Sweet Corn Grows in North With Special Cultural Care
Man's ingenuity makes it
possible to grow sweet corn
successfully as far north as Fort
Simpson in the Northwest Ter-
ritories of Canada.
Fort Simpson is about 62 de-
grees latitude north, hundreds
of miles north of the "corn belt;
and experiences long cold win-
ters and short hot summers.
W. A. Russell, superinten-
dent of CDA's experimental
farm at Fort Simpson, reveals
that polyethelene mulch and
high phosphate fertilizer have
DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER
SPREAD BETTER?
At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer may look very
much like most other kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important
difference. Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones
consist of a dry mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can com-
pare it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out
a handful of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong
balls—and that is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
Every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaran-
teed plant food elements in the right proportion.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with
any broadcast -type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the
smallest to the largest) of free -running SHUR-GAIN Selected -Granulated Fer-
tilizer is nutritionally balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of
complete and even intake of all the plant food by your crops. There are no
excesses in one area and starvation in another with SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN
—the finest fertilizer for your good earth!

LIKES LONG SUMMERS
Sweet corn is liked by most
Canadians but its availability is
somewhat limited because it
grows well only in areas with
long hot summers.
Seventeen years of experi-
mental work have shown that
Arctic First, developed by the
Morden Experimental Farm,
Manitoba, is the varrety with
the best chance of maturing
edible ears in the northern re-
gions,
Mr. Russell says that its
chances are greatly helped by
cultural practices such as plant-
ing the hills 12 inches apart un-
der three-foot wide clear poly-
thelene mulch of 11 mil grade
in which small holes have been
cut to allow the plants to
emerge. This has increased the
yield of edible ears fourfold and
the size of the ears by more
than 40 per cent.
NEEDS SHELTER
Using a high phosphate fer-
tilizer such as 11-48-u at the
rate of 60 pounds per acre in
the row at.seeding time further
promoted yield, ear size and
early maturity.
Sweet corn is a heat loving
plant and, in the north, needs
a sheltered location.
Though further advances
may be made by breeding ear-
lier varieties, production is not
expected to be successful very
far north of Fort Simpson, con-
cluded Mr. Russell.
