WEALTH MAY COME
FROM FARM BYPRODUCT
u. S. Government VIII Discover if AL
cohol Can Be Made from Cornstalks
at Fair Profit. -.

Special to The Journal. .s-.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, Aug. 1S.-Arrange-
ments have been made by which the
United States government will try the
experiment Of manufacturing denatur-
lied alcohol at Hoopeston, ILL.,, during
the present canning season for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining if it can be manu-
featured from the waste corn, the cobs
and stalks Of sweet corn at the factory
of the Illinois Canning company cheap
ly enough to make it pay commercially.
The company has rendered to the ag-
ricultural department Of the govern
ment everything necessary to carry on
the experiments free of charge and will
supply all Of the necessary materials as
we'll as machinery for the tests. The
experiments will be carried on under
the direction Of DR.. H. W. Wylie. - :
Previous experiments carried on by
the government show that a ton Of
cornstalks will produce almost thirty
gallons Of proof spirit. In other words,
there was allowed to go to waste in the
last corn crop of Iowa over million
| gallons Of alcohol. tz
The stalk Of the sweet corn contains
| more sugar2than that Of the field corn.
| IF the stalk be utilized for making al
| cohol it would have to be at the time
| the grains are hard and usually before
the advent of frost. It might be pos
sible to devise some method Of drying
! the cornstalks or preserve them in
silos, looking to- the subsequent utiliza-
ton Of the product for the manufacture

NHE last week Of the engagement

of Signor A. Liberatl' g band
and concert company begins at
the Lake Harriet roof garden this
afternoon. Thru the excellence OF the
programs he has presented and the
wealth of musical talent he has en-
ploved, Liberati has not only renewed
the allegiance Of the local public to
him, bnt has established a standard
for music in local summer parks.
During the final week Of his engage
ment, the veteran bandmaster and cor
net virtuoso will make still greater eff
forts toward the permanent ,popularlz-
ing of Lake Harriet. For the greater
afternoon and evening will be com
posed largely of the lighter music for
which summer park patrons have such
a great liking, but on Friday night he
will give, for the second and last time,
a complete Wagner program, during
which he will attempt to demonstrate
that while some bands can play the
best music in the world as good as can
his band, none can play it better.
there will appear Chevalier A. L.
Guile, former supporting tenor with
Patti and one of the greatest little
tenors ever heard in local park; Miss
Katherine Klarer, whose clear and
powerful soprano has so splendid1y
stood the test of singing on the Har-
riet roof; Miss Elfriede Wegner, con-
tralto; Signor D. Pezzetti, tenor, and
Eignor D. G.. de Luchi, BARITONE, whose
solos and ensemble numbers have gone
long way toward completing the at
Effectiveness of the Liberati concerts.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
afternoons, souvenirs Of Liberati in the
form Of piano arrangement of some of
his great marches will be given to each
lady present, and there will be several
feature nights during the week with the
probability that on Thursday night sew
-era1 local composers will have the priv
iilege of conducting the band thru their
own compositions.
The feature Of the band selections
;this afternoon will be the Hungarian
Rhapsodie, No. ~ and Farmhouse 8
big religious overture, "Joy to the
iWorld.' Among the special numbers
will be clarinet solo by Signor A.
Chiaffarelli, soprano solo by Miss
