Sweet Corn Looking Better

c. II. Crawford, sweet corn expert
with the Maine Agricultural Depart
ment. passed Thursday and Friday of
last week in Benton, Clinton and
Unity doing special work in the in
terests of the sweet corn growers and
the Maine Sweet Corn Growers AS
ISOLATION, Mr.. Crawford. when seen
Tuesday at the Office, said:
"All the sweet corn growers are
showing keen interest in the work OF
this association and judging from
outward appearances the growers
realize that the association means
success to them as well as to the
packers and in the few localities
where there are packing houses and
no local branches Of the association.
the growers are making plans to or
ganize.
1T is very gratifying to note the
rapid development Of the sweet corn
crop in the past two weeks. Previous
to that time, the growth was very
slow. many acres promising very
small yield. The rain and showers Of
the past two weeks and the very
warm weather have brought the
sweet corn along rapidly and should
these conditions continue 1t would
look like a successful year. although
the acreage appears to, be under the
normal.
ut will be very essential that every
grower Of sweet corn watches the de-
velopment of his crop with great
deal of care, as there Is no certain
promise that this crop can be pro-
duced at a less price than Is being
received this year and unless the
labor situation is more favorable to
the farmers all indications are that It
will cost more to produce sweet corn
IN 1921 than this year.
This brings the grower to the
point where they must consider the
consumer as we'll as themselves. In
demanding a price which will ensure
them cost plus a reasonable profit,
they must remember that quality
alone will warrant prices that will
sustain this demand.
las we approach tho season when
the fairs are to be held. the growers
must bear in mind that the crop OF
preparing and growing and In which
they have put 50 much labor and OK.
pense. must be delivered, when II Ia In

corn-this being the only quality that
will demand satisfactory price a. a

''It is much more to the interest Of
the grower, as we'll as Of the assoeia
ton and packer. that II the grower II

and his crop OF sweet corn. no cer-
tainly must give the sweet corn the
preference, as in several instances In

have left the crop standing while
they attended the fairs and MS a re-
suit. the corn had developed to q
point where it was not suitable tc
