Mr. Farmer Just How
Much Of Your Soft Corn
Did The Distiller Buy?
LAST WEEK THE "LEAGUE DOPE" GAVE STATIS
TICS TO "PROVE" HOW WOEFUL WOULD HAVE
BEEN THE LOSS HAD NOT DISTILLERS BOUGHT
NEBRASKA'S SOFT CORN CROP.
A former government gauger, long employed in measur
ing the output of the Peoria plants, laughs at the story.
"In the first place," he 'says, "soft corn doesn't yield
enough alcohol to make its use desirable in distilling. In
the second place, the quality of alcohol made from it is
very poor. And lastly, the slop from soft corn is not good
for feeding cattle. All these considerations keep the dis
tillers from using soft corn at all, except when they get
some through the mistakes of their buyers."
FURTHERMORE, everyone knows that starch factories
offer the best and only markets for soft corn.
So you see, Mr. Farmer, the Nebraska brewer can never
get your vote by this soft-corn line of talk. It lacks ar
gument.
VOTE NEBRASKA DRY!
Liable i Be Misunderstood.
