On June 7, 19)6, congress ^passed a
law removing tbe internal revenue tax
of $2 07 per ga lun on grain alcohol
which had been properly denatured or
rendered unfit ior drinking purposes
by the addition of certain materials,
such as wood alcohol, benzine or py
ridine. It was hoped that by the re
moval of this tax alcohol could be ob
tained cheaply enough to compete
with petroleum for light and fuel. The
demand for such 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
that the increased demand for it, due
to the development of the modern ex
plosion motor, has doubled its price
in the last ten 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 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.-
000,01)0,000 gallons, three-fourths o<
which arc probably used by the far
mers. Since one gallon of alcohol i»
equivalent to two gallons of kerosen«
for lighting purposes, .'»75,000.000 gal
lons of alcohol could be used on tht
farms of this country each year. This
would require for its production 140.-
000,000 bushels of corn, or 5,000,000
acres, an increase of 5 per cent over
that now grown. If made from pota
toes, this 375,000,000 gallons of alcohol
would require 450,000.000 bushels, or
5,000,000 acres, an increase of 60_per
cent over that now produced, The
consumption
of
alcohol
present
amounts to but 16,000,000 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.
Since
starch is readily convertible into su
gar by either natural or artificial
means, materials which contain nota
ble quantities of either starch or su
gar may be utilized for making alco
hol. The more important sources of
alcohol are the cereals, potatoes, mo
lasses and fruits. In France alcohol
is chiefly made from the sugar beet, in
Germany from the potato, and in
America from corn. A bushel of corn
will yield approximately 2i gallons oi
95 per cent alcohcl; a bushel of pota
toes three-fourths of a gallon and a
bushel of apples one-third of a gallon
In the large distilleries it cost*
about 17 cents t? manufacture and
place on the markrt one gallon of al
cohol. and the cost of the raw material
used brings this o'dinarily to approx
imately 30 centti. Allowing for the
necessary profit, i’r.ohol will reach tbe
consumer at about ID cents per gallon
But alcohol at 40 cents can compete
with kerosene at it cents 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 neighbor
hood of $10,000. No such plant can
operate successfully on waste pro
ducts alone, especially if such are to
be obtained for only a brief part of
the year, as, for example, waste fruits.
There must be some more staple pro
duct as a basis, with the waste ma
terials handled as a side issue. For a
staple in the Northwest we mart look
to potatoes or sugar beets, and dam
aged grain when it can be scented, on
which materials, together with various
waste products, a plant could- be op
erated throughout the year.
Because of the persistent ir.quiries
relative to the merits and dtmrrits oi
the wheat known locally as “Alaska,’’
the Idaho experiment stition has
given the wheat a milling t'ist and
subjected the flour so obtained tJ
chemical examination and baking
tests. The results of these tests, to
gether with such other information
concerning the wheat as could. be
gathered from reliable sources, have
'just been published in bulletin form.
The wheat is apparently of the same
variety that is known in southern Eu
rope as Poulard, or Egyptian. It is
used there for making 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 this year perhaps no better
than ordinary winter wh4at. 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 are easily broken, however, and
care must be exercised in threshing to
prevent this.
The results of the milling tests
«how that no particular difficulty is
met with in grinding the wheat. The
flour secured is described as sharp
and 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. Tn 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
pronounced good. In size the loaves
were inferior to those baked from
Turkey red, but compared very favor
shiv in this respect with those baked
from little club flour. The bulletin
mav be serurrd by addressing the Ex-
n’riment Station, Moscow.
