sixteen-ounce loaf selling for 10 cents

Fallen Apples For AcetOne.

There is a possibility of using many
carloads of culls and fallen apples for
the manufacture of cider vinegar from
which acetone is extracted and which
is used in the manufacture of high ex-
ploslves, according to W. H. Manss of
the commercial development depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road.
1t seemed that this would be happy
utilization of an otherwise wasted pro-
duct and in strict conformity with the
now famous slogan ''let nothing spoil. -
The matter was taken up with the
chemist in charge of the fruit and vege-
table utilization laboratory and it was
found that there are far cheaper
sources of acetone than the sugars of
apples. At present one of the principal
raw materials for the manufacture of
acetone is black strap molasses, and
even the availability of large quantities
of culls apples which could be secured
at low figure would not make this
plan feasible.
Investigation is being made, however,
along other lines that will still make il
possible to ''let nothing spoil' anC
utilize in some profitable way the i'm.
mense quantities of culls and fallen
apples which are present every year in
territories where thousands of acres OF
apples are grown as they are in the
