recommended soaking the com

Ben Franklin Among the First
To Recognize Future of Corn
Ben Franklin, a man of rare Cook Book”, listing the many
foresight in science, govern-
ment, diplomacy and philoso-
phy, was among the first to
predict trends in future Amer-
ican agriculture.
One of his predictions ac-
curately forecasted more than
two centuries ago the role that
corn would play as a major
crop.

How does the busy woman
manage to serve homemade
breads and cookies? She bakes
when she has the time and
freezes the goodies for use at
busy times.
This dark golden quick
bread freezes particularly well.
There are two unusual- ingredi-
ents: finely rolled NABISCO
Shredded Wheat biscuits add
crunchy texture and coarse-cut
orange marmalade adds tangy
orange flavor.
To freeze, cool loaf and wrap
in aluminum foil. Unwrap and
let thaw at room temperature
before serving.
ways it “affords a wholesome
and pleasing nourishment to
men and animals.”
Among his recipes was that
for a unique American deli-
cacy — roast com on the cob.
“First, the family can begin
to make use of it before the
time of full harvest, for the
tender green ears, stripped of
their leaves, and roasted by a
quick fire till the grain is
brown, and eaten with a little
salt and butter, are a deli-
cacy.”
He also told of boiling the
ears in their leaves and eating
them with butter. Another of
his recipes was grinding the
ripe kernels in a mortar, boil-
ing until getting a white soft
pulp and eating with milk or
butter and sugar.
Franklin explained how
com could be parched — pos-
sibly the forerunner of making
popcorn.
“An iron pot is nearly filled
with sand, and set on the fire
till the sand is very hot. Two
or three pounds of the grain
are thrown in and mixed well
with the sand by stirring.
Each grain bursts and throws
out a white substance of twice
its bigness. The sand is sepa-
rated by a wire sieve, to be
heated again, and the opera-
com would permanently^ tion repeated with fresh grain.

farmers arriving in the Col-

hands at raising wheat or
other crops they were more
accustomed to growing.
“When they first arrive,
these farmers despise and ne-

corn,” he explained. “But ob-
serving the advantage it af-
fords their neighbors, the old-
er inhabitants, they by de-
grees get more and more into
the practice of raising it.”
