FARMERS NOT MAKING ALCOHOL

The promoters Of the free alcohol law
are nursing grievous disappointment.
A year ago it was said that all farmers
would be able to set up stills in the
back yard and manufacture substitute
for kerosene, gasoline, naphtha and
electricity at a low cost that would put
these powers out of existence. The
farmers wers all to get rich in a short
time, and heat, light and power trusts
were to be annihilated. But these
things have not happened yet. The
commissioner of internal revenue, in his
annual report just issued, shows that
since the passage of the bill just ten
stills have been set up for the denatur-
ing Of alcohol, and the cost of the pro-
duct has been far greater than was
promised. Only the dim outlines re-
main of the roseate. picture painted by
the enthusiasts who demanded the pass
age Of the bill. In the farmyards where
there we're to be established stills for
the utilization of potato parings and
other refuse as raw material for the
manufacture of industrial alcohol, pigs
are growing fat on this refuse. Farm
ers have received from the treasury de-
partment pamphlets telling them how to
proceed to the manufacture of the spir.
Its, but thus far the refuse turned into
livestock has appeared to offer the best
returns. Alcohol is still made of grain
and wood, and the cost has not materi.
ally decreased.
But there is no use being discouraged
The time isn't ripe; that's all. There
has got to be campaign of education
among the farmers and demands for the
alcohol. Farmers are not going to make
alcohol and store it on prospect. Lei
| there once be demonstrations and
market, and there will be plenty Of
stills. In Germany, where the alcohol
industry has assumed proportions, the
government not only offers inducements
to growers Of potatoes from which the
alcohol is manufactured, but imposes ar
import duty on petroleum and petroleum
products. Under this system there are
some 10000 farm distilleries in Germany
producing industrial alcohol, and the
alcohol so produced is sold to consum
ers at about u cents per gallon. But il
took time and patience to bring this
about. There is no reason why the ex
perience of Germany may not be dupli
Gated in this country.
