"The production of pop corn for home use is to be encouraged. It gives the children a direct interest in farm life and affords pleasant recreation for the long winter evenings. A plat of 2 rods square will be large enough to produce a good supply for one family. If more is grown than is wanted for home use the surplus usually can be disposed of at a profit. Any one of the common varieties will give satisfactory results if properly handled. It is important to have the pop corn ripen fully on the stalk before harvesting and for this reason it should be planted early in northern sections, so it will have a long season in which to grow and mature. When the stalks are dead the ears may be husked and should then be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place and protected against mice and squirrels." -- p.2
