Bond Election Is
Slated in {
School Dist. 17.H

Resident taxpayers in school
district No. 17-H who go to the
polls in the primary election
July Is will also have an OPP
portunity to vote in the school
district bond election which is
being conducted simultaneously
with the primary.
Ten of the county''s % pre-
cincts are within school district
No. 17-H and polling places for
the school bond election will
be set up in those 10 precincts
in the same location as polls
for the primary election.
The issue to be voted upon
in the district is the same as
one voted upon last April, when
an insufficient number of vot-
ers cast ballots to make the
election legal, although a good
ly majority Of those voting
were in favor of issuing the
bonds.
The question, as it will ap-
pear on the school bond bal
lot, is as follows:
Shall the board of trustees
of school district No. 17-H of
Big Horn county, Montana, be
authorized to issue and sell
bonds of this school district in
the amount of $124,000, bear
ing interest at a rate not ex-
ceeding six per cent per an
mum, payable semi-annually,
during a period not exceeding
20 years, for the purpose of
constructing an addition to the
elementary school building of
said school district which is 10
Gated on Block IA of the Sec
ond addition and Block II of the
First addition to the original
town (noW city, of Hardin,
Montana, or a separate build
ing thereon, which addition or
separate building shall consist
of the construction of six addi-
tional classrooms, the construc-
ton of a superintendent Of
flee, a teachers room, a health
room, toilets, Mushrooms and
shower rooms combined, janit-
or's room, and storage rooms in
the amount of $1,000 0 and for
the purpose of equipping all of
said rooms with the necessary
furniture, fixtures and appar-
atus, consisting of desks, chairs,
and all other necessary school
equipment in the amount of
Sis, 900, making a total amount
of bonds to be issued on the
credit OF said school district
for said purpose of $124,000."
School officials and others of
the district have been in agree
ment for many months as to
the urgent need for additional
classrooms at the Hardin ele-
mentary unit.
As was pointed out before the
bond election last April, many
of the present elementary class
rooms of the unit have had
near impossible teacher loads
in recent years, due to increaS-
ed enrolment and the fact that
additional clasSrooms are not
available. In addition, school
officials have been forced to
place some students in sub

Stock Car Race
Track Is
Nearing Completion

Stock car racing in Hardin
is expected to begin within the
next few weeks, according to
information from Leo ColStad,
a member of the committee of
the local American Legion,
which is sponsoring the project.
Work of constructing the 7/16
mile track at the Big Horn
county fairgrounds at Hardin is
progressing satisfactorily, &C
cording to Colstad, and should
be finished in the near future.
Work remaining includes actual
grading of the track and fin
ishing the 800 feet of guard rail
which is being placed in front
of the stands.
Posts for the rail have been
set, and all material is on the
site. Completion of the con-
Struction is awaiting the grad
ing operation. The safety rail
will consist of steel pipe rail
fastened Is inches above the
ground on railroad tie posts,
and above which will be two
decks of heavy cable, to pro-
tect the stands from cars
jumping the track. A second
safety fence, behind the track
railing, between the track and
stands, will also protect spec
tators. ....z
Racing rules will be virtual
ly the same as those on tracks
in Billings and other towns, so
that racer may be entered here
as well as on other stock car
tracks in the area.
It is planned to stage races
weekly in Hardin during the
season, and it is hoped the first
race will be scheduled some
time this month. A percentage
of the gate receipts will go for
race purses, and the majority
of net proceeds will be used to
finance junior baseball in Har-
din, according to the American
Legion.

Crop Prospects in
State Vary,
Bureau Reports

CrOp prospectus vary COllSluGI-
ably throughout Montana at
present, ranging from excellent
in the western third to poor
in some extreme eastern coun-
ties, according to a report by
the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, Department of Ag-
riculture, Helena.
Little precipitation fell dur
ing the week in the dry sec
-tions, while moderate to heavy
rains improved soil moisture
conditions in most areas west
of the Continental Divide. Win
ter wheat is beginning to ripen
and much of it on short straw.
Over half of the spring grains
are headed out. Livestock mar
keting has declined, BAE re-
ported.
Very warm temperatures and
some wind during the past
week dried topSoil rapidly in
parts of eastern and central
Montana, partially cancelling
beneficial effects from rains of
the previous week. However, the
much needed moisture has been
effective in improving the
growth of late seeded spring
grains and causing better fill
ing of the heads in winter
wheat and early seeded spring
stands.
Prospects for very much i'm
provement in wheat yields in
the drought stricken areas are
not great as most of the wheat
has headed out on short straw
and with small heads. Much
more rainfall is needed to ma
terially improve the condition
of ranges and dry land hay
crops. Some wheat has been cut
for hay and a small amount is
being graZed.
Considerable additional plant
ing of corn and millet is under
way in the eastern portion to
provide late summer and fall
feed for livestock. Crops in the
western and southwestern sec
lions have received additional
moisture and are growing rap
idly. All irrigated crops are do
ing well. Some hail damage is
reported in scattered areas OF
the state.
Most of the winter wheat has
headed and a good portion is
| filling and beginning to ripen.
It is expected that some har-
! Vesting will begin in a week or
two, the Bureau said. About 63
| per cent of the spring wheat
and 10 per cent Of the barley
are headed. Potatoes have made
good recovery from frost and
are growing well.
Sugar beetS are developing
rapidly. Corn stands vary from
fair to poor in the corn areas
of the state. The first cutting
of alfalfa is over half complet-
ed with yields ranging from 30
per cent above average in the
southwest to considerably be-
low average in dry land areas
| of the eastern one-third.
Progress had been slowed UNI
til the fore part of the week
! by rains which leached early
cuttings. Unsprayed alfalfa
fields in some south central and
southeastern counties continue
to suffer from alfalfa weeVll
and lygus bug infestations.
Ranges in the western and
! southwestern sections are IN

It's a tough Job to name a
cattalo, according to MIR. and
Mrs. Gerald Williams, prophet
orS of the Battlefield Souvenir
Shop, located between Crow
Agency and the Custer Battle
field national monument.
In case you've never heard
of a cattalo, 1--WE hadn't ac-
cording to webster it is a "hy-
brid between the bison and
domestic cattle, harder than
the latter"
Little no-name cattalo, who
is pictured with her Jersey
mother in this issue, and whose
sire is "Goofy" a former popu-
lar buffalo at the Souvenir Shop,
arrived ID days ago, and is do
ing fine, Mrs. Williams reports.
Since the cattalo arrived, MI.
and Mrs. Williams have been
seeking a name for her. Many
have been suggested, but Mrs.
Williams says none seem to Just
fit the new arrival. Consequent
ly, Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are
offering a prize of SIS cash to
the person suggesting the most
appropriate name for the cat
talo, which is believed to be
the first ever born in Big Horn
county.
Mrs. Williams says everyone.
including tourists, is welcome to
submit a name and compete for
the cash prize.
A new book recently added
to the shelves of the Big Horn
county library is of special in
tereSt to residents of this area,
and especially to the librarian,
Miss Lois Taylor.
The book, by May S. Metzler,
entitled Desert Memories and
Other Verse;" consists of a
number of short poems, one of
which is entitled "An Angel
With Whiskers," and was writ
ten in tribute to the late Fred
B. Taylor of Hardin while he
was living in California.
MI. Taylor was the librarians
father, and the author of the
new book is a distant cousin of
Miss Taylor.
