t POP(X>RN THAT
THESE are crisp, crackling
days when the sound of corn
popping Is a sure sign of the
season and pleasant to our ears.
But it is not so pleasant if some
of the kernels decline to pop, and
emit only a dejected fizz. That
means that there was too much
water in them, and that you will
find hard, unpopped kernels or
“old maids” in your popper that
will have to be sorted out.
That is the reason why you
should always get your popcorn in
cans. Put up in that fashion, it is
first shelled and then dried to the
point where it contains exactly
enough water to turn into steam,
when heated, and promptly turn
each kernel inside out with a re
sonant pop. Having taken this
precaution, you can make all sorts
of goodies with it to pop into your
mouth without fear of hard un
popped kernels, or to hang on
your Christmas tree to which the
snowy flakes form a most decora
tive addition.
So here are some recipes guar
anteed to be successful if you use
the proper kind of popcorn:
Fruit Popcorn Balls
Lemon Popcorn Balia: To make
these you will need two and a half
quarts of popped corn, or about
half the contents of a 10-ounce
ran Put the corn in a large pan
so there will be plenty of room
to stir it while pouring over the
syrup.' Boil one cup sugar, one
half cup canned light corn syrnp
and one-half cup water to 260 de
grees or a hard ball. Add one
a tablespoon butter, one teaspoon

Pea Roast and Cutlets
SOUNDS peculiar, doesn’t it, to
write about a pea roast and
pea cutlets, just as if peas
could be cut up like a meat ani
mal. You’ll find that the recipes
we mean are not peculiar, but
peculiarly good, though we’ll have
to admit that the first one is just
a trifle nutty. It is
Pea and Walnut Roast: Mix
lightly together one and one-half
cups pea pulp, one cup soft bread
crumbs, one-half cup chopped wal
nuts, one-fourth cup butter, two
thirds cup canned tomato soup,
one beaten egg, salt, pepper and
onion juice. Put into a buttered
baking dish or loaf pan, and bake
in a moderate oven, 350 degrees,
vinegar, one teaspoon lemon ex
tract and a few grains of salt, and
pour over the corn, mixing well.
Butter hands and then fdrm the
corn into balls, using as little pres
sure as possible, to prevent crush
ing the corn and making balls
hard and compact This makes
about sixteen medium balls.
Honey-Raisin Popcorn Balia: To
make these you will need three
quarts of popped corn, or three
quarters of the contents of a 10-
ounce can. Wash one cup of
raisins, and steam them for
ten minutes. Combine three
fourths cup canned honey and one
and one-fourth cups canned light
corn syrup, and boil to 250 de
grees, or a medium hard ball. Add
one tablespoon butter, one tea
spoon vinegar, one-half teaspoon
salt and the raisins, pour over the
corn and mix well. Butter hands
and form into small balls, using
as little pressure as possible. This
will make about twenty-four med
ium sized balls.
Molasses Mixtures
Molasses Popcorn Balls: TO
make these you need three quarto
of popped corn, or three-fourths
of the contents of a 10-ounce can.
Boil one cup canned molasses and
one cup canned corn syrup to 250
degrees, or a medium hard ball.
Add one tablespoon vinegar, three
tablespoons butter and a few
grains of salt, and continue boil
ing to 260 degrees, or a hard ball.
Add one-half teaspoon lemon ex
tract, and pour over corn.' Butter
hands and form into balls, using
as little pressure as possible. This
for from thirty to forty-five min
utes, or until set and brown.
Serve with hot canned tomato
soup, undiluted. This serves eight.
These Cutlets Are Cute
Tomato and Pea Cutlets: Conv
bine one cup drained canned peas,
one-half cup very thick white
sauce and two slightly-beaten egg
yolks. Drop by spoonfuls into hot,
buttered skillet and fry brown,
turning over once. Dip eight
slices ripe tomato in flour, and
sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Sautd in the fat in which the cut
lets cooked. Serve a cutlet on
each slice of tomato. This recipe
serves eight.*
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
makes from sixteen to eighteen
medium sized balls.
