Grain Wasted in Alcohol

Notwithstanding all the calamities that have come upon various parts of the world, the earth still yields her fruit. In America alone the estimate of this year's crop is 2,713,104,000 bushels of corn, and 772,264,000 bushels of wheat, equaling in value all the gold produced in the world for thirty years. What a pity it is that so much of this corn and grain must be utterly lost to the world as food in the manufacture of poisons, which make demons out of men and bring suffering to thousands upon thousands of innocent women and children.
