The demand for mich alcohol can be read ily seen when 'we note that approxi mately 3,000,000 gallons of gasoline 'are consumed daily In the country and tha the Increased demand for It. due to the development of the modern ex plosion motor, has doubled Its price In the last 10 years. Indiana and Ohio oils contain only about 5 per cent of gasoline and the per cent of the lighter distillate in California and Texas crude oil I very low. The supply of gaso line therefor seems to be limited but the demand Increasing. Alcohol, It tie been demonstrated, can meet thl rfomonH . Furthermore, the ''annual consumption of kerosene In the Vnlt ,1 Kintoa amiroxlmates one billion .gallons, three-fourths of which are probably used by the farmer. Since one gallon of alcohol I equivalent to two gallon of kerosene for lighting purposes, $ 'S million gallon of alco . ho could be -used- on the. farm of this country each year.

Plnce rtarch I readily convertible Into wgar by either natural or artlficinl means, materials which contain notnblu quan tities of either Hturch or Hiigar may be tillltzed for making alcohol. The more Important sources of alcohol are the cereals, potatoes, moluses and fruits. In France ajcohol Is chiefly made fvom the augur beet, In (l. rmuny from the potato and In America from corn. A bushel of corn will yield ap proximately 2 gallons of 93 per cent alcohol; a bushel of potatoes three fourths of a gallon and u fouxhel of ap ple one-third of a gnllon. The yield depends directly upon the augur and tarch content of the material used arid. in general sugar will yield one half Its weight of alcohol. In the large distilleries It cost l.,.ni 17 cents to manufacture and place on the market-one gallon of al cohol and the cost of the raw material used brings this ordinarily to approx imately 30 cents. Allowing for the Ttr-cvvary profit, alcohol will reach the consumer at about 40c per gallon. But alcohol at 40 cents can compete with kerosene at 2" cents for lighting pur poses and In competition kerosene can never demand more than one-half the market price of alcohol.