Popcorn Brittle: To make thla
you need one and a half quarts of
popped corn, or one-third of a 10-
ounce can. Boil one cup brown
sugar, one-half cup canned mo
lasses and one-fourth cup water
to 270 degrees, or a hard ball.
Add one-half tablespoon vinegar,
one tablespoon butter and one
fourth teaspoon salt. Also add
two cups shelled peanuts which
have been browned in the oven.
Pour over the corn and mix well,
then press into small oblong pans
about three by five or four by five
inches. Press very lightly so as
not to break the corn. This makes
from six to ten cakes, depending
on the size of the pans.
And Here’s a Surprise
Popcorn Surprise Balls: Com
bine two cups sugar, two table
spoons light corn syrup and one
cup water in a sauce pan and mix
well. Wipe down sides with a
wet cloth, and cook without stir
ring to 240 degrees, or a soft ball.
Pour out, without scraping down
side of pan, onto a cold, wet slab
or platter, and cool to lukewarm.
Then beat with spatula, from
edges to center, until creamy.
Flavor and color this fondant as
desired, and then knead with
hands until smooth and creamy.
Cover with damp cloth for half an
hour. Form into balls and roll in
popcorn, covering completely.
Press corn very lightly into the
fondant in order not to break the
kernels.*
GOD’S PROMISE
God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God had promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer,
Light on the way;
Grace for the trial,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

SOUTH IS LEADING
NATION’S RECOVERY
The South is leading the Nation’s
drive toward recovery, according to
dispatches and editorials appearing
in the metropolitan newspapers
throughout the country. General
improvement in conditions and a
much happier feeling about the im
mediate future are reported by all
who travel through the cotton belt.
That there is ample basis for this
optimism is shown in the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture’s report, re
cently issued, that 1933 crop values
are up 42 per cent. The farm value
of the 1933 cotton crop was nearly
$620,000,000 compared with less
than $375,000,000 in 1932.
In planning for 1934, people aro
deeply impressed by these visible
evidences of the establishment of a
new economic order. Their response
has been prompt and generous, as
revealed by reports of a widespread
trend back to normal buying hahits,
especially among farmers. Compell
ed by the adverse conditions of re
cent years to buy sparingly, at the
cheapest price, and without regard
to quality, farmers are being great
ly encouraged to find that in many
lines, quality merchandise is offer
ed at prices well within their ability
to pay. An example is to be found
in the case of Chilean natural nitra-
te, a fertilizer of south-wide impor
tance which has been used in the
United States for more than 10(1
years. In this case, farmers can
satisfy their preference for a high
standard of balanced quality with
out paying anything extra for it,
even though the presence of a num
ber of valuable impurities in the
natural nitrate gives it a position of
distinguished usefulness among thn
rather large number of other ma
terials, not of natural orgin.
The real significance of this and
smilar instances of improved condi
tions in our agricultural sections is
to be fully appreciated only by those
who know how complete has been the
change in the farmers’ frame of
mind during the past years. He is
beginning again to think in terms of
the future, a future that holds for
him the promise of constructive and
profitable enterprise in partnership
with Mother Nature.
Watson’s Springs Property
Given State University
Watson Springs, located about
half way between Athens and
Greensboro, together with 600 acres
of land, has been given the Univer
sity of Georgia by Col. J. D. Wat
son, the owner. The University au
thorites have announced that the
property will be used as a research
station for animal husbandry and
forestry.
Colonel Watson is a retired army
officer, having enlisted in the Unit
ed States Army about two years
prior to the engagement of hostili
ties with Spain in 1898. He im
mediately entered service in the
Spanish-American war where he
made a record that entitled him to
promotion that lead up to the rank
of Colonel. In that office he re
mained until a few years ago when
he was retired by the War Depart
ment. Following his retirement, he
returned to his native state and near
his native city, where he purchased
a large tract of land in Greene coun
ty. In this tract was included the
famous Watson Springs property.
For a time he operated the hotel at
springs until the building was de
stroyed by fire some year ago.
