Tho Kenerul.' sweet corn ' plant
ing Reason Is. now hero for nil but
the most northerly states, arid gar
dencrs are putting In Golden-Hun-tum
and other fifVorlto vuriotles
daily.-? 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. I
It's an odd, thing, but those bacli

keep cool without being taken In
