Show Good Profits In Popcorn. With popcorn so popular an article of consumption as It is, there is no farm in any section of the corn belt that should not grow a patch to supply sup-ply the family needs. Popcorn will do well on any land that will produce a good crop of corn. It should be cultivated and cared for in the same general manner as corn, though it may be planted more closely. It ripens In about 100 days and It should be shocked as soon as it Is ripe, so that it will dry out well before be-fore husking. It will produce from 50 to 60 bushels of ears with a good stand, and this will fetch from $1 to $2 per bushel. |
