During the session from January , FARMERS MAY SOON GOW HIS MOTOR FUEL By RALPH ‘H. TAYLOR When farm tractors first came? into use, ome of the argumenis used against them was that while a farmer could grow feed for his horses, He couldn’t "crow gasoline for a tractor — ut in the post war world, the . armer may, in fact; grow fuel for his gas tank. That, however, is only one of the interesting sidelights on a very vital picture, involving the production of alcohol from surplus Meri products. Seeking a widened market for farm products after the war. a U.S. senate agricultural sub-committee, headed. by Senator Gillette of Iowa, has been hearing testimony and gathering data on proposals for sawdust alcohol and grain alcohol dehydrator plants. : Alcohol already is being made rom black strap molassas, grain sorghums, small grains, sweet and white potatoes, beets and apples. The U:. S. department of agriculture, meanwhile has been experimienting with olcohol for motor fuel at the Peoria, Ill., regional laboratory—and it appears that at the resent time aleohol may be used to blend with gasoline at the rate of 10 to 12 per cent. Reports state that the mixture has a higher octane rating than gasoline, but certain carburetion and motor adaptions if Present costs of Making alcohol Vary from 20 cents from black molasses to 40 cents from apples, accovding to experimental reports. For ranburetion purposes it is dehydrated to remove free water which inter“eres with its use as a motor fuel. ‘Mixed with gasoline in the proportion of 12 per cent alcohol, it may . 7 present give a 78 octane fuel at a ise cost of 7 1-4 cents per’ gallon, 'alcohol production hag been greatly present production, says Dr. Hale is far below yotential demand. Produciton will reach 20 billion gallons or more in 20 years, forecasts Dr. Hale} and the major ouwtlet will be tho.increased’ use of ethyl alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines. . Within 20. years, the cost of 41cohol should be lowered to 10 cents per gallon, according to the research expert—and once industry makes Tull use of the fermentation principle, he predicts there can be no over supply of farm production. During the war time: gasoline shortage, -little effort has been directed to development of the internal combustion engine use of alcohol, because industrial alcohol has also been in under supply, but the senate, committee chairmaned by Senator . Gillette, indicates it believes this de. velopment will not’ be long delayed once the war-is over. The Gillette committee, incidental. ly, was. instrumental in pushing grain alcohol into the synthetic rwbduced two thirds of the .used in rubber production, although it was originally slated to produce not more than one third. oe The future of the alcohol industry in the post war period, according to most of the expert testimony secured by the Gillette committee, will depend 50 per cent or more on what happens to the nation’s young synthetic: rubber industry.
