IT IS reported that the new pro-
cess of making sugar from sorghum
by the use of alcohol, recently recon-
mended by Secretary Rusk, has
been put into very successful opera
ton at Hanover, Indiana, by a num-
Der of the leading cane grow ers and
bids fair to entirely supercede the
old method. The process consists
in mixing a certain proportion of
alcohol with the syrup, and it pro-
duces a sugar nearly pure white,
testing over 80 degrees. 1t is also
asserted that the alcohol process
yields an average of 200 pounds of
sugar to the ton of cane, an amount
double that obtained by the old pro
cess.
