Three to four stalks in a hill is plenty? Three is better than tour for full development Another system is to plant the corn In rows with single stalks about a foot apart. Corn loses its sugar within four hours after it is picked. It can't be kept over night and retain Its sweetness. A chemical change takes place, which changes in thcorn to starch. So corn is one vegetable that must be home grown or grown very close to home if it is to be placed on the table really sweet.

Corn is the shallowest rooting large growing vegetable. Its roots radiate like the spokes of a wheel, but they do not go deep. This Is one reason why it is so easily blown over by a high wind if not hilled up. As it is shallow rooting, too deep hoe ing disturbs the root system and hampers growth. This doesn't mean that it shouldn't be hoed, by any means, but hoe lightly and do not dig in too deeply.

If tlie soil is in good condition, stirring the soil with a rake or a cultivator toothed hoe is a better system. produce more sweet corn than the" same number of stalks in a single row fifty feet long. Every strand of corn silk represents a potential kernal of corn on the cob from which it issues. It becomes a kernel of corn provided the dust from the tassel or pollen falls upon it The jollen dust must be deposited on the silk or there is no kernel of corn. The corn depends upon the wind to drift the pollen dust upon tlie silk.

Other plants depend upon bees, but tlie bees do not find corn so much to their liking. The tassels give off clouds of dust. All it needs is direction. In a square of corn, whichever way the wind comes, it drives the dust through the planting. Most of it is hound to fall upon the silks.

In a long single row or a double row, the pollen is blown away in great quanUties.and strikes no--silk that it can fertilize This explains the basis for square planting of corn rather than in long rows.
