An authority on alcohol stills says
that there are 10000 farm stills in oper
alton on as many farms in Germany.
The German government permits the
farmer to produce a certain amount of
grain or potato alcohol, the amount de-
pending upon the size and location OF
the farm and the annual demand for
the product. upon the payment of re
duced revenue tax. Alcohol distilled in
excess of the quantity allowed is sub
1ect to the higher rate or taxation. De
natured alcohol, however, is not sub
feet to any tax.
