POPCORN
Americans were enjoying
freshly popped corn for long
years before the movie theater
came info being. But the increas
ing number of popcorn conces
sions at amusement parks and
theaters, and of popcorn candies
and home poppers, have helped
boost the consumption of popcorn
over the past 20 years. This big
taste for popcorn calls for big
production. It is estimated that
over 325 million pounds of pop
corn were produced in this coun
try last year.
Today’s popcorn growers plant
hybrids which yield tender,
flavorful corn that increases in
volume up to 35 times when pop
ped.
When popcorn with the proper
amount of moisture is heated,

den release of steam pressure
forces the kernel to burst. It’s
worthwhile to keep popcorn so it
will hold the proper amount of
moisture when you’re storing it
at home, because moisture has so

i. JNCREASES MILK PRODUCTION — ' Cows
give their best under cool, ventilated
conditions. With a temperature of
50° and ideal' humidity conditions,
plus plenty of fresh air, cows eat more,
drink more and give more milk.
EXTENDS BUILDING LIFE— Planned ven
tilation keeps moisture at a minimum,
thus saves timbers from rotting, ceiling
and walls from warping, metal equip
ment from rusting.
PREVENTS DRAFTS— Drafts can be
harmful and expensive if they cause
mastitis, colds or other sickness. Draft
free electric ventilation can help pre
vent losses due to reduced milk
production, expense of veterinary
treatment and possible loss of valuable
stock.
PROVIDES CLEAN FRESH AIR — Electric
ventilation removes barn odors, reduces
fouled moisture that otherwise settles
in and taints'milk.
CONTROLS STABLE TEMPERATURES —
Controlled temperatures and ventila
tion makes the barn a lot more com
fortable, better-smelling, and a much
more pleasant place in which to work
as well as benefiting the herd.
