Make Alcohol In Breweries.

Michigan voted TO go dry at the last
election, but Henry Ford has plan TO
swing il back into the wet column again.
He believes that the breweries in the
State, which other wise must stand idle,
could be converted to the manufacture OF
denatured alcohol for use m sutom obileS
and tractors.
For some time experiments have been
conducted under Mr.. Ford's personal di-
rection by J. B. Daley. The results
have been so satisfactory that labora-
tory still for producing denatured alcohol
on large scale soon will be erected.
From the results so lar attained MIR
Ford feels that the use Of denaiured alco
hoI will bring about revolution in the
use OF liqui fuels in the industry. The
old brewery plants can be converted to
the manufacture OF alcohol without chang
ing any OF their present machinery, Mr..
Ford declared. A continuous still alone
must be added 10 their present equip
ment.
millions OF dollars" ." declared Mr.. Ford
recently. "are invested in these plants.
Economically it would be shameful
waste 10 have them become idle. But
there is no reason why they should be-
come so Every standard brewing plant
anywhere can be transformed at an ex-
pense that is in no sense prohibitive from
brewery into a distillery for manufac-
turing denatured alcohol for use in auto
mobiles or other internal combustion en-
gines.
"And then with the wori's supply OF
petroleum, and therefore OF gasoline, fast
playing out and the day of alcohol fuel
for automobiles and tractors just dawning,
the present brewery properties are as
sured future much more useful 10 the
community and quite as profitable TO
themselves as has been their past.
"The raw materials we have used in the
laboratories in producing alcohol cheaply
are various kinds of grains and vegetable
substances. Tests were made with corn
and wheat. Then we tried potatoes,
grapes, cherries, peaches. currants, straw
berries and many other kinds OF small
fruits. Carrots, turnips, beets, sugar
cane and wood were also used. We also
found that the wastes from canneries,
such as apple peels and cherry pits the
wastes from sugar factories and vegetable
tops, usually thrown away OIL the farms,
were surprisingly high IN alcohol value.
Zone OF the best materials we found
were cornstaks. These, ground up,
mashed and boiled, produced very high
percentage. An 7cre OF cornstalks will
produce 10 g.IlJls CT 1lcohol. Some
cornstalks would produce so per cert
more.
"Then the distIler can turn around and
sell his waste back TO the farmer for cat
tie food. Nothing has been taken from il
but the alcohol all the nitroeenous mat
ter is still there 10 go back TO the soil as
fertilizer.
again, we can import from Germany
kind of alcohol potato and make our
barren sandy acres in the North yield
abundanty. These potatoes are moi
good 10 eat. They are large, like our
beet, and the inside is reddish and juicy
and very obnoxious in taste and odor.
But they yield wonderful amount OF al
cohol."
