"This bulletin has been prepared with two purposes in view : First, to outline the conditions which must be considered before attempting to make denatured alcohol, and second, to give in detail the practical methods for the manufacture of alcohol from potatoes. A discussion of general conditions is given in order to answer the many inquiries received at the Department as to the availability of various materials and it is hoped that persons interested, by a careful reading of this section, will be able to decide for themselves as to the value of any proposed material and the possibility of successfully making alcohol from it under their respective local conditions"--Purpose of the bulletin (p.5)

Potato Culls as a Source of Industrial Alcohol

"The effect of wind in blowing soils is in the aggregate of much importance in the humid sections, although the process is slower and less obvious than in the drier regions. The good effect of the shifting of soil lies in the mixing of the soil particles and the renewing of the surface layers. The evil effects occur principally in the arid and semiarid regions. The most practical means of control like int he proper adjustment of the cropping and tillage system so as to provide at the critical stages a protection of either plants or rough surface soil. Increasing the humus content of the soil also reduces the danger of blowing. when the land is used for intensive farming, brush lines, straw covering, hedges, or windbreaks of tree constitute the most efficient protection." -- p. 23
