Washington. Aug. 22.--Although

during each of the three years past
has amounted to more than 1000

which began on July /, promises to
exceed even the 100000 record of
the past year.
Reports made to the immigration
bureau show that during July 97.152
immigrants were admitted into this
country. This was an increase of II
per cent. over July, 1906. when the
total number admitted was Si,i05.
and an Increase Of rs per cent. over
July. 1905. when the number admit

While there was a large increase
in the number admitted. agents re-
port that the character of immigrants
was of higher standard.
The immigration from Russia to
this country during July, 1907, was
1921. as compared with 2l,991 in
the same month in 1906. and 16. 400
in 1905. The total immigration for

Relief i'm Potatoes.

The foregoing are some of the diff
forent phases of the question which
have presented themselves for consid-
Grafton to those who have given any
study TO this new industry which IL
destined TO do so much for the Amer
lean people. The real point for the
people of the west to consider is, how
are the western farmers to reap bene-
fl; from Il? The answer is-potatoes.
In early days corn was raised pare
" as an item of food. In the pioneer
days of New England 1t was used in
church decorations on occasions of
celebration. Roger Williams found
the Indians making a pottage which
they called ''samp' from corn. But
science has developed corn until at
the present time there are over thirty
different uses to which II is put. II
Is not only raised for food but the re-
duction of a corn crop in the six corn
growing states of the union will vi
brate a wave of price fluctuations
that will reach all of the civilized ma
tons of the world. ~
Three billion bushels of corn was
raised last year and the money was
paid to SIX states for 1t. Practically

ducts plants of the country today
We're developed after. corn had been
abandoned as a principal food pro-

An acre of potatoes will produce
over twice as much alcohol as an acre
OF corn. Experiments show that an

Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 22.-As the

Farmers and Potato Alcohol.

1 800 pounds of fermentable matter,
As per cent of which will be obtained
as absolute alcohol, $50 pounds or
1870 gallons.
An acre CT ground which will pro-
duce 800 bushels of potatoes will fur
nish 5000 pounds of ferIhentable
matter. This will produce 1890
pounds of absoute alcohol, or about
255 gallons.
But there is another consideration
with regard to the potato as a source
of alcohol. We raise potatoes for
human food and for scarcely any
other purpose. We plant the potato
which has the finest flavor for the
table, without regard to its yield per
acre. Were We raising potatoes for
the purpose OF making alcohol. we
would do different. The variety
which would Weld the most abundant
per acre would be planted. Where
potatoes are used as a cattle food as
they are in Germany, varieties of the
latter kind are resorted to and there
seems to be no obstacle to producing
double the amount of alcohol as from
the present yield. SO that 1t would
be within the bounds of reason to say
that it is possible TO secure 500 gal
Ions of alcohol from an acre of po-
tatoes.
Potatoes, moreover, are CONNER
cial crop only when within a certain
distance from market. At the aver

but when reviewing It as a source of
light. heat, and power, factories
would be encouraged to country

lhol.

Potato Handicap.

Potato hanutcap.
And how many do we raise? Three
hundred million bushels last year.
Not enough to go around some years
and we have to buy a few in Europe.
Ten bushels of corn raised for each
bushel of potatoes. What Is the rea-
son? II would appear that the gen.
eral verdict is that they are an easier
crop to raise than corn. The princi-
pal reason is this: Owing to the great
bulk and perlshable nature of the
crop 1t cannot be transported as ad-
lvantageously. In years of bountiful
Weld net returns to farmers are often
unsatisfactory This is the whole sit
.uation in a nutshell-no home mar
ket.
The western farmer can harvest his
corn in the fall and draw ii to the
cooperative elevator or keep 1t at
home and wait until the price gets
him Interested in selling 1t. But the
man with the potato crop must hustle
it to market and sometimes gets back
a bill from the commission man for
his trouble. market glutted. etc. etc,
and all because there is not now any
other use for them but to boil, bake,
or fry.
1t doesn't sound good at all. They
do things different over in Germany,
where they made 80. 900, oeO gallons
of alcohol last year from potatoes.
This is what Congressman Z. j.
Hill says after visit and an investi-
CATION:
"In Germany alcohol is made al
most wholly from potatoes. The
highest yield per acre was 500
bushels and from that down to 124;
probably fair yield would be around
200 to 22j. The potatoes are grown
by the farmers and manufactured into
alcohol In Individual farm distilleries
and in cooperative distilleries as
well. The aggregate product of the
farm dlstll.eries was about so times
as much as that of the industrial dis
tillerics in Germany. At the begin
ming of each year the syndicate man
ayers fix the price which they will
pay the producers for their product,
This is based, of course. upon the con-
dition of the crop. The price this
year has been fixed at % per cent
less than it was last, indicating a
much larger crop. The product Is
aiken and paid for by the syndicate
as 1t is made by the various farmers.
On all of this alcohol, which is made
denatured or rendered undrinkable,
the government allows special re-
turn of tax previously paid, amount
ing TO about 81 Y cents gallon. Out
Of this amount the expenses of the
syndicate, an allowance for their in

business, and commissions for the

of the season is returned pro rata to
