 HIE TIES 



Pop C>ru should lie fo:i!id in every garden, especially if there arc chil- 

 dren to enjoy it during the long winter evenings which bring young peuple 

 together for social a;nuscme:it. Il is a fact, not generally known that Pop 

 Corn pops best when more tha n one year old, and that when wel I po pped it 

 becomes twenty times its natural size; thus a quart and u ha I f will make 

 nearly a bushel of popped corn. In the illustration will be seen a conven- 

 ing "popper," which may be bought for a t ri tie from a hardw are store or 

 easily made of wire netting. Did you ever trv I'op Corn as a money making 

 crop? You will be surprised at the result. There is always a good market 

 at a fair price, and if you plant my selected slock seed you will be able to 

 sell your crop to planters in your vicinity at a greatly advanced price.
