FORTUNE MADE BY
RAISING POPCORN
Europe Begins to Demand Grain
From Iowa Growers

A good many persons might be dis
posed to look upon the industry of
popcorn growing as a small business.
However. there is a lot of popcorn
consumed in these United States and
somebody has to raise it-else the de-
votees thereof will experience a long.
felt want
These facts were realized a number
of years ago by an Iowa man, A. H.
Reuber by name, and he set about max
ing speciality of popcorn, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. He planted
25 acres to start with and the result
was so satisfactory that he steadily in
creased the size of his crop from year
to year. He acquired more land and
planted more popcorn, and found no
trouble in disposing of all he could
raise at good price.
Some Of Reuber's neighbors. observed
that he seemed to be making good
thing out of his venture. and they set
about trying 1t on their own account.
BY that time Reuber had established
a reputation popcorn grower and
was receiving more orders than he
could FILL So he bought the crops of
his neighbors as they matured. People
kept on getting interested In popcorn
until the little town of Odebolt, with a
population of only 1900, claims to be
the popcorn center of the world. Last
year 100000 pounds were produced
within a radius of Is miles of the
town, and more is being grown every
year Reuber is popcorn king and Ode
bolt is headquarters for popcorn.
The average profit of the crop is said
to be Sabout $50 to the acre, though
there are instances of larger profits
being made. One farmer near Odebolt
received s3;7s0 for the output of 40
acres and others have done approx
mately as well. In the meantime Reu-
Der is handling vast quantities of the
grain and Is encouraging all his farm
er friends to raise more of it, as the
demand is constantly increasing. Pop
corn has now been introduced in
Europe, and the people over there like
it, Foreign orders are piling up at
Odebolt, and If the excitement keeps up
the whole state of Iowa is likely to
catch, the infection and go to raising
popcorn for the crowned heads, and for
the crownless ones at home as well.

CHURCH FORMS PARISH
FOR NEGRO MEMBERS
Move of EpiScopaIians May
Become Statewide

OAKLAND. July 2H-What is ex-
pected 10 be a statewide movement to
organize parishes for negroes among
the Episcopal churches of California
was started at St. Johns church
Eighth and Grove streets, today at {
o'clock, when the negro members of the
parish were formed into a separate
body under the pastoral direction Of
DR. J. II. McIlvaine, a former minister
OF San Jose.
The meeting, held in the Sunday
school apartment of the church. was
attended by IS negro parishioners,
who held their first session, with Doc
tor Mcllvaine as pastor. Doctor Nell
Vaine was formerly a Baptist. having
but recently Joined the Episcopal
church. He viii prepare for ministerial
duties at the Divinity school of San
Mateo. in the meanwhile directing the
new parish.
Rev. Edgar r. Gee Of ST. Johns
church, said today that there were
enough negroes among the Episcopal
churches of the city TO allow of the
establishment Of more than one parish
on a substantial. 1ourishing basis, and
that the conduct of separate services
would prove beneficial in every way.
Our object in bringing them to-
gether as 2 parish of their own" said
Rev Mr.. Gee, is simply TO promote
their advancement in the work Of the
church, which, I believe. will be more
rapid and successful in such a way.
The negro and white people have TO
be appealed to in different ways. The
establishment Of the parish is not a de-
parture from custom. as there are
great many parishes for negroes
throughout the church today"
