Extension Service
Gives Advice
To Gardeners

If interest shown by local res
idents is any indication, the
Victory garden program in Har-
din and vicinity should be very
successful, says George w. Gus
tafson, county extension agent.
There is scarcely a family in
town, he states, that is not now
studying plans and planting
charts and making preparations
for the biggest and best gar
dens ever produced.
Farmers in the county are
also planning bigger and bet
ter gardens than ever before. A
recent survey made by neigh
bcrhood leaders for the state
extension service and the Mon
tana War council reveals that
nearly a hundred per cent of
the farmers will have gardens
this year.
To those who are now pre-
pairing to plant a Victory gar

new TAX LAW
NOW IN Effect
Measure Similor To
l94l-42 Tax
Moratorium

Big Horn County Treasurer
Bert Slater this week directed
the attention to an act of the
state legislature signed recent
ly by Governor Sam C. Ford,
providing for the remission of
penalties and interest upon the
redemption of real property
from tax sale, provided such
redemption is made on or be-
fore July l.
The measure is similar to a
tax moratorium" law which
went into effect Feb. 10, 1941,
and expired May 81, 1912, he
pointed out.
Although the new law is
called an emergency measure
and is now in effect, it does
not apply to the second half
or last payment of 1912 taxes,
which become delinquent after
May 81, 1943.
Notices of the act will be
sent from the treasurer's office
to delinquent taxpayers as soon
as possible, Mr.. Slater said.
The notices will state that
ANY person having an equi-
table or legal interest in real
estate heretofore struck off to
the county when such property
was offered for SAFE for delin-
quent taxes and certificate of
such sale issued to the county
and when no assignment of
such certificates has been
made, or on which the taxes
are delinquent for the first in
stallment of the year 1912
shall be permitted to redeem
the same by paying the original
taxes due thereon, provided
such redemption be made on
or before July l. 1943."

Movement Against Japan
ese-HeId Islands Is
Now Predicted

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - The
next few months are almost certain
to bring some of the greatest battles
of the war between sea-borne and
land-based aircraft over Japanese
held islands in the Central Pa
cific.
Naval authorities here are con-
fident that carrier-borne planes in
sufficient numbers can nullify the
enemy's land based aerial defenses
as demonstrated, they say, by task
force raids on Marcus and Wake
islands.
The battles appear likely to be
Joined when the powerful forces of
the United States aircraft carriers
strike the outer Japanese defenses
and then seize bases from which to
launch new attacks even near the
japanese mainland.
The authorities say it will be a
long and tough job, probably COM
parable in some respects to the Solo
mon Islands campaign but they
emphasize this is absolutely neces-
sary to carry forward American
bases in the Central Pacific to posi-
lions at least in line with the ad-
vances already made along the
Aleutians in the north and the Solo,
