Show I i THURSDAY, JULY 22, OREM-GENEVA TIMES Dirjcr Pcpccni Explosion f.klccs Dnng-Up Product "r AMES, IOWA. Science Is putting a bigger pop In popcorn to make it fluffier and less crunchy. Not long ago popcorn that exploded ex-ploded Into 24 times its original size was considered good. Now good popcorn expands 28 to 30 times in volume. Some varieties developed by Dr. J. C Eldredge and associates at the agricultural experiment station of Iowa State college have expanded 34 times in tests. This big an explosion ex-plosion doesn't always occur, and size 34 popcorn isn't available tor popcorn growers. But it may come along in time. The bigger the explosion, the bigger, big-ger, fluffier and tenderer the pieces of popped corn, Dr. Eldredge said. People like it better, even though they get less popcorn to a bag. Popcorn venders like it better, too, because it takes less corn to draw as much money in sales. Emphasize Explosions For years the emphasis in plant breeding has been to get the bigger explosions. The Job is difficult, because be-cause the corn also must give high yields, stand up well and be suitable suit-able for machine harvesting. Only certain kinds of corn pop welL Moisture in the kernel turns to team, and the kernel explodes. The ateam pressure has to be generated gen-erated quickly enough to produce a sudden expansion. It has been thought that the hull acted like a bomb cover, holding in the steam for a time. But this doesn't seem to be the answer. The hulls can be damaged and the corn ' will still pop. The popping may be due to the structure of the millions of starch grains in the kernel. Dr. Eldredge said. Research since 1928 here in the biggest popcorn-growing state shows tome of the essential! for good popping. pop-ping. The temperature of the popper pop-per should be between 450 and 600 degrees. One part of oil should bt used for every five parts of corn. Most Important, the moisture content con-tent of the corn should be about 13 to 14 per cent. " Popcorn Production The United States produces about ISO million pounds of popcorn a year on the average and Iowa grows 1 about one-third of it About half of the crop is sold to motion-picture theater chains and finds its way into vending machines. Wholesale grocery firms take 25 per cent, selling to grocery stores and popcorn stands. Many of the Stands buy directly from local growers. grow-ers. The other 25 per cent is used by makers of popcorn confections coated with molasses, syrup or cheese. This year the Iowa station is testing test-ing nearly 1,200 different crosses or trial combinations of different lines of popcorn. Each year samples are popped and measured for volume, taste and tenderness. The tests sup-plys sup-plys snowy mountains of popcorn which are sold on the Iowa State campus for the benefit of the Agronomy Ag-ronomy club, the student section of the American Society of Agronomy.

The Upper New York state town has suggested that Colorado Spring accept a small box of earth from Pike's grave and forget about its plan to install the general's remains re-mains under a monument on Pike's peak. Mayor J. . McCullough of Colorado Colo-rado Springs made the rejection official when he said: . "Pike's peak i a God given monument mon-ument for the general and it's the place where he ought to be buried.'' Doug Crouchi president of the-chamber the-chamber of commerce, was a little more emphatic. It's Pike" Boat "We want to bring the general home and we don't1 want any dirt," he said. "The boy set out to get Pike and that's what we're going to do." v The Colorado campaign to remove re-move Pike's remains from the military mil-itary cemetery at Sackets Harbor where he is burled) and give the famed general a final' resting place atop the peak he discovered, gathered new momentum with receipt re-ceipt of the Sackets Harbor offer. The offer of Sackets Harbor earth was made in a letter to the Denver Post from E. W. Dennison, assistant postmaster of the upper New York state town. Dennison sent under separate cover a three-inch, square box containing a sample of earth he was talking about A reporter who looked' Inside said it appeared that General' Pike bow was buried under somewhat rocky soil. The sample was full of pebbles. peb-bles. Secretary Expresses Thanks-Howard Thanks-Howard N. Yates, secretary of the Colorado Springs chamber of commerce, com-merce, was the only man in town who even suggested the box of earth might be welcome. "Tell the man thanks," he askedi "We can plant that as seed and orient the ground so the general will fee) right at home when he gets- here." Yates said he was sure the Pike monument plan would proceed and predicted the army soon would okay the move. Croucb regarded the Sackets Harbor Har-bor letter as an Insult however. "That guy is trying to be funny," he said. "It's silly to think we'd take dirt instead of bones." But it wasn't funny to Asst. Post-master Post-master Dennison of Sackets Harbor, who wrote the letter and sent the box. "Anything we can do to help Colorado Colo-rado we are willing to do except to surrender the remains of Gen. Pike," he said. "We are a little hamlet, but we hold to our historical his-torical past and we want the general gen-eral here, because he sailed from here to his death at the battle oi York." Dennison added a P. S, to his let ter. "I was in Denver 40 years ago,' it said.
