MORE RUBBER IN SIGHT

Now that the Agriculture De

is feasible 10 make synthetic rub
Der OF grain alcohol produced
from farm products, there should
be a drive for more wheat and
corn
Department chemists say it is
possible for existing alcohol plants
to produce sufficient quantities OF
spirits from corn and wheat TO
make more than 100000 tons OF
synthetic rubber a year, or about
one third OF this countrys normal
needs.
Upwards Of 100000 bushels
OF grain would be required. to
make the raw materials for this
quantity Of rubber. The grain Is
available. Diversion of quantity
into synthetic rubber would help
relieve the storage congestion. l.
would help in many other ways,
but IT probably will be early in
1913 before any appreciable guam
titles OF grain rubber can be
turned out. Time is required TO
make the alcohol and TO establish
and equip plants for converting
the alcohol into rubber.
The government already has
made upwards OF 60,000,O00 bush
els OF wheat and corn available
20 professors for conversion into
high grade industrial alcohol
needed for making munitions and
for other war purposes. This
grain is being substituted for raw
sugar and molasses.
II more grain is to be used for
rubber It will soon be proper for
farmers TO again produce big crops
rather than pillow them under, and
in the event that not enough grain
can be supplied TO produce all
the alcohol needed for war pur-
poses 1t might be considered eI-
