"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

"Indian corn, or maize, the Nation's most abundant cereal, is palatable and nutritious. It was once the main dependence of the people and has always been a favorite food. In the hands of skillful cooks, many recipes for preparing it acceptably have been devised and this has increased its use. Cereals as a class, and particularly in the simpler forms, such as flours and meals, are comparatively low-priced foods; in fact, the most economical of the safe and satisfying ways of rationing a family is to use cereal dishes as freely as possible without making the diet one-sided. But if cereals are to be used in this way there must be variety both in the kinds chosen and the ways of preparing them. This bulletin points out some of the special qualities of corn meal and tells how to use it in a variety of ways."--Page 2
