EXPERT SAYS RED
LODGE DISTILLERY
OUTLOOK IS GOOD
G.. S. Barnett Arrives Here
To Supervise Plant
Construction

Red Lodge water
tribute largely to maxi -
the finest whisky in the country
was the opinion Of C. S. Barnett,
veteran Kentucky distiller who ar
rived here Thursday to supervise
construction of the Yellowstone
Distilleries, Inc, liquor manufac-
turing plant here.
"Your water here" Mr.. Barnett
said, "is the best that I have en-
countered anywhere; I don't be-
lieve that | can name offhand any
that can equal it in purity. Good
water is an important factor in
making good whisky and, after
looking over plans for the plant
construction here, / can see 10
reason why some of the finest
liquor in the country can't be
turned out here"
And when it comes to talking
of whisky making, Mr.. Barnett's
words carry weight. He dates
back his beginning in the distilling
business to his boyhood. He was
apprenticed in the business at an
early age in his home town of
Lawrenceburg, KY, and has con-
tinued in it for the past a years.
AT the age of Is he was in charge
of an 1900 bushel unit of the t.
B. Rippy distillery at Lawrence
burg, and a year later, at 10, took
a responsible position with the
famous E. H. Taylor and Sons
plant at Frankfort, KY, IA miles
from Lawrenceburg. Later he was
placed in charge of the operation
of the Taylor plant and continued
there until prohibition.
Since prohibition he has been
employed in operating capacities
at various distilling plants oper-
ated under supervision of the gov
eminent. Two years ago he took
over supervision OF a plant at
Logansburg, Pa, and still con-
tinues in a supervisory capacity
there.
Work on the local plant, he
said, is partly under way. Some
equipment is now under construc-
ton and everything is being done
to hasten the start of production
here. The local plant, Mr.. Barnett
stated, will be of an average size
to begin with, consuming $50
bushels of grain a day. 1t is to
house a 40 foot still with a capac-
ity of turning out 1900 gallons of
the finished product, excepting the
ageing process, daily.

PRICES SHOW
ERRATIC CHANGES
Grain and Hay Prices Up;
Livestock Prices
Decline

Farm prices paid to Montana
producers on July Is show mixed
changes compared with a month
earlier, according to the monthly
price report of the U. S. division
of crop and livestock estimates as
issued by Jay G. Diamond, senior
agricultural statistician.
The sharp increase in grain
prices that occurred in June was
largely maintained, while prices
for hay moved into higher ground
as a result Of the drouth. Poultry
and dairy products for the most
part were unchanged, while in the
livestock group all items except
hog prices recorded a decline,
which in most cases carried them
below the levels of a year ago, re-
fleeing the curtailment of pro-
duction prospects.
The continued deterioration of
hay crop prospects has now adj
vanced hay prices to the highest
level in three years, with baled
hay now averaging $40 a ton, or
So a ton higher than a year ago
and a dollar a ton higher than two
years ago. Similar advances are
shown for all classes of hay, in
Guiding timothy, alfalfa and mixed
clover. Alfalfa seed shows little
or no change compared with a
month ago and is still quoted con-
siderably below the prices paid a
year ago and two years ago.
In the livestock group, the
prospect of heavy fall marketings
Of both cattle and sheep has ap-
~parently reacted unfavorably on
the Montana prices of these COM
modities. Beef cattle now average
about a cent lower than a year ago,
with sheep prices being practically
at last years level after a favor
able advance that had carried
them to relatively favorable levels
two months ago.
Drouth influences are also ap-
parent in the case of prices quot
ed for milk COWS and horses. Milk
cows declined about 81 a head COM
pared with a month ago and 81 q
head compared with a year ago.
Prices of poultry and dairy pro.
ducts show little net change com.
pared with either a month ago OF
a year ago and are higher than the
price of two years ago in the cas-,
of dairy products.
