This joy- iisibitSoa afforded a mo.st astonishing j revelation of the uses of the potato Iand tiio largepiaeo itomiples among jGerman products. Everybody knows of course th a t potatoes are one of the mostvaluable crops in the world; yet most of us. will be astonished to learn that- m Germany 180 acres a re planted with potatoes for each 10,000 inhabitants, where as in the United States th'e area so planted is hut a fraction oyer 81 acres, and m Great Britain and Ireland yi acres, Not only are the German working people great caters of -potatoes, but they .make varied and extensive use of them for other purposes; Indian corn is nob grown extensively any­ where save in th e ' United States. In Germany potatoes take its place as food lor cattle,. This has led to the invention of special evaporating machinery, for the large amount of •water in potatoes makes them decay quickly and they lose mneb .of their food value when they sprout. The evaporator makes them available for forage the year- round. Starch doxuth, potato flour and starch Sirup are also produced in large quantities bu t alcohol is by far the- largest, product. Alcohol m Germany is made to play atoimpor-, tant. p a rt itt economic and industral life. Heating and cooking 'Stoves, street and hoiiseholdlamps, station- ary engines- and locomotivemotors all are fed Oy it, Both in the Ger­ man .and In t!ie Russian Navy alcohol engines up to 800 horse­ power have been used’ with great success.
