amount, $30o.000 was made, by pm
chases within the county.
The balance of the $345,000 cred-!
ited to Valley county was made up
by purchases of issues at the Fed
era! Reserve bank in Helena. These
purchases were on a statewide basis ;
and each county in Montana was
credited with its proper portion of j
them. The purchases were made by
the state teachers retirement fund,
the industrial accident board, the
state land board, the Montana
Power company, the Montana-Da

BULLETIN
Just as The Courier goes to
press a telegram received by
Chairman Brocksmith from the
state headquarters announces
that Valley's war bond purchase
total has gone even higher and
is now $358,246.30.

Every effort has been made, Mr.
Brocksmith said, to secure complete
reports on bond sales outside the
county which should be credited to
communities in the county. How
ever, there may be some cases
where such credits have not been
received, which would make some
communities' totals higher than is
shown in the tabulation.
Vandalia earned the honor of
naming a medium bomber by being
the first to achieve its cash quota.
while Glasgow will name a fighter
plane as second. To Beaverton com
munity also goes the naming of a
medium bomber as the community
exceeding its quota by the largest
percentage, while Fort Peck will
name a fighter as second highest
in exceeding its quota.
"All northeastern Montana coun
ties In Group 4 made a fine record."
Mr. Brocksmith commented. The
group as a whole exceeded its quota
by 124.9. Valley led with a per
cèntage of 133.4 percent and other
counties' percentages were Daniels,
129.6: Phillips. 119.5; Roosevelt, 124.5
and Sheridan. 111.2.
"Valley county now stands 16th
in percentage among counties of the
state for the April campaign. On
top of this were $300.000 worth of
bands purchased the first three
months of the year."
•One of the encouraging things
about the campaign was that so
many people bought bonds," he add
ed. "As closely as we can estimate
there were 2,000 individual pur
chasers in Valley county, showing
that we are alive to the need for an
unstinted effort in this war."
-I want to thank the many who
put this campaign over the top.
Without the help of the county
committee and the hard work of
the community chairmen. we
couldn't have made it. They are en
titled to the real credit for the
success of the drive. Also, special
thanks should go to the Glasgow ■
Kiwanis club for staging the sue
cessful war bond auction."
WILFORDS VISITORS
Sergeant and Mrs. Ben Wilford

Mr. Piazza said he was investigat
ing possibilities of large scale onion
production in this territory, but he
stressed that such production must
be preceded by at least one year's
intensive and careful soil prepara
«on.
Another possibility for this sec
«on. he said, is head lettuce.
While truck vegetables are grown
in many parts of the United States.
he said the time at which such
crops would mature in Montana
would bring them in demand not
only in the midwest but in the
south. Also, they would not be as
far from markets as production
areas on the west coast.
