Many early gardeners already have their first planting of sweet corn peeping well above the ground, says E. F. Downen, county agricultural agent. Others, not so fortunate, may have lost their first planting as a result of high water or wet soil. In any case, the best time to plant sweet corn to avoid severe damage by the European corn borer is from May 20 to June 20. June is the seeding time for Golden Bantam corn.

Unfortunately, nearly the entire crop of sweet corn ears matures during the period of only about 10 days, but this drawback is easily overcome by making new plantings every two weeks, with the last planting July 4. Sweet corn is a heavy feeder. A large handful of 3-8-7 Victory garden fertilizer may be worked into the soil under each eight feet of row, before planting, advise Purdue University horticulturists. When the stalks are about four inches high the fertilizer applications may be repeated along the row or in a ring around each hill, and hoed into the soil thoroughly. Excessive periods of heavy rain are often followed by dry spells. If this should happen, sweet corn will suffer severely, especially as it first begins to silk. Several heavy applications of water at such times may easily double the yield. It pays to water sweet corn even if the water must be applied by a family bucket brigade. Although it is beyond human power to turn off the rain, it is always possible to make up a deficiency on at least part of the garden area.

Steps taken by government agencies to reduce food prices threaten the life of the retail food distribution industry. These agencies hesitate to tackle the inflation problem at its root where it would affect one and all alike. Failure to establish an adequate tax and war financing program, temporizing with pressure groups, appeasement of labor racketeers, political aspirations that take precedence over the welfare of the nation—all of these things contribute to the rising cost of living. And it is the merchant who must pass the accumulated costs on to the ultimate consumer, as those costs are beyond his control.

Irrationally, the politicians, as they witness their mistakes advertised on the price tags of necessities, are seeking to force food distributors to cover up for them by establishing prices wholly but of line with costs.

The mistakes of food administration in the war emergency cannot be kept from the public by a “cover-up” policy which attempts to make retailers the goat. Retail distributors have done a magnificent job of carrying out price and rationing controls, just as they have in maintaining an efficient distribution system in the face of overwhelming handicaps. But they cannot and should not be expected to subsidize the mistakes of government. Attempting to “roll back” or “freeze” retail prices before the cost of production is controlled, is like trying to hold back the tide by an edict that it shall not rise.

A Food Forum will be held in New York, June 15 and 16, under the sponsorship of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association. Purpose of the Forum, said President Fred H. Sexauer, is to “acquaint the public with the magnitude and importance of the food problem, which is steadily becoming more acute. “The whole food problem has become involved by controversy between the champions of labor, the champions of farmers and the champions of food industries and further befogged by the question of inflation. The purpose of this forum is to provide dispassionate discussion of all phases of the problem so that the facts may become public.” Producers, processors, distributors and educators will partipate.
