Bath man who is a great lover of
sweet corn has been experimenting for
several years with the object Of pro-
longing the season of that delicacy
and has discovered a simple plan by
which he may have corn a long time
after the close of the regular season.
Further. he is willing that everybody
should benefit from his experiment.
His method is to pull up the stalks
late in the season and pile them up on
grass ground and cover with blan-
ket; the covering prevents the corn
from drying up and the ground keeps
it fresh. BY this means green corn
can be enjoyed several weeks later
than is usual.
