4-= iusN nv tnuf NAT BE OVEHNNE Aft & Result of Attractive Prices Intoest Is Gaming w Momentum. THE NEWeMOttSkAI,, fiADOSB, tC C, 5*S- « * y 1 j# .Indications now point to the possi- Wlity that pop corn growing may be •\^one in 1881, say specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture. Pop com prices, they point out, are very sensitive to supply, and price depressions due to overproduction have ■•ccurred in the past After a few years of fairiy normal produc tion, If a short crop occurs as the re sult of unfavorable weather or other causes, the price rises to a figure at tractive to growers. Immediately many new producers appear who fiood the market with disastrous effects to the old growers as well as to themselves. Relatively high current prices for pop com and low prices for field corn have somblned to make pop com ap pear n desirable crop, says special ists of the bureau of plant industry. Judging from current correspondence, they say, many old growers are ex panding their acreage and others, at tracted by stories of their neighbors’ profits, are planning to substitute pop com for part of their field corn acre age. The present interest in pop com has bee|] gaining'momentum for more than a 'year as the .result of attrac tive prices. Ordinarily the unbalanced situation would have corrected itself before now, but the weather of 1930 conspired to reduce the yields of pop corn as well as of field corn and so put off the day of price rectification. Stocks of old pop corn were pretty well cleaned up during the winter of 1929-30 and prices rose considerably. In response to this stimulus, acreage was expanded in 1930 but the effect was offset by the nnfavornhie weath er. Prices of pop corn have declined somewhat lately, partly at least In sympathy with general price levels, but they are still relatively high as compared with field com, the special ists point out. What is happening may be illus trated by the situation Jn Iowa, they say, which is the leading state in the ■production of commercial pop com Jn 1930 Iowa increased her pop com ftcrenge to nearly twice that of 19^ jind nearly three times that of 19^. 'If, instead of’the heat and drought of last‘summer, the weather had been •favoralde for corn, enough pop com would have been' productul to glut the psarket, and overproduction such as Ihst of 1923 would have occurred. •' Pop Corn Acreage. Tlie pop corn acreage of the United ^ Stut'-’s is fmly about one-tenth of 1 ■p'r of the total com acreage, tl.c i'.e;mrtn!ent workers, comiiient. Al tliough tlie coi:'ime’.'ci)il gror 'ng of i-iwp cem Is concentrat(«d in certain dlsti-'ct.s to a coiiside.alile extent, of the l)esi land In the heart , ^ ccr; belt is suitable for grow ing p'p corn. It cm le appreciated, t;.. :e.«ie. rli“v say. tliat the acreage of th’--- cron c;,n easily be overexpand ed. 2'1'e nnnsually high prices of a jrar rrrn, together with the relatively I'j’* prices at present, as compared t.' c.I.e" grains, may easily lead to the n-oilnction of too much pop com in 1931 if the sea.mn is favorable. It may !)e well for those who are plan ning to Increase uncontracted acreage, and especially for those planning to grow pop com for the first time, to consider the situation carefully before plunging too deeply, the bureau warns. MT mOOUNG IS NEAlUllESEIilEB Principles Call For Use Of Well Made Concrete And Good Steel. Modem buiifiin'# principles add rat proofing go hand ih hand, says a new r'ar.Tiers’ BuUetin on Proofing Huildings and Prerafses” Just Issued -ijr the United States Department of .tgricnlture. These principles call for the use of well-mude concrete and «teel, and other iiidestractible and noncombustible materials that are too much for even the sharpest of rodent incisors. They include also fire stop ping in double walls Wd floors and the elimination of all dead spaces and dark comers where the rat can hide. The sanitary teaturas provide for hy gienic v storage of food, and the rat cannot live without something to eat. Rat Proof All Buildings. All new buildings should be made rat proof, says the bulletin. Cities in growing numbers have added rat proofing clauses to their building or dinances with such good effect that others are sure to follow their lead. Rullders should therefore compare the •ost of rat proofing during constrac- tion with the probable cost later. In 'flse local laws should require that all bniidings be made rat proof. The cost of rat prooffng, all the con struction on many American farms, , the bulletin says, would amount to less than the loss occasioned by rats on the same farms in a single year. The pamphlet gives details and illustrates methods for rat proofing all kinds of, farm stractnres, fncind'ng barns, corn- cribs, granaries, and poultry houses. It also considers the rat proofing of city buildings, such as warehouses and markets, and suggests city-wide ef forts toward the suppression of the mt pest. ,It includes a model rat- nroo.fing ordinance and an ordinance ••'gulating the collectfrn and disposal 'f garbage, prepared hy the United states public health .service, Parmanent Rit Control. Throughout the hnlletin ft Is empha'- Ised that the removal of the rat's .'nod and shelter offp*^ a practiical' ie."ns of nermanent rat control. “The number of rats on premises and’ the ’xtent of their destructiveness are- "snnlly' in direct .pronortion to- the- ‘■'od nva*i-hle and tr, the shelter af- ''orded.

The authors, W. U. Beattie and C. P. Close, horticulturists of tbe depart ment, stress the value of several per manent crops, especially asparagus, rhubarb, horseradish, raspberries, blackberries, logan blackberries, dew berries, currants, gooseberries, straw berries and grapes, according to lo cality. They say tliat a garden of an nual vegetables alone cannot compare with one containing all of a few of these perennials > Farmers’ Bulletin 1242-F describes the cultural requirements and yields of each of these plants and the num ber of plants of each required to sup ply the needs of an average family.

Seeds which are or beating are dead, Onions frequently acquire unsightly- blemishes and discolorations—^for the most part damaging only the outward! appearance—when exposed to certato chemicals, sunlight, or some fungi, the United States Department of Ag riculture says in Circular 135-C, Blem ishes and Discolorations of Market Onions. “Scorched spot’’ and “bag print” fre quently appear on colored onions that have been in damp storage for 89me time. The names are descriptive of the appearance of these blemishes. The chemicals in some bags print the weave of the bag on the outer surface of the onion, when the bag is moist Ammonia fumes escaping in a storage plant or emanating from manure piled over ground-stored onions as protec tion from freezing otiea discolor on ions. Ammonia turns yellow onions brown, red onions deep greenish-dark or metallic black, and white onions greenish-yellow. Sometimes tee sun scalds exposed onions at harvest. The scalded tissue first becomes slippery, then dry and shrunken, and finally bleached. Sun scald frequently opens the way for destructive bacteria and fungi. Grow ing bulbs may develop sunburn or “greening” on exposed parts, a blem ish which is self-descriptive. The greened portions are usually bitter and unpalatable, but not particularly subject to decay. A fungus growing on Bermuda onions in California produces a dark •‘aoil stain” in the outer scales on the bottom of the onion. It damages the onion only in appearance.
