Wash., is now per fecting arrangements f r the installa tion of a denatured alcohol plant in that city. President Bryan, of the Washington folate college, who is chair man of the committee on denatured al cohol, is conducting the negotiations for the purchase of a large "still," and if the p ans of the organization are car ried out, the plant wil) be in operation by the time next season's p tato crop is taken from the field. Iicuseing the prospects for denstured alcohol, Presi dent Bryan said: "For the piat year the state experi ment station has had In hand the mat of gathering Information relative to the practicability of utilizing this im portant crop in the manufacture of de natured alcohol. Careful analyses have heen made to determine the amount of slcohol that potatoes of this region will vleld. We have lound that one Hun dred ponnds of potatoes will produce eighteen pounds of starch; that eigh teen noumls of starch will produce nine pounds of alcohol, which, I believe, sells at from 60 to 65 cents per gallon. At this rate, the alcohol from one ton of potatoes would sell for abont I8. "Alcohol ran be made from the small potatoes as well as the large ones, and in this fact lies a source of considerable savins to th. farmers. Also, waste fruit can be need, snd considerable suo cf ss has been reported from the nse of corn, and even th. stalks. This dena tured alcohol Industry shonld be tsken seriously by the farmers and business men of the Northwest; for it mans the utilization in a profitable way of a vast amount of produce, such as small pota toes, off grade wheat, waste fruits, etc., which ar. now simply a source of dead loss."
