facture syrup. a health juice, and

Gov. Haskell said today.

the manufacture OF the carrot prod
ucts. Mr.. Haskell explained. As an
example. he said that out Of 5000
pounds OF carrots. there would be
5000 pounds OF juice. This Juice

which tastes almost exactly like
maple syrup. and a carrot Juice
similar 70 sauercraut juice. The
pulp. 1900 pounds of IL. would be
used in making a cereal something
like n flakes in appearance.

this year. A ST. Louis firm Is al
