Popcorn For the Home
By S. R. Mitchell of the Faculty of N NJ State College

4 S RECOMMENDED by c. P. Hart
n ley and J. G. Willier in charge
of corn Investigations for the
United states department Of agricul-
ture, popcorn should be planted
early before the field crops and truck
stuff. so it will have a long growing
season. II it is not mature when
harvested the popped corn will not be
flaky and the popcorn balls VIII not
be crisp. The time recommended for
planting is when the oak trees begin
to show their new leaves A well
drained sandy loan soil is preferable.
Varieties.
Three common varieties Of popcorn
are the White Pearl, White Rice and
Eight Rowed. White Rice is the most
extensively grown; but the large size
of the popped kernels OF the Eight
RoWed variety makes this popular for
Christmas decorations.
Corn That Fails to Pop.
New corn may be used for popping
as soon as IL has become sufficiently
air dried. II properly stored after
harvesting, it may be popped by
Christmas time. When corn will not
pop it has lost too much moisture and
is said to be old. Such corn may De
remedied by sprinkling with water or
keeping in a vessel where water might
be absorbed. or in humid localities
BY exposing in open pans to the mOis-
ture in the atmosphere HumidOrs
=
climates to rejuvenate old popcorn
often the corn is so exceedingly dry
that IL is necessary to soak II in wa
ter and spread IL out to partially dry
to the popping state. Popcorn has
been found TO pop best when II con-
tains about u percent OF moisture.
How to Pop Corn.
Experience is the best instructor in
popping corn successfully but there
are a certain few suggestions, which,
if followed will bring good results
Too much popcorn should not be used
at one time. not more than enough
to cover the bottom of the pepper
one kernel deep. The pepper should
be held high enough above the heat
used in order to avoid scOrehing or
burning the kernels too quickly.
It has been suggested that the right
degree of heat for successful corn
popping should start the popping in
about one and one-half minutes. The
popped corn will, not be crisp and
flaky if the kernel has been heated
too quickly. To preserve the snowy
wniteness of the popped kernels. the
flame must be kept from striking
them. This can be done hy placing
plate Of iron or a stove lid between
the corn and the fire If a wire pepper
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-11-22

IS used, OF by using a pan pepper II
popping directly over the flame.
Ordinarily, if proper conditions are
observed one pint of popped corn viii
produce Is to 20 pints when popped.
A certain amount OF water Is neces-
sary in the kernel so that this may
expand when heated and burst the
grain open, hence dry corn viii not
pop until soaked
Home Uses.
Popcorn is ordinarily eaten soon
after IL is popped, but often crack
aJack, popcorn balls and other con-
Melted butter and salt are often added
to the popped corn Some homes use
II like a breakfast food by adding to
il milk and sugar. The parehed
unpopped kernels when ground Ike
coffee make a very good breakfast
food for eating with cream and sugar
or for boiling with water and serving
like oatmeal Popcorn vendors some
times make palatabIs preparation by
popping the corn in melted butter and
lard with added salt In many ranch
houses the delicious popcorn cake IS
considered a necessary adjunct to the
Christmas festivities
POp-COrl Recipes
Many cook books give recipes for
delicious preparations from popcorn.
some Of which follow:

although as it turns out, the cabinet
and not lord ROsebery. refused to
make the appointment.
Lord Rosebery brought the matter
to the attention of the cabinet by
reading letter from LabOuchere. in
which the latter said that not having
been admitted to the new government,
and feeling the advance Of years, he
had no wish to remain longer in the

Tells of LabOuchere's
Failure to Secure Post
When Queen Opposed

London. Eng, Nov. 22-The publ
cation by lord Eversley. a former
member OF Mr.. Gladstone's cabinet. OF
the circumstances under which the
government refused the post OF min
lister at Washington to Henry Labou-
ohere, has caused a good deal OF talk
in political circles.
As is well known queen Victoria
refused to have AIr. Labouchere among
her advisers. He was consequently
barred from cabinet rank. just as have
been other clever men for having made
slips or having faults which the SOW
ereign of the day refused to overlook.
Mr. LabOuchere always posed as a
man who never sought office, but lord
Eversley shows that he did ask lord
ROsebery, then secretary. or state for
foreign affairs, for the Washington
post. and because he did not get il
never fOrgave his old political ally,
