Why does popcorn pop? The depart
ment OF agriculture answers the ques-
ton, which was propounded TO 1t by a
small boy. Popcorn pops by reason of
the volatIiizatlon OF the oil contained
In the kernal by heat. Field corn does
not pop because the outer portion OF
the kernel is more porous, permitting
the escape OF the oil as it voiatizes.
while in the case of popcorn a great
pressure is developed in the kernel by
the confined oil aud the kernel is sud
