pert Lester Bromberg says in the
May Negro Digest that the chal-
lenger will easily lick the champ
in their June rematch.
"Defensively. Walcot is tn e
hardest man to hit in the heavy
weight division since Jack John
SON. Bromberg says in the Negro
Digest article. But the most val
liable of his assets is the way he
foils Joe Louis iab. And, when
you keep Louis from scoring with
his straight left you have taken
away SO per cent of his effective
ness"
Waleott's infighting is counted
on to take off another rs per cent
of Louis effectiveness. for he up
percuts inside Louis arms and
makes the champ back away. This
Bromberg declares. is what hap
pened in the ninth round of their
last fight when Walcott fought
his way off the ropes

lations, all Walcot has to do is

Forrestal could do the cause of

Wheat Loan Rate
VIII Be S1.83
49,. Says AGA

The loan rate for 1913 crop
wheat will be $1.83 per bushel
on farms in Big Horn County,
George C. Miller, Chairman of
the County AGA Committee,
said this week. The rate last
year was $1.695 per bushel.
Loans will also be made on
wheat in warehouse storage at
terminal markets. The rate for
1948 crop No. l dark northern
spring at Minneapolis will be
1925 per bushel. Protein pre-
miums and discounts for lower
grades will be the same as those
in the 1947 loan program.
The national average farm
loan rate is $500, representing
90 per cent of the $2.22 a bus
hel parity figure as of July 1,
the beginning of the market
ing year for wheat. The increase
in wheat parity on July l this
year over the parity figure OF
$2.04 on July l last year is a
measure of the rise in prices
paid by farmers for commodi-
ties used in production and
farm family living.
Interim loan rates, announced
by the Department. of Agricul-
ture in May to protect growers
of early harvested wheat, were
based on the April Is parity OF
1920 a bushel.

Estimate Over 500
Eligible. to Vote
Bond Election

City officials this week eSti-
mated that between 500 and
600 residents of Hardin are now
registered and eligible to vote
at the bond election to be held
in the city on Tuesday, July q.
They again urged that all Cit
liens check their registrations
and qualifications to find out if
they are eligible to vote. Eligib-
ility consists first of registra-.
ton as a voter at the county
clerk and recorders office. Sec
ondly a registered voter must
also be a taxpayer,
1t was pointed out, however,
that an elector need not own
real estate to be eligible but
must be a taxpayer on personal
property, including automobiles.
The issues to be balloted upon
are the same as were voted up
on at an election held last May
II, at which time an insuffic-
lent number of ballots were
cast to carry the issues although
a large majority of those cast
were in favor. The election is
for the issuance of bonds for
improvements and additions to
both the city water and city
sewer systems.
Officials say the present wat
er system is entirely inadequate
for the size of the town. During
extended dry weather water has
had to be rationed in the past
to retain enough for fire pro-
lection. This condition will con-
tinue until funds are made
available for improvements and
additions to the water system.
The sewer system is also badly
in need of Improvements, 1t
was stated.
Electors will vote upon the
issuance of bonds in the amount
of $105, 900 for water works i'm
provements and $4,000 for the
sewer system.

Employment Office
Acts as Reuter- for
Custom Combining

Due to the large migration of
custom combine outfits through
this section of Montana, the
local offices of the Montana
State Employment service have
been designated as routing of
ficeS. .
Custom combine operators
seeking work in this area are
asked to call at the local en-
ployment office to be routed TO
the wheat areas where conf
bines are needed. Wheat grow
ers in the Hardin vicinity and
surrounding areas may leave
their orders for custom COM
bines at the local employment
office in the Big Horn County
courthouse.
Although the majority of
combine outfits that have been
seen passing through this area
are heading for southern coun-
try. the peak Of the harvest IN
that area has reached a climax
and a lot of these outfits are
expected back to this country
for the harvest here.
Wheat growers in this vicinity
who are contemplating using
custom combines for their har-
vest. are urged to submit their
orders for combines as soon as
possible. Orders will be taken at
the employment office in the
basement of the courthouse.

Bureau SoYs Ronge
Conditions Are
Improved During June

Range conditions on July l,
showed a difinite improvement
over the previous month accor-
ding to the Bureau OF Agrlcul-
turaI Economics. Precipitation
was above normal during June.
Temperatures were generally
cool, making the combination
ideal for best growth of range
fesd., Although frequent mois-
ture was received during the
latter part of the month for
the section from Yellowstone.
County to the North Dakota
border, it was not sufficient
enough to allow for any extend
ed period of drynesS during the
next two months.
Mountain meadows and rang
eS now carry a lush, heavy
growth of native grasses. This
along with the excellent pros
poets of a large tame crop
should give ranchers a. very
good carry over this winter. :
It is reported that grasshop-
pers are in abundance on rang
es in Custer and adjoining
counties. This situation may re-
duce the available feed for
livestock during July and Aug
uSt.
With plenty of feed and
fresh water, cattle and calves
showed a marked Improvement
on most ranches during the
past month.
Large lamb crops and heavy
fleece weights have been noted
in a number of flocks. Summer
ranges are in excellent condi-
ton and lambs are expected to
go into the fall period with
plenty of flesh.
