If hills suit you better. sow

of corn need two feet between

Continuous
Corn Yield

WHILE corn yields but a
w small amount OF food for
the space il occupies, and there
fore is not a good investment
for the fellow with only small
garden. it is so good TO eat that
il might we'll merit the title OF
Americas favorite vegetable.
Corn, being a hot weather
crop, may be planted any time
now. Most of the very early
corn planted this year rotted
due 10 the heavy rains and must
he replanted.
For continuing yield. two
methods of planting may be fol-
lowed. 1t is possible 10 plant at
once several varieties of corn
which mature in different
lengths of time. thus giving a
long season; or one or two vari-
cites may be sown in successive
paintings, about 10 days apart,
thus having ears of a second
planting ready for use when the
first are gone.

The idea in stalking is TO save
space and 10 get yield Of finer
fruit, Therefore. the plant is
allowed to have either single
stalk or two or three stalks. no
more. There are many differ
ent methods of stalking. but the
general principles apply TO all.

Corn Pests

There are three important
corn pests. The first is disease
called smut, caused by fungus.
There are white SwellingS on
various parts of the plant which
break open showing soft black
masses of spores by means Of
which the fungus spreads. There
is no cure. The idea is 10 pick
off the white masses and burn
them BEFORE they turn black.
The European corn borer
starts with a small, grayisf1,
night flying moth which lays its
eggs on the under sides of the
leaves. SO the first step in con-
troll is to watch for the eggs
and destroy them. Within a few
days the worms hatch and
usually aim for the growing
points. To get ahead of them.

leaves and the central whorl on
top of the stalk with rotenone

five-day intervals b Q & inning

The large brown or green
worm on corn is the corn ear
worm. To control, watch for
the time when the silk begins
to wither. Then apply a few
drops of mineral oil in which
rotenone has been mixed 10 the
tip of each husk, down between
the silk, using a small oil can.

Here S How

If A single stem is desired,
pick the strong main stem and
then pinch out all suckers which
appear in the axis of the
leaves and which if allowed TO
grow would shoot out sideways.
(See illustration If several
stems are desired. allow them
TO grow from the bottom of the
main stem, and keep all others
pinched off.
Start tieing the plant TO the
stake while II is still young. Use
soft material such as strips OF
old rags. because tomato steps
are very easily bruised. Wrap
the tieing material twice around
the stake and pull it tight and
firm. Then tie.

Compost

BY ISABEL ZUCKER

MAKING a compost heap IS
AVA simply another method Of
getting organic matter for the
soil. but IN this case Is al
lowed 20 decay in one spot ana
the resulting enriched soil is
then moved 10 wherever II is
needed IN the garden.
Compost piles or heaps may
he made on the surface Of the
ground or IN pit dug below
the surface. ! cannot recon-
ment the PIT method because
the material put in II does not
get sufficient air 10 help II
decay quickly and therefore
often becomes odlous and a real
nuisance.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-04
Start With Clippings

However. a compost pile on
the surface need never be a
menace 10 either the nose or
the health of tho family. Start
with a pile of vegetable gar
bage. grass clippings or weeds
that have Re insects or fHheotS
diseases on them-nor any seeds
either.
Spread this matter so il forms
q layer about three feet wide
and as long as you have space
for. Keep piling until it is six
or eight inches thick and every
time you add a bushel Of gar
den trash. add with IL a handful
of complete fertilizer. Simply
sprinkle the fertilizer on top Of
the trash. This helps promote
decay.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-04
Cover With Dirt

On top of the layer of garden
wastes, put layer Of several
inches of dirt. II doesn't have
10 he your best soil. rather IL
might be your worst. to be i'm
proved in the composing. If
manure is available. add what
you car 10 this layer of earth.
II manure is plentiful and the
pile is tar from the house. this
layer might be almost entirely
OF manure.
As the heap is piled. keep it
cupped at the top SO that rain
will be caught and the refuse
will be moistened. If compost
is wanted well-rotted for use
turn il every two months.

STAYS Firm

This keeps the tie at this
level, preventing it from sliding
up and down the stake. Then
loop the material around the
stem of the plant and, allowing
room for movement in the wind,
tie once more. These ties should
be made at intervals of 10
inches 10 a foot up the stem, so
