But the reason the yearlings got

I 1T unless these farmers knew some
way of restoring the pop" The
farmers answered that they didn't
know any manner of putting back
the explosive qualities Of the corn, SO
they stored it away, figuring the
crop total loss.
All Of this happened back in 1917.
A frost struck the popcorn in Sac
county, Iowa, that year, the county
where the two Pfeiffer farms are
located in the popcorn center of
the United States. Thousands of
acres of this corn are raised there
every year. Popcorn elevators and
storage places dot every town in this
section. The farraers put the crop on
their best fields. plant, pillow and
harvest it just like they do the field
corn. which is also grown extensively
in adjacent fields.
Well, the Pfeit'fers' 1917 popcorn
crop lay around in the crib for quite
a while. Nobody wanted 1t, for it
wouldn't pop, and of what account Is
popcorn without kick in 1t?
But last January these farmers got
their heads together and held sew

| "popless" corn, during which an idea

Work on the road projects on
which the United States government
is paying half the cost win be rushed
as soon as work can be resumed in

missioner of Public Roads today in
discussing the effect of adverse
court decisions on the program Of
the state road department. More
than 400 convicts from the State
Reformatory are to be worked at
isolated points in the state next
year, he said.
The decision of the appellate
court that the whiskey tax of 80
cents barrel was unconstitutional
and the decision Of a county court
recently that the law permitting
counties to loan money to the state
to build roads was invalid, have
caused road work to come to q vir-
