SW CORN

The queen Of all garden crops i!
| sweet corn eaten from the cob. Othei
things are good, but sweet corn is the
| best and always arouses the most en-
thusiasm in the family. The bes
thing about it, too. is that for the anna
teur gardener. sweet corn is the east
| est to grow OF all the garden crops
1t is practically a sure crop.
The present season so far has not
been favorable for planting sweet corn
but it is now time the seed was in
the ground at least the first planting
Nest experienced gardeners take lit
tie risk on their first planting of sweet
corn, putting it in before conditions
are favorable, hoping for a change to
better weather. If the change doesn't
come they have merely wasted little
seed and the hills can be replanted.
Since living in Bennington the writ
er has generally planted sweet corn
in April and four times out of five the
crop has matured, though often it has
meant borrowing all his wifes tin
dishes TO cover the tender shoots OF
corn once Or twice in May when jack
frost threatened. Young corn plants
are not as tender as beans, but Meth
er one will survive real frost
Ground for corn should be well
plowed and thoroughly narrowed. I'm
less the soil is pulyerized corn will
not do well Some prefer to plow or
harrow in dressing Of manure. while
others advise manuring in the hill
Bill Dickinson Small says do both. A
little hen manure in the hill is great,
but it should be buried two inches be-
low the seed When manure is used
in the hill for any crop, it should be
well covered with fine dirt before the
seed is dropped
Make the corn rows three and one
half feet apart and the hills from
three to four feet apart in the row. &c
oording to variety For the small ear
~ kinds, three feet will do, but for
Stowells Evergreen or Country Gen
tleman. four feet is not too much.
Drop five or six kernels in each hill,
but if they all grow, pull out the
weakest plants. leaving four stalks to
the hill
The finest variety of sweet corn in
the known world is the Golden Ban
tam, though Peep-od day, Cory and Po-
oahontas are earlier. Golden Rod is
similar to Golden Bantam, but some
what larger and later Black Next
GAN is still later and almost as coed
FOR late fall use or canning, StowelPs
Evergreen is generally preferred
Good white varieties are Crosby's Ear
~, Early Minnesota and Country Gen
tleman.
For the average garden, make a
planting of Golden Bantam now, then
in two weeks mike another planting
of the same variety and a planting of
Black Mexican f you have room,
about June is, put in another planting
Of Golden Bantam or Golden Rod. The
last planting should be on July 4 and
should be Golden Bantam. This VIII

off until Sept. 20 1t will be worth

considerable food. but at such excess
sive prices that only the rich are able
to buy 1t in any quantity and the poor
are slowly starving, thirty deaths a
day from starvation being the aver

the men. They report the Turkish

QUEEN is PROMISED
National Guard Troops Take Charge
Of Body Of LiluiokaIani Because Of
Threatened Will Contest - John E.
Colburn Demands Body.

Honolulu, T. H., Nov. II. National
guard troops Of Hawaii have taken
charge of the body of former Queen
Liliuokalani because Of a threatened
will contest. She died suddenly. Con-
troll Of the body was demanded by John
F. Colburn, who asserted that the for
mer monarch, in will dated Aug. 20,
1917, appointed him executor Of the es-
tate, making many changes In the dis
position of the property.
Colburn, former manager Of the Ka-
piolani estate said the will had been
secretly signed. Trustees OF the late
queens estate were inclined to question
the ...:..ha-t!c.., ee the alleged viii,
pointing out that Liliuokalani had been
seriously i'll at the time Colburn claimed
she signed the document.
Attorneys for Colburn said the al
legged new will wiuld have an impor-
tant bearing on the suit Of the Kalan-
ianole estate against the Liliuokalani
