The Silver King Dent Corn, also known as "Wisconsin No. 7", is not to be confused with the hybrid sweet corn of the same name! This early-maturing heirloom white dent corn is the leading white variety in the northern Corn Belt, with full-to-the-tip 8-9-inch long ears, very wide 16-a-row kernels, and leafy stalks that make it an excellent variety for silage. This strong grower, developed in 1904, is especially adapted to resist cold weather. White varieties are typically lower in protein and oil and higher in starch than yellow varieties, making them superior for distillation. Like "Bloody Butcher Corn", it can be roasted when young and ground when mature for grits, meal, hominy, and masa.

Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose an area with heavy, well-draining soil that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 8-12 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.

Corn grow best in soil with lots of organic matter. You may optionally add fertilizer or organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay to mix into the soil at this point. For small gardens, scatter 2-3 tablespoons of fertilizer evenly and work into the top 2-3 inches of soil for each hill or 2 foot by 2 foot planting area. For larger gardens, scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 square feet of planting area. Work fertilizer or organic material into the soil and leave the surface smooth.

Form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 15 inches apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage.

For small gardens, corn is best planted in square blocks instead of long rows to improve cross-pollination between corn stalks.

Planting:

Corn are best direct-sown because they often don’t transplant well. Plant corn outdoors in spring when soil temperatures warm to at least 65F (treated corn can be planted when the soil is at least 55F). To plant, make holes 2 inches deep and spaced 8 inches apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 1 seed per hole. Plant 2-3 seeds if choosing to thin to the strongest plant. When thinning, determine the strongest and healthiest plant, then remove all other plants, narrowing to a single plant per hole. Cover seeds thinly with soil and water after planting.



Planting Depth: 2 inch
Within-Row Spacing: 8 inches
Between-Row Spacing: 15 inches


Care During the Season:

Watering: Keep corn plants watered, soaking the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, once a week. If there is no rainfall, water 2 times a week. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often than heavy clay soils.

A good rule of thumb is to water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Weeding: Keeping plants weed-free improves production. If plowing or hoeing, do not dig deeper than 1 inch to prevent from cutting the feeder roots.

Fertilizing: Once corn plants reach 4-6 inches tall, you may optionally apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, without letting the fertilizer touch the plants. A second round of nitrogen-rich fertilizer can be applied to plants when they reach 12-18 inches tall. Then a final round of nitrogen-rich fertilizer can be applied during the tasseling stage, just before ears silks emerge. Read and follow fertilizer instructions for best application. Water plants after fertilizing.

Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, read the label and follow cautions, warnings and directions.

Diseases: If spots or mold appear, treat plants with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. When using fungicides always follow label directions.

Harvesting:

Sweet corn is usually ready for harvest about 3 weeks after tassels, or male flowers, develop at the top of corn plants. The corn ears are ripe and heady to harvest when the juices from the kernels are milky white, the silks on the ears have turned dark brown, the ears are firm, and the kernels on the tips of the unhusked ears are plump and milky. If the juices from kernels are watery, the ears are not yet ready. Corns ears may be overripe if the kernels are chewy and pasty like dough (starchy). To harvest sweet corn ears, hold the stalk below the ear and twist the tip of the ear toward the ground until it breaks off. Harvest sweet corn in a timely manner since the quality can change quickly. Keep corn in the husks and refrigerated for best storage.

Hard to review.
Format: Kindle
The good: It was the only book eligible for the Buzzworthy achievement for the summer reading challenge that I had any interest in and it's available on Kindle Unlimited, so YAY. There is also a very engaging quality to the writing to make it readable. The bad: This is not, in my opinion, a whistleblower's memoir. There is too much fondness, nostalgia and pride in many of these stories. You can just tell that she's been using alot of this to regale others while working for FB and since leaving. Time and the totality of the experience haven't changed the fact that she clearly loved what she was doing and real whistleblowers are more jaded, cynical, burntout and/or betrayed by everything they've been through. I may have been wrong in expecting this to be a whistleblower's story, but if you're testifying before a Senate Judiciary Committee, like she did, I expect more whistleblowing. I also expect to feel more strongly about FB (the focus of the revelations) than the author, but I have so many notes and highlights that comment on the author because I already knew much of this and deleted my FB 10 years ago now, but I knew nothing about this person until reading the memoir. My impression is not good, but I still don't know anything to speak to them as a person. I will say that I was extremely frustrated early on by her "I'm just a random person from New Zealand" shtick. Randos don't get anywhere near the spaces that she had been, was currently in and was going to be in. The inability to see their own privilege and complicity makes it hard for me to feel anything really positive about this read. I got my achievement badge, though, so there's that.

