One of the disadvantages
, of sweet corn in home gar-
| lens is the relatively short
larvesting season. Th^ corn is
in'’ for about 10 days, as a
general rule, shorter than
nost other garden crops.
To overcome this objection,
| some gardeners make two or
I more plantings at intervals
' of about two weeks. This
spreads the harvesting sea
son over a longer period.
But in staggering plant-
ngs, gardeners should re
member that some varieties
mature later than others.
When you're using the same
variety, staggering or two-
week intervals is all right.
But if you’re planting two
varieties, you could have
them maturing at the same
time anyway.
For instance, if you plant a
late maturing variety like
Anstogold Bantam Ever
green first, and follow two
veeks later with a planting
if Seneca Chief, a mid-
mended lor home gardens. If
you live m the Coastal
Plains, you might also try
Merit or \K 1304.
Although many home gar-
'leniTs plant it. Anstogold
Bantam Evergreen is a so-
called commercial variety
that performs best in the
Piedmont
We are expecting, in the
years ahead, some big im
provements in sweet corn.
You have perhaps heard of
the so-called "double-sweet"
varieties, and the sweet corn
that is supposed to he more
resistant to the corn ear
worm.
Perhaps tlu- most impor
tant work in the C. S. on
these things is going on at
the LSI)A Vegetable Breed
ing Laboratory at Charleston.
From this work it's entirely
possible that we'll one day
have sweeter corn that will
stay sweet longer, and corn
that isn't so badly infested
with worms.

( hip ability, personality, de-
i icndabilitd and good charac-
- er.

Worn or stretched elastic—
Vhenever elastic that is
;ewed to a garment becomes
vorn out or stretched, just
iaste cord elastic through the
worn-out elastic. Pull it up
and knot it. Sometimes it is
lifficult to find a needle
with an eye large enough to
do this by hand, but you can
do it by getting a ‘‘crewel
Needle.”
Always keep an adequate
supply of water — The aver
age cow giving milk drinks
from 25 to 35 gallons of wa-
'er a day so be sure your
beef and dairy cattle have an
adequate supply of fresh,
clean water at all times.
Still time to plant sweet
peas — Did you plant sweet
peas last fall? If not, put
them in during the first open
spell in February.
Wild Animals — If your
farm is to have wild animals
on it, sufficient cover must
he maintained to feed and
^ protect them. Quail seldom
range more than 40 acres and
rabbits more than 10. Pheas
ants, however, range much
further.
