The different kind9 )f corn contain oil in varying projortions. In popcorn there is a :onsiderable amount. This expands vhen heated, becomes explosive and sauses the kernels to pop open. In :ommon corn the percentage of oil s small, and for this reason it only :racks, without exploding, when leated, says Good Housekeeping. Popcorn is inexpensive and nutri;ious as well if not used to overinlulgence. fpiant WoocFsT / Garden Seeds \l FOR SUPERIOR VEGE TABLES A FLOWERS.