Valuable and Engaging Book but with Poor Timing - It's Our Fault, too.
Format: Kindle
If this is not enough reason for companies and individuals, with even a sliver of good judgement, to stop using all Meta products ASAP, I am not sure what is. Careless People is consistent with, builds upon and confirms what both the "Real Facebook Whistleblower," Frances Haugen (The Power of One) and Jeff Horwitz (Broken Code) have already brought us. While Wynn-Williams did not have the mountains of solid evidence that I believe made the work of Haugen and Horwitz more important, Careless People does provide an interesting perspective and more detail, not only on Meta's failures caused by the drive for more profit, but also the profound personality flaws of Meta's top people. Assuming Careless People is reasonably accurate, Sarah Wynn-Williams is a very brave, resilient woman who wanted to do the right thing for Meta. She sacrificed way too much to help Meta when they did not deserve it. She offers a descriptive account of the difficulties she encountered in her role, including cases of bizarre sexual harassment and being sent to dangerous places all over the world. Even if these are exaggerated, the creativity she had in handling such situations makes the book so interesting to read. So many things went wrong for Wynn-Williams that would have caused many of us to give up, but she kept fighting (like Haugen). While any book providing the reasons why we all need to stop using Meta products is good progress, I am disappointed that Wynn-Williams never mentions Haugen or Horwitz in the acknowledgments or gives them credit for paving the way. I would have expected this at a minimum, since those books have been out since 2021 and those authors have provided abundant proof of Meta's world-wide and excessive damage - 22,000 pages of such proof (see the "2021 facebook leak" on Wikipedia) . As of March 2025, Wynn-Williams had never reached out to either of those two, nor offered to collaborate with them. Jeff Horwitz has interviewed hundreds of former Meta employees. Wynn-Williams left facebook in 2017. So while she offers more detail about what was wrong at Meta, she seems too late. And without any credit to the others, especially Frances Haugen, who risked just as much, if not more than Wynn-Williams, it seems strange that Wynn-Williams would now finally come forward, suspiciously looking like an attempt to use their success towards her own. That part still needs to be answered. The obvious lesson is that the 3 billion users of Meta products are "Careless," too. Nothing changes a company's behavior faster than when people stop using its products. For more than 6 years, since Roger McNamee published "Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe" in 2019, we have known that Meta products suck the data out of users to sell it to anyone willing to pay for it. If you use any Meta products yourself and/or never bother to check that any website you are using, is sending your data to Meta with everything you click on (many tools are available to help you with this), but yet you claim to be an opponent of Trump, you have no one to blame but yourself. Meta gets away with the disastrous and horrific fallout of their carelessness BECAUSE WE LET THEM! In fact, given what Wynn-Williams has brought us, along with the others before her, can't we simply conclude that it is POOR JUDGEMENT for any person or company to actually use Meta, Inc. products in 2025? Meta is similar to the tobacco companies in the 70s who were not doing anything illegal (arguably still TBD for Meta). We all knew their products were dangerous, but so many continued to use them. Hopefully it will not take decades for people to change in this case. So unless there is some miraculously speedy and unprecedented exodus from Meta's user base, look for someone worse than Trump in the 2028 general election and 535 more of them in Congress now that the word is out that all you need are friends at Meta to get elected. Hang on because it's going to get much worse.

The modern Great Gatsby
Format: Hardcover
It is a very interesting (words) and depressing (reality) book to read. As a former Facebook employee, this book allows me to reflect my time at the company from a new angle, confirming some of the hypothesis I had, and shedding great insights into my experience. Thank you Sarah for sharing her story. We are all in this together.

Riveting, believable, depressing
Format: Kindle
Anyone who studies business recognizes the evolution. At the start, employees are comrades and customer's are wooed. Beyond a certain size, employees become line times and customers become commodities.

Fantastic series by a creative artist
Format: Paperback
Amulet, a graphic novel by Kazu Kibuishi ( , ), is geared towards the 9-12 age group. However, the novel will captivate anyone that begins to read it as they are swept along a moving story with beautiful illustrations. Our young heroine Emily witnesses the death of her father in the opening pages of this novel. Emily, her mother, and her brother Nevin move into the home of their missing great grandfather. There are secrets lurking within the house, one that soon ensnares Emily's mom. She's dragged from the basement by a tentacle through an open door and Emily and Nevin must go on a rescue mission to another world. This story captivates the reader from the beginning. The reader is compelled to feel for the characters of the story, from Emily witnessing the death of her father to watching her mom being dragged away by some unknown creature. Although this is only the first part of the series the reader gets a true sense of the characters, their feelings, and their emotions and is left hanging at the end of this book and wanting more. What really sells the story are the illustrations as they capture and convey the moods of the characters and their surroundings. The drawings have a light airy quality to them, with a simple, but moody, color palette to show off the extensive use of shadows to convey emotions of the character in graphic detail. The reader is never left wanting or wondering what the characters are thinking, the colors clearly display what they feel--the age of the great-grandfather is written into the lines on his face, the fear and courage of Emily as she seeks to save her what's left of her family. As the story progresses a darker palette is used and we are left wanting the lighter colors to return. Something unique about the drawings is that when the story first begins the characters almost look undefined. While we can read their emotions they are merely shapes on a page. However, as the story progresses they gain more depth and emotion. This novel is a must read. A strong young heroine, with monsters and robots as well, enough to keep any crowd entertained. The moving illustrations and compelling story make this a great read and the book is highly recommended for all ages.
