To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the Azores, great quanti- ties of sweet potatos are grown for this purpose, and make an alcohol of fine quality. There are large areas in the United States, especially in the Southern States, where the sweet i>otato can be grown in great abundance. The cx])erinients at the South Carolina Station show that as high as 11,000 pounds of sweet potatoes can be grown per acre. In addition to starch, the sweet potato contains notable quantities of sugar, sometimes as high as six per cent, being pres...ent, so that the total fermentable matter in the sweet potato may be reckoned at the minimum of 2}^ per cent. A bushel of sweet potatoes weight 55 pounds, and one-quarter of this is fermentable matter, or nearly 14 pounds. This would yield, approximately 7 pounds, or a little over 1 gallon of 9S% alcohol. It may be fairly stated, therefore, in a general way, that, a bushel of sweet potatoes will yield one gallon of industrial alcohol." U. 8. Bulletin 268, pages 30 and 31. In most of the eight Southern States referred to herein, the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors has been prohibited by law, and large numbers of distilleries and brewers are idle.
