Converting Natural Gas Into Alcohol.

A method of converting natural
gas into alcoholis announced by
DR.. Blackmore, a process OF
converting natural gas, which
contains on ar average 90 per
cent methane, into alcohol by the
action of limited portions of oXy-
gen or air in the presence of a
heat absorbing fluid, such as
steam, which prevents complete
combustion and maintains the
temperature below the decompo-
sing point of alcohol, the oxida-
ton being induced and maintain
ed by passing the gaseous niger
dents through an electrically
heated gauze. If the combustion
is properly regulated and con-
trolled, 5000 feet of natural GAS
will produce approximately fifty
gallons of alcohol, and as natural
gas can be readily obtained in
unlimited quantities at 5 to 10
cents a thousand feet, it follows
that the cost of fifty gallons Of
alcohol produced in this manner
would be only 25 to 80 cents for
raw material.

NATIONAL GINNERS ASST'N.
THROUGH ITS PRESIDENT
Issues a Strong and SenSi-
BILE Appeal to the Farmers
of the South

thrown away.
Which do you prefer? To plant
your present acreage and get z
to 8 cents per pound or reduce
it and get II to II cents and pos
sibly higher. The present con-
templated acreage and good
weather means a return to the
old days of cheap cotton of ten
years ago while a reduced acre
age means a continuance of the
prosperity of the past few years.
Let every planter that reads
this at once make up his mind
that he will not be the cause of
Wall Street Bears fixing the
price for your crop as they will
do with a large crop. Go to work
at once to reduce your own acre
age and see as many of your nei-
ghbors as possible at once and
get a united action in this mat
ter as this is the only way we
can be Independent and prospe-
rous.
| urge every merchant and
banker throughout the South to
advise their customers TO reduce
their acreage as it means loss
to you as we'll as to the planters
to return to the old days Of low
prices again. 1t will pay You to
write circular letter and send
it to every planter you have deal
ings with urging a reduction in
acreage. Don't delay but get
busy as there is no time to lose.
! We must have a reduction in
acreage to save the South. 1t is
as much your duty as mine TO
help in this work. 1 get nothing
for it.
/ again urge the members Of
the Farmers Union and South
ern Cotton Association to work
together for a reduction in acre
age which means much higher
prices for the balance Of this crop
and all Of the next one, as well
as an influence on future crops.
| want to hear from every sec
ton of the belt as to what you
are doing in the matter. Write
me and ! will give you all the
assistance / can. Don't delay
but get busy now.
