well lighted and quiet. And
remember that the time for study
is just as important as the place.
A child should be rested and
relaxed after a school day. Allow
him time for active play before
concentrating on homework.
Van Horn suggests that you
help him avoid rushing to finish
homework before a deadline such
as dinner or bedtime. Try to
schedule study time so it doesn’t
conflict with a favorite activity or
necessary function. If possible,
plan the study hour for toe same
time every evening. He’ll become
accustomed to a regular
homework time and be more
ready to concentrate.
If you have preschoolers in toe
home, too, arrange a period of
quiet play for them during the
older child’s study period.
Coloring or finger painting,
reading or listening to a story are
good quiet activities. This quiet
play gives youngsters a chance to
“play” at studying and helps
them get in the habit of a study
period.
When children get older and
homework assignments take
longer, encourage a short study
break. A glass of milk, fruit juice,
cookies or a piece of fruit can
help build up enthusiasm for
returning to studying.
Popcorn - New Crop?
Are Pennsylvania farmers
overlooking the opportunity of
producing another cash crop? A
survey of snack food processors
by marketing specialists of the
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture indicates this is the
case, according to Secretary Jim
McHhle.
These processors are using
between one and 1.5 million
pounds of popcorn annually to

satisfy the demand for this
popular snack food. Less than
five percent of this is being grown
by Pennsylvania farmers. In
creasing freight costs and the
convenience of procuring a
larger part of their needs locally
have increased the interest of
distributors and processors in
contracting for larger quanities
of Pennsylvania grown popcorn.
Farmers who are growing com
as a cash crop would do well to
look into the possibility of
growing popcorn, Secretary
McHale said. The only change
they would have to make on their
equipment would be the in
stallation of special plates in the
planter. Cultural practices are
the same for both field and
popcorn.
Growers in south central
Pennsylvania told a Department
representative they are well
pleased with the returns they
have been getting from this
popcorn. They stated net profits
are better than field com since
there is less labor and risk in
volved. The crop is sold directly
from the field to the wholesale
buyer. There is no storage in
volved and no deductions for
moisture.
The Bureau of Rural Affairs
and Marketing Services is
developing a program to assist
popcorn distributors in locating
Pennsylvania farmers who are
interested in growing this crop.
