 Place sugar, syrup and water in a saucepan and stir until the sugar is

 soft ball. Add the butter and cook to 248 degrees when a drop in cold water


 should make a hard ball. Crisp nuts and popcorn in a slow oven. Pour the


 syrup lightly over the corn and nuts, turning the mass with a wooden spoon.

 shape the corn into oblong corn cob forms. Wrap in green waxed paper,


 twirling the paper at the tip end, then fringe fine (with scissors) like
