Garden
Time
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
There it an old saying to the
effect that when the dogwoods
begin to bloom it is time to plant
corn. That time will soon be here
and we should have our seed on
hand ready to plant.
In the past, especially in east
ern North Carolina, most of the
corn planted for roasting ears
has been of early field corn var
ieties, such as Truckers Favorite
and Early Adams. In recent
years there have been many
commercial plantings of sweet
corn in the State, and there has
been more sweet corn grown in
the home gardens.
Once you grown true sweet
corn you will never go back to
the field corn varieties. There is
no comparison in the quality of
the two types. Sweet corn has a
high sugar content and is very
tender. The objections to sweet
corn have been that the ears are
small and that corn ear-worm
damage is often severe. There are
now many varieties of sweet
corn with large ears and the en
tomologists have developed a
fairly good control for the ear
worm.
Many excellent hybrid varieties
of sweet corn have been develop
ed by the seed breeders. In or
der of earliness some of the best
varieties are: North Star,
cross, Hoosier Gold, Seneca*Oni?r
Golden Cross Bantam, Ioana,
ArLstogold, and Lincoln. For a
succession of corn early and late
varieties may be planted at the
same time, or a desired variety
may be planted at two-week in
tervals. It is best to plant two or
three rows of a variety at the
same time in order to insure pro
per pollination. Sweet coin may
be planted a little closer than
field corn because it usually
makes a smaller stalk growth.
Sweet corn is of best quality if
used as soon as harvested. It it
cannot be used immediately, it
should be kept on ice or in the
refrigerator! otherwise it will
lose a large part of its sugar con
tent in a few hours.
Since 1947 more than 250 per
sons have been trained at N. C.
State College as technicians for
artificial breeding work. The
training covers a period of one
week.
