used for purposes. Of illumination
is being produced at the Arlington,
Va, exper mental farm Of the De-
par.ment Of Agric culture from the
destructive distillation cf ordinary
field straw. In making this an
nourcement tonight, experts of the
department added that "the pos
sib;lities Of straw gas are not yet
fully determined"
A special force has been detail
ed to the Arlington station TO con-
tinue the tests with various straws
and 70 work cut model plant for
the d ssillation of the gas.
IF a suitable unit can be con
structed." the announcement said.
SO that the farmers initial cost
will lie small. il seems likely that
the straw gas may have certain
economic value in sections of the
country where the. raw material is
now considered as waste and is
burned ar left &c rot on the fields.
