GREAT DEMAND FOR POPCORN
Short Crop Last Year Has Almost
Exhausted Reserve Supply in
the United States.

The enormous increase in demand
end a short crop last year has almost
completely exhausted the reserve sup
ply Of popcorn In the United States.
In previous years the reserve has al
ways been maintained. In 1916 the
popcorn raiser sold his 1915 crop. In
1915 he sold his 1914 crop. etc. But
now that reserve is gone. and the 1917
crop is on the 1913 market months be-
fore IL would be marketed normally.
And popcorn that usually brought two
cents per pound In the field two years
ago is now bringing five and six cents.
and may double In price within the
next year.
The 1917 crop will be barely suffl-
cient TO supply the country's demand
for this delicious CONNECTION until a
new crop is harvested. But the price
OF corn In the field is bound TO In
crease materially.
Until a few years ago the average
man gave little thought TO ''the corn
that pops" he looked upon popcorn
as n business for street vendors.
Here is an opportunity that every
farmer should investigate. The United
States department of agriculture has
issued several bulletins or the produc.

right CARE FOR
CABBAGE FIELDS
Plant Sanitation viii Prevent
Many of Injurious Diseases
of This Plant.
CROP ROTATION IS FAVORED
Seed Bed Is often Source of Infection
and Greatest Pains Should Be
Taken TO Insure Healthy Plants
Use Lime Freely.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Cabbage diseases which have been
known 10 destroy practically entire
crops are preventable in the main by
simple methods of plant sanitation.
Crop rotation Is one of the chief foes
of these diseases. Rotations should be
practiced, avoiding crops which belong
to the cabbage family, such as cauli-
flower, turnipS, Brussels sprouts, and
kale. Keep down mustard and weeds
which harbor cabbage pests. Drainage
water and refuse from diseased cab
bage fields may carry infection. as will
stable manure with which diseased ma
terial has been mingled The seed bed
is often a source OF infection, and the
greatest pains. therefore should be
taken to insure healthy plants. Locate
sible, or sterilize by steam the soil that
Is used. Disinfect all cabbage seed be-
fore planting &c prevent blackrot and
black-leg. ClubrOot is avoided by the
free use of lime and by setting healthy
plants.
How Diseases Are Spread.
Fungous and bacterial diseases are
carried from one place TO another by
various means, such as insects, in
fected seed, TRANSFORMING from an in
fected seed bed to the field. drainage
water, cabbage refuse and stable ma
nure, farm animals and tools, and
wind. In view of these facts the chief
aim of the farmer should be TO pre-
vent, if possible, the Introduction and
distribution of destructive diseases on
his farm In order to accomplish this,
several precautions should be observed,
of which the more important are the
disinfection of seed. the location and
care of the seed bed, and crop rotation.
To disinfect seed, use one ounce Of
formaldehyde (40 per cent? to two
gallons of water, or one teaspoonful
to a teacupful OF water. Soak the
seed for 20 minutes in this solution,
dip in clear water to wash off the for
maldehyde, and then spread in thin
layers TO dry. stirring if needed.
To Dsinfect Soil.
To avoid danger of spreading the
disease to noninfected fields by means
of the plants from the seed bed the
following recommendations are made
for disinfecting the soil in which the
plants are grown: Sterilization by
means OF drain tile laid in the bottom
