HOMEGROWN Sweet Corn Is
Best-Good Advice on How
To Grow Your Roasting Ears

To have sweet corn at its best, says
the q. 8. department Of agriculture, It
should be on the IRE within Is minutes
after being pulled from the stalk. It
loses quality very rapidly after being
picked because its sugar changes into
starch. This II q 6ne argument for
having this crop In the home garden,
If space win allow. Those who wish
to grow their own roasting ears will
md the following advice useful:
Corn does best In q fertile soil, but
10 able to adapt itself to all textures
from sand to clay. To grow It in suf-
ncient quantities for the average fam
lily requires more space. however, than
for most garden vegetables. It should
not be planted until after danger Of
frost 70 past. .
The rows should be spaced not clos
er than three feet apart. and for the
larger-growing late varieties the dis
lance had best be three and one-half
feet. Stalks should be thinned to
stand from Is to IS inches in the row.
In planting, the seed is covered with
one or two inches Of soil. Cultivation
must be thorough, frequent, and shall
low.
1t is possible to use the ground occu-
pied by early corn for a fall planting
Of such crops as spinach, turnips, and
kale. Large, late varieties Of corn,
however, will occupy the ground for
practically the whole season.

First Street Lighting.

Gas for street lighting was first used
in Pail Mall, London, III years ago.
The first attempt to introduce the use
of gas in America was In Baltimore,
in 1916. The project was unsuccess-
full In 1922 It was introduced In Bos-
ton, and in the following year New
York streets were lighted by eas. The
system did not prove successful, how
ever, until 1927. The use Of gas spread
rapidly in other cities In the United
States and Canada Rosin and oil were
used for producing gas In America In
the early days Of the industry. but lat
er Newcastle coal and the Albert coal
OF Nova Scotia, were employed.

Accidents Can Be Avoided
by Observing Safety Rules

Statistics show that in the United
States during the year 1915 there
were approximately $1,000 fatal acci.
dents and 100000 serious injuries,
says the Magazine of Safety. One
half of this enormous number have
been classified as accidents occurring
to employees Of the manufacturing
industries and public service COM
panies throughout the country-50
per cent Of which would have been
avoided IL workmen had not been
careless. while another rs per cent
may safely be attributed to Thought
lessness. Needless accidents can
only be eliminated by everyone prac-
ticing the rules Of safety at all times
