the Department Of Agriculture for in
formation on this question. COUPLED with
! the complete absence Of accurate and

port.
The bulletin states that in Europe
during the last ten years the high price
Of tho petroleum oils used as fuel in

Der Of engines especially designed for
this fuel Recently in this country a
widespread interest has developed In
the possibilities of alcohol as a fuel.
Tie matter is important to the agri-
cultural interests Of the country both
because alcohol is manufactured from
various products Of the soil and because
the use of small liquid fuel engines is
very common among agriculturists.
