Shipping Popcorn to Spencer
Matt Hentges, Mr. Lindgren, Mr. Anderegg, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Fisher and
several other parties were busy during the past week shipping popcorn to
Spencer. We understand that Mr. Hentges raised thirty acres and Mr. Lindgren
seventy acres. It will bring them from $45 to $50 per acre. The Spencer
gentleman who is buying it grades it and sends it to eatern markets. The
Japanese corn is used. It pops easily as soon as it is dried. The better
grades, when sorted, are sold for seed and the poorer grades are converted
into face powders for ladies. The growing of popcorn has become quite a
profitable industry.
