Millions of Bushels of Grain Will Now
Be I-mmI For Food.
Washington, Sept. S.?Tonight at 11
o'clock whiskey manufacture .ceased in
lin* United States under the provisions
of the food control law and the millions
of bushels of grain heretofore used in
making that form of drink will be di
verted to food. Importation of whis
key also stopiK'd tonight.
Just how much grain will be added,
to the food supplies as a result is not
determinable but exj>erts say about
1 (XUMHMKM) bushels are used by the dis
tilleries each year, of which al>out 40,
000.000 bushels are used in whiskey
manufacture. '
Customs ottlcials throughout the
country after tonight will seize all im
portations of spiritous liquors reaching
tlie United States. Officers of the in
lernal revenue bureau throughout the
country will see that distilleries make
no more whiskey.
Dlstllors" may continue manufactur
ing alcohol for commercial ?> purj>oses
and many of them have arranged for
this work, others turning their distil
leries Into manufacturing plants for
u'!is|, vineirar and by-products.
Stocks of whiskey in the country un
.lnubfedly are larger than they ever
been, because of active prepara
tion hy distiller^ and dealers in antici
pation of the law. Distillers have been
working at utmost capacity and imports
have lieen larger than ever.
otlirials estimate the quantity of
(vhiskcy in bond in warehouses to he
ah?nit 100.000.000 gallons. Stocks not
:n bond will bring the quantity on
hand in the country up to about 230,
(XMi.iMKi gallons. The annual production
? ? f whiskey has been about 110.000,000
gallons.
Peoria. 111.. Sept. 8.?At 11 o'clock
