GENTERVILLE PEOPLE RAISING OWN SUGAR; BERTSCH MILL BUSY - - CENTERVILLE. Ind., Jan. 1 The high sugar prices can not bother the people of Centerville and surrounding country for another year. They have grown their own sugar. This was evidenced by the figures given out on his season's work by W. A. Bertsch, who operates a sorghum mill in that city. "This has been my biggest year," he said. "I have turned out 7,500 gallons this year as against 4,000 last year. My next biggest year to this one was in 1918, when I had a rnn of 5,600 gallons." Mr. Bertsch attributed the large run to the high price of sugar last winter which influenced many, both in the city and country, to put in small patches of cane." I had about 400 different lots to run thru, 390 to be exact. All mills that I have heard of had had greit increases in this year's business over last year's. The mill at Cumberlaid, Ind., had a 50,000 gallon run this jear and some mills have more than doubled their business." Has Develped Process. The large amoint of custom work which Bertsch dees for his neighbors probably is d in some measure to the process whici he has developed for clarifying the s;rup by heat alone, without the use of ime or any of the usual clarifying agnts.

His molasses is tte pure juice of the

cane boiled down o a syrup. The important point in tie clarification by heat is the time of treatment of the juice during the flrstsvaporation. The raw uice is barely.trought to the . ) boiling point by the t-eam coils in the ) bottom of the tank ad hen drawn off before it has a cbane to boil, requiring great nicety of jugment as to the time to stop the cooing. Mr. Bertsch has hi plant carefully arranged with a vlew.o saving labor. The bagasse, or cane'rom which the juice has been presse is dropped directly in front of thffurnace doors, where it is used as uel. The raw uice is pumped up to je tanks in the top of the mill whes it flows by gravity down hrougbj he mill from one tank to another,,; mil it comes out a finished product i the bottoom. "The process thereaer is about the same as any other lill," said Mr. Bertsch. After it is tiled down to about three times its f.al bulk, it is ready for finishing. I this myself in twelve gallon batch which take about 22 minutes to fish. We can run out 225 gallons a cy."
