TEST POTATOES FOR STARCH
Department OF Agriculture Bulletin
Discusses Alcohol Making, Par
tlcuIarly From Spuds.
(Ry V. c. MELYILLEl


The U. 8. department OF agriculture
has issued Farmers Bulletin No. 40
on potato culls as a source of indus
trial alcohol. This bulletin discusses
alcohol making more particularly from
potatoes. The amount OF alcohol which
car be made from potatoes depends
upon the amount Of starch which the
tubers contain. just as butter making
depends upon the butter fat in the
milk or cream, says the Rural New
Yorker. Consequently in buying pota-
toes some quality test Is required, Just
as in the case Of selling milk, the
Babcock test is applied to determine
the amour Of butter fat. The test for
potatoes is based on a specific gravity.
AS is known starch is heavier than wa
ter and will sink to the bottom and the
sample starch test is based on the dis
lance which the starch will fall in a
volume of water. The instrument
shown in the Illustration is used.
There is a small wire basket attached

Sir Walen thoroughly trusted the left
