Soft Corn Used to Make
Alcohol for Explosives

Bloomington, ILL.,, Oct. 5.--The war
has placed $10,000.000 in the pockets
OF Illinois farmers because Uncle
Sam and his allies needed alcohol for
the manufacture Of powder. Six
distilleries Of central Illinois. work
ing on war orders. paid out the sum
mentioned for soft corn, over and
above what would have been allowed
but for the war.
Soft Corn Used
The corn crop OF 1917 failed to dry
on many farms, due to the peculiar
weather conditions OF that season.
The pressure for alcohol was 30
heavy, however, that a large proper
ton Of the damaged crop was taken
for war distillation at $1.25 to S1.35
q bushel. 1t has been estimated TO-
000, 900 bushels were purchased for
this purpose during the last year. all
OF which was in soft condition but
which could be ground up for alco-
hol.
However, not all Of the alcohol is
produced from corn. "Blackstrap"
molasses from the south Is a supsti-
tute utilized at times when the supply
Of corn runs low. This molasses lie a
product OF the sugarcane and is ship
ped north in tank carr holding 5000
gallons. Perhaps 10 per cent Of the
alcohol now produced here comes
from 1t
All that is left OF the corn and mo-
lasses after the alcohol has been
forced out and the various byprodrcts
separated. Is water.
Byproducts Are Used
Some of the distilleries favor feed
ing the corn mash to cattle and hogs,
and from 1000 to 5000 head are being
fattened by this product.
The mash 10 also converted into a
gluten food for dairy purposes. A
corn oil is also produced which is re-
fined and used as a lard substitute.
Oil cake is also made for feeding cat
tie. Sussinic acid and tactic acid are
also by products produced In limited
quantities. The dross from molasses
also yields potash, used for fertilizing
purposes. A cheap grade Of syrup is
also produced.
The consumption of corn by war
alcohol plants has grown to enormous
proportions. The six distilleries
when in full operation consume the
corr from 1000 acres of land each
day. computed upon q yield OF so
bushels to the acre. If the war con-
tinues another year the corn from
800. 1000 acres of land will be utilized,
approximately 100000 bushels.
