THE NEW ANTITRUST FUEL
Technical World,


The present tax on denaturized alco-
hol which has been abolished by good
sense of congress, has been in force
since 1861 AS showing how it has
crippled American industry, previous to
1861 more than 30,000,000 gallons of
alcohol was annually used in the United
States for manufacturing purposes.
Under the varying rates Of taxation in
force since that time, the quality Of
ures has steadily declined, until at the
present time the total consumption for
these purposes is estimated by compe-
tent authorities to be less than 5,000,-
With percapita consumption equal
to that Of 1860, we should now be using
for industrial purposes S0,000,000 gall
Ions annually or sixteen times as much
as is actually consumed. In view Of
the fact that the percapita consuming
power Of the public is now much
greater than in 1860, and that the num-
Der of articles in the manufacture of
which alcohol would be used if it were
not for its high price has been greatly
increased in recent years, it is evident
that the annual consumption Of alcohol
for industrial purposes would be much
more than $4,000, 900 gallons.
This fact is amply verified by the ex.
tent to which spirits are used in the
arts and industries in Europe. Ger
many alone requires over 10000, 900
gallons yearly in its industries, while
France makes over 10O,00O,000 gallons
not only from potatoes, beets and grain,
but even from sawdust, for a French
savant has been successfully extracting
500 pounds of sugar and reducing il to
twenty-five gallons of pure alcohol.
from ton of ordinary sawdust. Con.
sequently we can draw power not onIv
from the plants of the field but eve,
from the trees of the forest.

THE MACARONI WHEAT
DULUTH COMMERCIAL RECORD
SEES $4,000, 900 BUSHELS IN PROS.
PECT THIS YEAR,

The durum wheat crop Of 1905 was estimated
by the Duluth CoAmercial Record at $1,000, 900
to 2o.OOO.oOO bu, the difficulty of making a
closer guess than that being due to the large
increase In area in sections that raised none or
almost none the year before. That same diri-
Guilty. says the Record, exists this year, some
stations reporting increase Of 500 to LOCO per
cent but on investigation it is found that they
had almost no area last year, shipping but one
or two cars during the season. :,
In some sections of the west, important sec.
tions also. there Is an absolute decrease this
year, this being true of large part OF the
North Dakota area west and north of Devils
Lake. However, there is every reason now for
believing that the durum area Of 1905 will
show an increase Of IS to so per cent over that
OF 1908, or about 100000 acres compared with
9OO,OOO acres In round figures in 1905.
me crop OF 1905 appears to have been about
$500, 900 bu detailed as follows:
