Some one has suggested that two
or three liquor distilleries be started
IN the county, where farmers can
sen gram for better or higher price
than they can obtain for it now in
the general market. Two genera.
tons ago there were many. distille1-
les IN Junlata county to whom farm
ers sold their grain for larger
price than they could get in the gen
eral market. Most of the distilleries
were run by the farmers who would
hrst convert the grain of their own
farms into liquor, and after that make
nquor OF the grain of their neigh
Dors and IN that way obtain a great
er price for their grain. The grain
was distilled in the winter time wh n
little work can be done on the farm.
Ii gram keeps going down in price
history may repeat itself in the man
of liquor in the highland
counties of Pennsylvania.
