FARMERS pIsTlLLERlEs.


For several years there has
been In force a law that Is sup
posed to favor the manufacture
Of denatured alcohol by farmers,
yet we find no successful farm
ers' alcohol plants. In Germany,
where this industry has devel-
oped, considerable encourage
ment has been given by the gov
ernment; there has been long
continued experimentation. and
q system is In operation for the
return of the mash from the al
cohol distilleries for the farmers
use rs feed for cattle.
On American farms there II far
less need for a method of using
byproducts, and our farmers
have not been forced TO practice
such close economies as have the
Germans.
Cooperation In the ownership
of distilleries IL necessary. and
they can be expected TO succeed
only In localities where large
acreages OF particular crops are
grown--such as the potato belts
of Maine and Minnesota. the fruit
growing sections. and In certain
other localities where there are
large quantities Of waste vcge-
tables that should be conserved.
The denatured alcohol boom ap-
pears to resemble some others
that were based upon superficial
observation In Europe. The ut
tempt TO graft these ideas on
American agriculture has failed
