Lihue Will Make
Fuel for Local Use

Lihue Plantation is conducting in
vestigations looking to the erection of
modern distilling plant, for the
manufacture of fuel alcohol from
waste molasses. A plantation like
Lihue turns out, as a by-product some
100000 or 100000 gallons of waste
molasses year, which, as waste mo-
lasses, has comparatively little value.
AS basis for the manufacture of
alcohol this molasses would be worth
a small fortune. With the steadily
increasing price of gasoline, which
threatens very soon to be SO cents a
gallon, it is very important that we
should avail ourselves of any possible
alternative. 1t is reported that fuel
gallon which will put it on footing
of great advantage compared with
gasoline.
The plant in mind for Lihue, will
manufacture not less than a thousand
gallons day. and will probably
serve as a central factory for the Is
land. or at least for the American
Factors interests here.
The manufacture will be under the
very closest government supervision,
the different processes up to the de-
Maturing being under Internal Reve-
nue. Seal, and being inspected fire.
quently by revenue agent.
To fit the alcohol for fuel purposes
benzine must be added, and perhaps
other ingredients, and finally methyl for
the denaturing, which is really a pro-
cess of poisoning to unfit it for bever-
age consumption. This fuel alcohol
can be used by trucks and cars with
no other change than a reconstructed
carburator
We are specially favored on these
Islands in having by-product like
molasses from which the alcohol can
be made. Elsewhere, we are told, the
natural base out of which it can be
made is too expensive.

BACK ON A VISIT

Mr.. and Mrs. William Stodart are
Lihue.
Mr, Stodart, as will be remembered
was for some years the manager of
difficult days of its Inauguration, and
practically brought the place to its
present condition of efficiency.
He is very much impressed with the
great advance which the Island has
made since his day, especially in the
matter OF the conveniences of life,
roads, bridges, factories, homes, etc.
He finds it a much finer Island to live
on than it used to be.

LEAF MEN MEETING
LARGELY ATTENDED
Lexington Man Explained Market
Situation Here and Elsewhere
Madison Not In

Matters pertaining, to the to-
bacco situation and to the coming
selling season which will be of vi
tai interest to all growers, were
themes upon which A. F. Shouse,
of Lexington, an extensive grow
er, addressed growers Monday
af a meeting at the court house
here Mr.. Shouse who had Just
completed an extensive tour of
the Carolina and other markets,
told about them, the production,
sales, etc.
The matter of bringing about
ways and means to secure reason
able prices for the local product
was also discussed. There was a
large representation of local
growers in the city and the capa-
city of the courtroom was taxed
to its utmost when the meeting
was called. There have been a
number of meetings held here in
the interest of the growers and
this will perhaps be the last be-
fore the opening of the sales, it is
understood.
The speaker was experienced
along the lines from the planting
to the sales of tobacco.
The production Of Madison
county represents the largest in
wears, reports to the contrary not
withstanding. 1t was produced at
a big price, wages having been the
highest in history, and it is said,
naturally represents bigger out
lay upon the part of the producer
than any previous year. The
concensus of opinion here is that
nothing but reasonable price
will be considered and it is a
growing opinion that the price
prevailing when the annual sales
are opened here, will be satisfac-
tory. However, this is one Of
the matters being given attention
at this time.
Madison and Garrard counties
are the only extensive producing
territories not represented in the

tiOO.
