A good many persons might be disposed to look upon tbe industry of popcorn grow ing as a smalt business. However, there is a lot ot popcorn consumed In these United Slates and somebody has to raise It else the devotees thereof will experience a long felt want. Tb,ee facts were realised a number of years ago by an Iowa man, A. H. Reuber by name, and he set about making a spe cialty of popcorn. He planted twenty-five acres to start with and the result was so satisfactory that he steadily increased ths slse of his crop from year to year. He acquired mote land and planted more pop corn and found no trouble In disposing ot all he could raise at a good price. Some of Mr. Reuber's neighbors observed that he seemed to be making a good thing out of his venture and they set about try ing It on their own account By that time Reuber had established a reputation as a popcorn grower and was receiving more oroers than he could fill, bo he bought the crops of his neighbors as they matured. People kept on geittng Interested In pop corn until tbe Utile town of Ode boll, with a population of only 1,800, claims to be the popcorn center of the woriU. Lsi year 15,000,000 pounds were produced within a radius of fifteen mile of the town and more ot It Is being grown every year. Rau. bar Is popcorn king and Odebolt Is bead quarters for popcorn. Tbe average profit of the crop Is said to be about 200 to. the acre, though there are Instances of larger profits being made. One farmer near Odebolt received $3,780 for the output of forty acres and others have done approximately as well. In the meantime Mr. Reuber is handling vast quantities of the grain and Is encouraging all his farmer friends to raise more of It as the demand is constantly increasing. Popcorn has now been introduced In Europe and tbe people over there like it Foreign orders are piling up at Odebolt and if the excitement keeps up the whole state of Iowa is likely to cetch the infection and go to raising pop corn for the croaned heads, and for ths crownless ones at home as well. The farmer who adopts a specialty and devotes thought and energy to it is a level headed" man and will more than likely reap the reward of his efforts. There Is more money in a field ot popcorn well tended than in a large volume and variety of products which must needs suffer at times for lack of proper cultivation. To onp who would make farming a life vocation there is a good deal In the career of Iowa's pop corn king that may be profitably studied and emulated.- Louisville Courier-Journal.
