fPhat's your favorite garden vegetable?
%loast
jtin' ears!" you can hear whole families shouting in the Southern
"Sfiftes. "Corn-on-the-cob!" exclaim the Northern folks. It's the same
everywhere. Sweet corn is even more American than 'hot dogs'.
During the war many Victory Gardeners discovered the real flavor of
sweet corn for the first time. They ♦
found that all the luscious sweet-
ness is preserved by cooking the
ears as soon as they are picked.
Wh'en they are allowed to lie around
half a day before boiling or roast-
ing, much of the sugar turns to
starch, and there's a flat unappetiz-
ing taste.
Because garden-fresh sweet corn
£ bound to be a "must" for many
peace-time homes, here are a few
tips on how to enjoy even better
results than in the past.
If you have been growing white
corn up to now, why not adventure
with some of the yellow types?
Many think the flavor richer, and
most experts agree that yellow corn
is superior in vitamins. Some of the
new yellow hybrids have certain
advantages over the older types.
The ears are large, the yield un-
usually heavy for the space occu-
pied, and most hybrids are resistant
to certain plant diseases. Golden
Cross Bantam does well almost
everywhere; Ioana is a favorite in
southern areas; Marcross is espe-
! cially adapted to northern gardens.
Where corn diseases are not com.
mon, some of the regular varieties
still take precedence. Many garden-
ers think nothing surpasses the
flavor of true Golden Bantam. And
fortunate folks who have had a
chance to sink their teeth into the
deep milky kernels of Ferry's Golden
want nothing else in their sweet
corn patch.
Whatever the variety, several short
rows should be planted to form a
compact plot, rather than one or
two long rows. This is to make sure
that the wind will carry pollen to
every silk on every ear for only in
that way can all the kernels de-
velop.
Whether hybrids or regular types
of corn are grown, be sure to put in
several plantings ten days to two
weeks apart instead of sowing all
the seed at once. Extend your sweet
com eating time over as long a sea-
son as possible.
Take courage if you have been a
bit discouraged because of the corn
borer or ear worm. There are more
preventives this year and fairly
simple ways to combat the pests.
Begin early if you suspect a corn
borer attack. Apply rotenone dust
liberally on the plant just before the
ears form. Do this four more times,
five days apart. To outsmart the
corn ear worm, wait until the car
has formed and the silk has dried.
Snip off the dried silk close to the
husk, or apply mineral oil at the ear
tips.
