The exper iment resulted in obtaining eleven gallons of alcohol from a ton of green corn cobs. The green stalks from which the canning corn was freshly pulled produced six gal lons of alcohol. This analysis of corn cobs and green cornstalks show how the refuse on the farm or at canning factories can be con verted into denatured alcohol, to be used for lighting country homes, cooking and for driving pumps and machinery on the farm. This is certainly saving the scraps and wastes. '• Card of Thanks.
