TAFT DEFINES WHISKY.
Decides Rectified, Redistiiled or Blend
ed Products May Use Name.

Washington, Dec. 2S.--President Taft
after reading volumlnous testimony and
thoroughly investigating the question
has decided that liquor distilled from
grain is whisky. and under the pure
food act may be so labeled But he
directs that in the enforcement of the
pure food act the exact character OF
the whisky shall be stated upon the la
bel.
Manufacturers of straight" whisky
may label II as such with the further
descriptive term bourbon" or rye
and may add, II desired, that il is aged
in the wood. Manufacturers of 'recti-
fed" 'redistilled" or neutral" spirits
will be required to brand their product
as whisky made from rectified spirits
or whisky made from neutral spirits,
as the case may be and may also add,
aged in the wood" If the facts will
warrant. Blends made by the mixture
of straight whisky" and whisky made
from neutral spirits" may be labeled
as a blend of straight whisky and
whisky made from neutral spirits"
Kills Roosevelt's Decision.
The decision. which is of great i'm
portance to the manufacturers OF whis-
ky, is broad reversal of the decision
of President Roosevelt. made with the
advice of Chemist Wiley OF the Agri-
cultural department and his attorney
general, Mr.. Bonaparte. Under the
last administration only straight whis-
ky could use the label whisky. and
clear lines were laid down governing
the labelling OF other liquors distilled
from grain as ''blendsr or "com7
pounds" .n.D
Last April the manufacturers of rec
titled. redistilled and neutral spirits
asked rehearing on the ground that
the meaning of the term whisky is
one of fact, to be properly determined
only after consideration of competent
evidence drawn from those familiar
with the trade. The case was re-
opened. as President Taft explains in
his decision, because Attorney General
had accepted the dictionary
VI tlt ltiDi nhiShys
Solicitor General Bowers took the
testimony and collected a mass of 1t.
He decided that whisky" included
much more than straight whisky; that
Il included rectihed whisky, redistlled
whisky and all distillates of grain re-
duced by water to potable strength and
sufficient traces of fusel oil,
Or the congeneric substances accom-
panying grain distillation, to give a
whisky flavor to the liquor.
He excluded. however. neutral spirits
and found that a mixture of neutral
spirits with whisky was not an adul-
teration of whisky. .rlaf
Hits Wiley and Bowers.
The president could not. in reviewing
Solicitor General Bowers decision
which he highly commends. fully fol-
low him, but reaches the conclusions
stated above.
The president takes DIR. Wiley and
other chemists to task for "funda-
mental error" as to what the name
whisky has included during the past
100 years. and he also expresses the
opinion that Mr.. Bowers makes "too
nice a distinction" in his deductions.

Dry Farming Advice

A few days ago John 7. Burns, sec
retary of the Dry Farming Congress,
came to Chicago to consult with reput-
able real estate agents and railroads to
determine some policy to discourage the
migration Of families to dry farming
districts who have not reasonable pros
poets of success from financial stand
point, g.
J Mr.. Burns insists that beginner in
q dry farming section must have some
funds to carry him through the period
before his land begins producing. In
an interview Mr.. Burns said: After a
man has made his first payment and
has his fsnily and household goods on
the ground he should still have at least
$1,000 left to buy machinery, three
horses and enough to live on for year
or eighteen months. 1t takes at least
this long to develop dry farm.
According to Mr.. Burns, lack of a
reasonable amount of capital means
failure in the dry farming area. He
aisely contends that both the prospec-
tive farmer and the West will be helped
by discouraging the migration of those
who have not a reasonable prospect of
success. Prairie Farmer.
