What will your today's harvest
look like 10 years from today? Will
it be just a memory 10 years old?
Or will your golden crops ripen into
a better farm, the best education in
the world for your youngsters, or
perhaps well-earned leisure for you
and nom? Now's the time for you
to plant dollars in United States
Savings Bonds for future harvests.
Four dollars for three dollars at
maturity, and the deal backed by
the United States Government
where can you beat Series E Bonds
for an investment these days?

Ranges in
Good Condition,
Bureau Report Says

Good condition of ranges
over most of Montana were
responsible for the higher rat
ingS for livestock in the state.
according to the report issued
this week by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.
The ranges are carrying a
good supply of feed and range
grasses are curing without
burning in some central and
southwest portions of the state,
the report says
Rainfall during August was
close to normal or above in
most areas. There were a few
dry spots in the central Sec
ton of the state where only a
trace of precipitation was re-
corded. Temperatures were
about normal. Most range
grasses made a lush growth
during the month and only a
moderate departure from the
excellent condition of a month
earlier was noted, except in the
southeastern portion of the
state, which took a sharp drop
of nine per cent.
Cattle and calves have main
tanned a very good condition,
since there is an adequate sup
ply of range grasses. The gras-
ses have cured well, resulting
IN fattened stock with good
firm flesh and a hard finish.
Very little pen feeding of mar
ketable cattle is anticipated as
cattle and calves will be mar
keted later and heavier. The
tendency will be to sell closely
on all classes owing to the
enormous prices being offered
and the light hay crop this
year. Cattle condition on Sept.
l was 90 per cent, the same as
last month, but four points
above one year ago and one
point above the 10-year aver
age.
Range feed on the high for
est and open ranges remains
adequate and the condition of
sheep and lambs has changed
only slightly from last month,
A small number of lambs have
gone to market earlier this
year because of local drought
conditions in the southwestern
portion of the state. A further
liquidation of sheep will take
place this year due to strong
prices and high feed costs.
