tassels upon tho silks. Jit a square patch the shift ing winds sift the pollen from oil sides over the putch. In long straight rows much of it is lost. I The dwurf growing sweet corn Is now quite universally 1 grown In rows with the statks n font or even lew apart Instead of the timo-hon-Ored custom of. planting In hills two or three Inches upnrt. It is the must satisfactory method for tho small home garden to muke up in cultivation for the closer plant ing. Golden Hantam is now the Ideal homo garden corn because It can be plnnted fairly close in the rows with good success. The main fac tor is to secure n fine strain of Golden Hantam from a flrst-clnss seed house of established reputu tlon, ' Give, the corn plenty of "fer tilizer. H can't have too much. Shredded cow manure and pulver ized sheep manure are excellent for tho purpose, adding something to the texture of the solT. Chemical fertilizers wit? he useful' a little later in the season when the corn gets Into growth. These should be hoed Into the soil lightly.
