Dr. J Alfred Hall of the forest service says about 4 billion gallons of alcohol could be extracted yearly from wood waste such as bark and sawdust. A $1 million plant at Bellingham aims to produce 2 million gallons annually, with another proposed $2.25 million facility in Oregon to yield 4.1 million gallons. Germany, Italy and Japan had similar plants before Pearl Harbor.
