It was necessary to have an even depth of corn on the top compared to the sides, so the air would not take the easiest route and not evenly dry the stored corn.

We got to know the competition very well. In the '50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.

Every once in a while, someone will mail me a single popcorn kernel that didn't pop. I'll get out a fresh kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

The cobs were delivered to a big pile. We were one of the first to feed corn cobs to cattle.

We dried continuously day and night. We had no efficient way to do it, so we built this new popcorn plant.

I opened an office in Terre Haute, established eight of them, and became one of the eight county agents.

The shelves of many evangelicals are full of books that point out the flaws in evolution, discuss it only as a theory, and almost imply that there's a conspiracy here to avoid the fact that evolution is actually flawed.
