OTHER COUNTIES MAKE REPORTS Crops on the five acre tracts of land put in by J. J. Hill as demonstra- tion plots on the farms of Even Moe, W..G. Schroeder and W. E. Arnold, have been cut and will be threshed during the course of the next two weeks. Reports from these farmers indi- cate that all plots have produced abundantly, W. G. Schroeder predict- ing a crop of 60 bushels of barley to the acre, Even Moe 60 bushels of oats to the acre and W. E. Arnold a record breaking crop of Wheat. The record yield thus far reported from other counties on similar plots run 76 bushels on oats, 47 bushels on barley and 30 bushels of wheat. It is probable that Beltrami county tracts will break some of these records.

Tavenner. Washington, Sept. 6—The farmers of the country are just now enjoying the novel spectacle of seeing legisla- tion very beneficial to them, but very detrimental to the Standard Ofl Co., and the whiskey trust, being set well on its way to passage without a long and expensive preliminary campaign on the part of the farmers themselves, This is the legislation removing the restrictions from the manufacture of denatured alcohol from waste farm products. The movement inuagurat- ed by Senator Harry Lane of Oregon, has Dbeen taken up enthusiastically 3 by Vice President Marshall and Sena- g | tor Simmons, chairman of the senate = | finance committee, and has enlisted the support of the president himself. There is a good fighting chance that the modifications of the present law desired by the farmers will be incor- porated in the pending tarift bill. 5 | The present law over which there | was so much hullabaloo several years & ago was filled so full of jokers by Ald- : | rich in the senate and Iater hedged 1 about by so many impossible regula- = | tions by the Republican commissioner { of internal revenue that it is practi- | cally a dead letter. To operate an | alcohol plant which conforms to the .- present-law and regulations costs the = r farmer anywhere _from $12,000 16 - $20,000, provided he can buy his plant from the manufacturers of dis- tilling apparatus, which he can’t. | Commissioner of Internal Revenue | Osborne has just submitted to Sena- i tor Simmons a draft of a new model denatnred alcohol law, and the sena- tor will probably present it to the Democratic caucus for adoption. This bill will enable farmers to set up on their farms inexpensive little distill- ing plants provided with sealed tanks and meters for the distillate. When- ever the farmers have crops going to waste they can operate these little stills, The tanks into which the dis- tillate exhausts will be sealed by the 10cal revenue officer in such a way to prevent tampering. Central de- naturing plants can ,be located in every farm community much as- creameries and cheese factories are now located. The denaturing plants can have bonded tank wagons which will visit the farms to gather up the low-proof alcohol. The revenue of- ficers will travel with these wagons. In his presence the tanks can be open= ed, their alcohol content noted, and the farmer given a receipt which he can present at the central plant eith- er for its equivalent in high-proof al- cohol for use in farm engines or in money. It is all simple, inexpensive and allows adequate protection of the government revenues. Under the new provisions, farmers will not be requir- ed to put up bonds. The farmers’ - organizations, who had been planning a campaign for re- vision of the denatured alcohol law next winter, are now sending their of- ficers to Washington to urge the adop- tlon of the revision in the pending tariff bill. The farmers have two ad- ditional propositions which they hope to see incarporated in the bill before final adoption. ] reimburse farmers for their purchases of denaturing agents (which as pres- ent prescribed cost about seven cents to each gallon of alcohol) or else re- celve denaturants from the govern- ment free. This is urged on the arug- ment that the denaturant fs for the protection of the federal revenues and is a legitimate government expense. The other provision is that central de- naturing plants shall not be permit- ted to ship out of their districts the “ |residue left after distillation. residue is a valuable fertilizer, ‘esteemed by .European agriculture.
