On June 7, 1(D0, congress passed a law removing the internal revenue tax of $2.07 per i;4 Ion on grain alcohol which had been properly denatured or repdered unfit lor drinking purposes by the addition of certain materials, such as wood r.lcohol, benzine or py ridine. It wan hoped that by the re moval of this la: alcohol could, be ob laincd cheaply enough to compete with petroleum for light and fuel. The demand for such alcohol can be read ily seen when we note lli.it approxi mately 3,000,000 gallons of gasoline arc consumed daily in the country and that the increased demand for it, due to the development of the modern ex plosion motor, lias doubled its price in the last ten years. Indiana and Ohin. nils contain onlv about 5 DCf cent of gasoline and the per cent of the lighter distillate in California and Texas crude oil is very low. The supply of gasoline therefore seems to be limited, but the demand increasing. Alcohol, it has been demonstrated can meet this demand. Furthermore the annual consumption of kerosene in the United States approximates 1 000,000,000 gallons, three-fourths o' which arc probably used by the far mers. Since one gallon of alcohol i equivalent to two gallons ot kerosene for lighting purposes, ;j7G,uuu.yuu gat Ions of alcohol could be used on tht farms of this country each year. This would rcciuirc lor its production no, 000,000 bushels of corn, or 5,000,000 acres", an increase of 5 per cent over that now grown, it made trom pota toes, this 375 000.000 callons of alcoho would rcauire 450.000.000 bushels, or 5,000,000 acres, an increase of CO per cent over that now produced, ltie orescnt consumption of alcono amounts to but 10,000,000 gallons per year. ' Ethyl or grain alcohol is a natural product, formed by the fermentation of various kinds of sugar through the agency of yeast organisms. Sicc starch is readily convertible into su gar by either natural or artificia means, materials which contain nota blc Quantities of cither starch or su gar may be utilized' for making alco hol. The more important sources of alcohol arc the cereals, potatoes, mo lasses and fruits. In France alcohol is chieJly made from the sugar beet, in Germany from the potato, and in America from corn. A bushel of corn will yield approximately 2 gallons oi 05 ner cent alcohel: a bushel of pota toes three-fourths, of a gallon and a bushel of apples cnc-tlnrd of a gallon In the large distilleries it costs about 17 cciits manufacture anr1 nlace on the maihst one gallon of al cohol. and the cost of the raw material used brings this o-dtnarily to approx imatcly 30 cent!!. Allowing for the necessary profit, alcohol will reach the consumer at about 10 cents per gallon. But alcohol at 10 cents can compete with kerosene at '. rents for lighting purposes, since alcohol has twice the illuminating value of kerosene, and in competition kerosene can never de mand more than one-half the market price of alcohol. For making cheap alcohol a cheap concentrated raw product and a well equipped plant are necessary. The plant should have a capacity of at least 100 gallons per day, the ccst of such a plant being in the neignhor hood of $10,000. No such plant can operate successfully on waste pro ducts alone, especially if such sre to be obtained for only a brief part ol the year, as, for example, waste fruits. 1 here must be some more stapl: pro duct as a bisis. with the wast; ma terials handled as a side issue, ror a stanle in the Northwest we must look to potatoes or sugar beets, and dam aged grain when it can be seemed, on which materials, together with various waste products, a plant could be op- crated throughout tne year. Because of the persistcnl inquiries relative to the merits and d:m:rits oi the wheat known locally as "Alaska, ' the Idaho experiment st ttion ha given the wheat a milling t':st and subjected the flour so obtained tit chemical examination and baking tests, ihc results of these tests, to gethcr with such other information concerning the wheat as could be gathered from reliable sources, have just been published m bulletin form. The wheat is apparently of the same variety that is known in southern Jut rope as Poulard, or Egyptian. It U .. 1 l, f i ; , uM-u mere: lur imukuik macaroni and other pastes, and the flour made from it is said to be in demand by certain French markets. Under field conditions the wheat has not made any phenomenal yields. averaging tins year perhaps no better than ordinary winter wheat. The ker nels are large and plump and compare favorably in appearance with much cf the wheat that is raised in northern Idaho; because of their size and shape they arc easily broken, however, and care must be exercised in threshing to prevent this. The results of the milling tests. mow Hint no particular difficulty is met with in grinding the wheat, The flour secured is described as sharp jnd granular, and is capable of mak ing an excellent quality of .biscuits, muffins, cakes, etc. When made into light bread, color, flavor, texture and size of loaf were noted. In color the bread was darker than that baked from. Turkey red, but decidedly lighter than that baked from little club flour. Flavor and texture were nronounccd good. In size the loaves vcre inferior to those baked from Turkey red, but compared very favor b'v in this resncct with those baked rom little 'club flour.
