TESTS SHOW new
MARKET FOR CORN
AS FUEL FOR CARS
Tests at Iowa State Indicate
Corn Alcohol Has Anti
Knock Qualities
WOULD IMPROVE GASOLINE
See Plan as Long Term Relief
Measure; Allotment Needed
Now, Leaders Say

Middle-western farm leaders, who
are advocating the domestic allotment
plan as an emergency measure to re-
duce production and raise farm prices,
have began work on second and
more permanent step in their pro-
gram by setting up special commit
tee to promote the use of farm pro-
ducts in the manufacture of motor
fuel, according to reports from the
Minnesota Farm Bureau.
A mixture Of 10 per cent alcohol
with gasoline, farm leaders say,
would create new market for $780,
100000 bushels of grain year. This
new market would consume the entire
surplus of grain as well as the grain
now used in producing surplus live
stock.
The mixed fuel, according to tests
recently made at Iowa State college,
performs well in ordinary motors and
has high anti-knock and acceleration
qualities. With corn at 60 cents
bushel, a price which would restore
large measure of buying power to
the corn belt, motor fuel containing
/ 10 per cent corn alcohol would cost
about three cents a gallon more than
ordinary gasoline. That compares in
cost to prices now charged for anti
knock motor fuels.
1t is estimated that it would take
about three years to build the new
industrial plants necessary to pro-
duce the 1 1-3 billion gallons of al
cohol year called for by this plan.
1t is therefore not plan to meet the
immediate emergency, and farm lead
ers say it is in no sense a substitute
for the domestic allotment plan, pass
age of which they believe to be essen
tial to put buying power back on the
farms Immediately. The alcohol plan
has the advantage, after it can be put
into operation, of providing new
outlet for farm products instead Of
requiring reduced production.

Operators 1000 Miles Away Hear
Jaehning Amateur Station, W9SF

KFEQ in st. Joseph, Missouri, was
one of those who remembered the park
at Redwood Falls and many in Iowa
have mentioned it.
He was in Minneapolis recently and
went to Chanassen to visit the sta
ton there. He picked up the trans
mitter and signalled his home call.
His wife heard the call and they con-
versed.
Although his station should be
found at the 995 kilocycle mark.
Carlyle stated he has had reports of
finding it below KSTP.
Last year he was the only amateur
radio operator in the United States
to communicate with Chinese sta
ton or Malay settlement station
during American Radio relay week.
More than 10000 amateurs belong to
the league and the contest is to deter
mine which operator can communicate
with the most foreign countries dur
ing the week. The same stunt will
be tried next month.
Many teachers and others interest
ed in radio have visited his home and
heard him talk to operators in other
cities.
Among the 81 foreign countries
with which he has communicated with
his key transmitter are Australia,
New Zealand, Cuba, Canada, Alaska,
Hawaii, England, San Salvador,
Argentina, South Africa, France,
China, Malay Settlements, Spain,
Guam, Chile and Brazil.
