elnh of Pullman. 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."
