CATION projects in the West are water
ing lands which will soon produce
sugar beets more proftably, perhaps,
than any other crops and the molasses
| from these crops can readily be turned

lasses," would be another available
source of our commercial alcohol sup
ply. Millions of gallons of this pro-
duced in all the Central and South
American countries and the West In

under the new bill, it will serve as
well as any other alcohol thus manu-
featured for power, heat and light. |
Already in Cuba such alcohol from
this base molasses is being made at
10 cents per gallon. The base mo- |
lasses itself can be had at New York |
at 3 cents a gallon. A similar grade |
of base molasses is turned out as a |
by-product by our beet sugar factories. |
Ten factories of Michigan send their /
produce to a distillery in that state |
and produce from it about half mil |
lion gallons of absolute alcohol But |
this by-product of our beet sugar fac
tories generally goes to waste in other
states. Yet we sit by and bemoan the

Of 81 10 per gallon on commercial al

can be manufactured at less than 10
cents a gallon. At this rate it can sLp-
plant both gasoline and kerosene, than
which it is also safer and much
cleaner. The only opponents Of the
bill were the wood alcohol and Stand
