Sugar From Pumpkins.

AMES. Iowa, Oct. 15.-Sugar from
pumpkins is the next source of wealth
which will be developed in Iowa. 1t
is little remarkable than tina
alcohol should be made from corn
cobs, and a number of authorities at
the agricultural college here declare
the pumpkin to be one of the coming
products from which high.grade sugar
will be made by a process even more
simple than that required to extract
sugar from beets.
Already the work of breeding pump
kins to raise their sugar contents has
been started by the experiment station.
Two years. work has produced pump
kins which show the sugar contents
will exceed 1 per cent. 1t is the belief
OF Prof. A. S. Beach of the horticul-
tural department that in three years
the sugar contents will be more than
II per cent. This is equal to the sugar
contents of the best varieties of sugar
