Rural gas from farm wastes tested at Ames station
The Ames field station of the U S Department of Agriculture and the Engineering Experiment Station of Iowa State College are testing a farm gas plant near the campus. Using corn stalks and cesspool sewage, the unit aims to produce 200 cubic feet per day of fuel gas at a cost of 300 to 500 dollars. Researchers note central distillation plants in small communities could run continuously with trained chemists and by products marketed in bulk.

Waste from farm scraps yields salable acids and briquettes
Special to The Gazelle reports the annual Bureau of Chemistry and Soils study from Amos showing corncobs and pecan shells produce more salable products than other tested wastes. Distillation tests by Dr Henry C Knight yield 100 pounds of acetic acid per ton from pecan shells and 130 pounds per ton from corncobs. The research, begun last year, aims to value farm waste by producing briquettes for cheaper prairie-state fuel and to stimulate a local farm waste market. A farm laboratory for velpas production is installed on the site.
