Montana relief bonds total nearly five million dollars
Relief bonds totaling four million seven hundred seventy five thousand dollars have been voted across twenty one counties in Montana to supply farmers with provisions feed and seed grain. An additional two counties opted to use seed grain funds up to one hundred dollars per county without a public vote bringing the grand total to four million seven hundred ninety five thousand dollars. Some funds were loaned in northern counties to provide winter provisions while much remained for seed grain. The action prompted more farmers to plant larger acreages this spring and saw some drought displaced farmers return home after crop failures. National government aims to enforce prohibition as N B Miller notes with records moved to L K Devlin’s office in Helena.
