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

I moved to Princeton, Indiana, and became a professional Farm Manager for that Princeton Farms.

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.

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.

It proved easier to buy the farm to get the mineral rights than to buy the coal rights alone.

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

In the Depression we had to divert corn acreage.
