STARCH FACTORY IN
IIN0T TO Care FOR
SURPLUS POTATOES

For some time movement has
been under way to install starch
factory in the city of Minot, the first
industry of it's kind in North Dakota.
The fact that so many potatoes are
now being grown in this vicinity with
prospects of many more acres, has in
duced number of Minot's prominent
residents to investigate the feasabil-
ity of installing a starch factory and
they believe that it will prove pay
ing venture.
: The organizers of the Minot Starch
Factory, Inc, are: go >z..r =.
Thos: A. Golfer, president; Frank
w. Youngman, secretary; j. A. Carl
son, vice president; Peter Kulaas,
treasurer; H. A. Foss and L. L. Colby,
directors. o. B. Herigstad is the
company's attorney.
L. L. Colby during the past II
months has assembled facts and fig
ures secured from the Agricultural
department, Washington, D. c., the
University of Minnesota, seven starch
factories in Maine, and others in
Canada, California, Minnesota, Wis
consin, mad from experts, architects
and builders of starch factories. He
had valuable assistance from Peter
Kulaas, we'll known Minot chemist.
Mr.. Colby submits the following ques-
lions and answers:
Question.-Why build potato
starch factory in Minot; is it a good
location? H.
Answer.-The very best, Minot has
abundant good cool water at less than
100 feet below the surface, and coal
Ignite fuel to dry the starch in the
drying tanks. E.. .s.r
Q.-What about the raw material
potatoes; are there enough for fac
tory? r..
! Ayes, more then plenty, at 1000
bushels per day, that is $4,000 bu-
shells for the IL months at 26 working
days per month. And there are that
many culled potatoes that can not be
proftably shipped to market, tribu-
tary to Minot. I'D .......-
Q.-How much of the potatoes are
not fit for market?
A.-Generally about 33 1/3 per
cent, 5000 car loads of potatoes not
properly graded were shipped out
from Minnesota last year at total
loss, and about the same amount from
North Dakota. We have not the
statistics on North Dakota. ~.
Off potatoes are frosted or dam
aged can they be used for starch?
Ayes, a starch factory in Wis
consin some years ago, had about
10000 bushels piled on the ground
that froze before they could be taken
care of, then later in the winter these

potatoes were used. They had to
break them up with crow bars and
picks. A small amount, however, OF
its starch value was lost, but it was
less than Is per cent.
Q.-How much starch in potatoes,
corn, wheat, ETC.? ....
A.-From Chemistry department OF
Birmingham University, as follows
Potatoes, 80 points, this meas 10
pounds starch to the bushel; Wheat,
20 points; Rye, SO points; Corn, 1s
points; Barley, 20 points.
Q.-Are starch factories financially
successful?
Ayes, where there are potatoes
enough to run at least one half the
year. At Cambridge, Mimi, in 1921,
where there is an up-to date factory,
cleared nearly 200 per cent ON the
capital invested. That factory cost
$4,000, completed. At Bemidji,
Mimi, they have potato flour fac
tory. There they have not one fourth
enough potatoes, except shipped in
some hundreds of miles. They are
converting same into starch factory.
Q.-What price for potatoes and
what profit do you expect?
AT 35c per bushel there will be
profit of fully 20 cents. Ten pounds
starch per bushel, at z cents per
pound is 70 cents. This will allow
so cents for all overhead expense and
interest on the capital invested.
Q.-What will the Minot Starch
Factory cost?
About $4,000 completed with
out the grounds. We expect the City
of Minot to donate the grounds.
Q.-Will the factory be a good
thing for the potato growers
A.-Certainly, starch factory will
create a market for potatoes of small
off-grade, damaged or frosted pota--
toes, and if the market for good
grades are cheap even then the fac
tory may pay better price than
could be realized in shipping to the
eastern and southern markets.
Q.-What value if any is the, resi-
due from the starch manufactured?
A.-The best fertilizer known, for
fields and gardens. This is the report
from the manager of Grantsburg
Starch Factory, Wisconsin,.
The above information can all be
verified by letters, folders, pamphlets
and bulletins in the company's files at
F. w. Youngman's office, which is the
company's office. la. ~.

New Orleans, October 13-(spe- setal )---AIrs. Bertha F. North, 1923 Teche street, Algiers, identified 2o- night as the man she saw jump from the Canal street ferry Tuesday, the body of a man found In the Missis- sippl river at the head of Morgan street, Algiers, by two ship carpen- ters.
 In the mans pockets were papers proving that he was Clinton, H. Hood of Florence, Ala, who was supposed to have jumped into the river Tues day night after leaving note stat ing that he did sos because he was hungry and was slowly starving to death.
 But the most peculiar circumstance connected with the whole matter is that the body fished from the river this afternoon was bound both hand and foot with stout cord, the hands being behind the back.
 This mystified the police. Tho man had army discharge papers in his pockets, showing that he had served with distinction in the Philippines and had been cited for bravery. and that he had always been model sols dier.

 Chief among the points of contro- versy throughout the sitting was what was requisitloned and when. It was argued by the United States that the order issued merely requi- sitioned ships then completed and materials for uncompleted vessels.
 Norway claimed the United States requsitioned not only ships and ma terials, but also contracts. and claimed compensation for their mar ketable value.
