UNCLE SAM SAYS
pop CORN Will PAY
HERE ARE A FEW RECEIPTS FOR
POPCORN GOODIES

Washington, D. c., Oct. 7-(Specialj
$50 worth of popped corn in the
form of scent packages for the market
represents an outlay of only about 81
OF $3.50, according to farmers bulle-
tin (No. 500 just issued by the depart
ment Of agriculture entitled Popcorn
for The Home Sufficient popcorn to
make $50 worth of scent packages can
be grown on ~iece of land 40 feet
long and 20 feet vide.
The specialists in corn Investigations
who write this bulletin say that pop
corn has considerable value as a food
and when properly prepared for the
table it is superior to many of the
breakfast foods now on the market 1t
is customary on many farms where
popcorn is not desired as a market
crop to plant a few rows for home use.
This phase of farming usually inter-
Iests the children, and it is well to let
them do the planting.
If it is desired to grow popcorn as
a field crop, the surplus stock noy
wanted for home use can usually be
sold to local merchants at fair price
or it can be probably sold directly to
customers.
Dealers who put up popcorn in 10
cent packages for the retail trade US
ually have a number of good recipes
printed on the outside of the package
Some recipes for pop corn CONNECTIONS
that have given good results are the
following:
Chocolate Pop-Corn-Two teacup-
fuls of white sugar; 1-2 cup of corn
syrup; 2 ounces of chocolate; l cup
of water Put these ingredients into
q kettle and cook them until SYRUP
hardens, when put in cold water. Pour
over 4 quarts of crisp, freshly popped
corn and stir we'll to insure the uni
form coating of kernels.
Sugared p-Corn-Make a syruE
by boiling together 2 teacupfuls Il
graduated sugar and 1 teacup of wa
ter. Boil until the syrup strings from
the spoon or hardens when droppet
into cold water. Pour over quarts
of freshly popped corn and stir we'll.
Popcorn Balls-One pint of syrup
1 pint of sugar; teaspoonfuls o.
butter; 1 teaspoonful of vinegar. Cool
till the syrup hardens when droppet
into cold water. Remove to back d
stove and ad one-half teaspoonful o.
soda, dissolved in a tablespoonful O.
hot water, and then pour the hot sy.
rup over quarts of freshly popped
corn, stirring till each kernel is vel
coated, when it can be moulded intc
balls or into any desired form.
Information on choosing varieties
of popcorn for planting, on the care
Of the growing crop, on harvesting ant
storing popcorn, on hand peppers
and methods Of popping corn is al
contained in the bulletin. There are
many photographs, too, including those
Of ears, kernels and peppers. The
