General view of the Keery Chemical Co. plant near Cadosia, Delaware 

 County, N. Y. This view was taken from a sprout stand of timber cut over 

 for " acid wood." This stand has been cut over on three different rotations. 

 A growth equivalent to approximately one cord per acre per annum was deter- 

 mined to be the average yield. The timber was made up almost entirely of 

 hard maple, beech, and birch. This is a six oven plant having a daily capacity 

 of 60 cords. It is one of the few plants in the State which has a refinery to 

 turn out 95 to 98 per cent wood alcohol. The wood yard is shown on the 

 extreme right. The cooling ovens are shown on the extreme left. The refinery 

 is the tall building in the center of the picture. 



The wood in the foreground is left to season for at least one year before 

 being used in the distillation process.
