PC'UL TRY MARKETING NEELS ChANGE
The ’Washington State Far’.". Bureau’s poultry
commodity group is recommending more-dir
ect channeling of poultry products from
producer to consumer to draw attention to
the rrices the poultrynen receive and the
nrices the buyers must nay. There has
been too much misrepresentation of grades
and too much difference in prices. There_
is too much up-grading, and it confuses,
the poultry market trade.
The noultrymen need more accurate renorts
on the noultry market prices, improved
and up-to-date facilities for handling,
and removal of consumer- suspicions about
the grades through a more honest .radir.g
and nricing system.

WHY IT POPS,
< , ... i
’Thy does nop corn pop'"1 This has been ex
plained by "Tashingt"on State College horti
culturist, C. L, Vincent.
r
The seed is covered with a horny shin in
which the starch grains are imbedded. As
the corn heats the moisture in the corn
generates sterna which is confined within
the kernel because it cannot escape through
the tough skin. ’Then the-nressure becomes
fpreat enough, it exrlode’s, causing the ker
nel to turn inside out very suddenly.
Sweet corn and field varieties will not pop
as they are'softer types of com which per
mit the ctedn to {x nclu al ly escape. As-the
steam escapes no pressure can build up,
thus no pop.;
