Mrs. Mary Johnson has Il pneumatic
farm near LennOX, S. D., through the
surface Of which a gang of expert drill
ers have been trying for weeks to sink
q drive well. To a depth of between
12O and $50 feet the tubing enters the
soil without difficulty, but as soon as
the air cushion is reached the wind
PUSHES out with n screech like Il loco
motive. Sixteen-pound sledges are
tossed into the air as lightly as feathers
and operations have to be suspended.
When this occurrence took place the
first time the workmen figured that
they had merely struck IL wind pocket.
After waiting several days in the hope
lit would exhaust itself they pulled out
the tubing and made n fresh start in
a new location. At about the same
depth as before the old program was
repeated. A half dozen attempts have
now been made with no greater degree
of success. From the last hole the
wind smelled so strongly of gas that
the drillers were unable to work
