There has been very little of i'm
portance in the oil fields during the
past week; nothing like what the in
dications pointed out one week ago.
At that time there was quite number
Of wells that were looking all right
and it was expected that they would
reach the sand by this time, but so
far they have failed to connect.
There is a large amount of work
being done in the western part of the
new extension to the Elk Fork field;
in fact, there is more work being done
there at present than in any other
part Of the southwest. Nearly all Of
the wells drilling in that part of the
field are important ones, as on them
depends the future of the field to a
great extent and they are being
watched very closely.
About the only thing of interest to
the oil men at present is the rumored
deal in couple of valuable pieces of
property. One Of the pieces of prop
erty is located in the Elk Fork field
and the other is in the deep sand ter
ritory in Wetzel county The two
deals, if they are consummated, which
is altogether likely now, will aggre-
gate about a million dollars.

potash, however, the soil retains it's
unproductive and useless character,
since all the food requirements of the
crop must be supplied or those pres
ent are useless. Potash is the chief
lacking constituent of these soils,
their organic origin rendering this
fact plain. Organic matter forms
their chief part and mineral matter is
comparatively lacking in their com
position. Potash is recognized as
being the most important and most
deficient of the mineral constituents
of the soils. a fact of exceptional ap-
plication and Importance with the soil
under consideration.
This deficiency may be best pro-
vided for by the use of muriate of
potash, an application of from $50 to
$50 pounds per acre being sufficient
for the purpose and would assure the
growth of remunerative crop Of any
common agricultural plant.
The accomplishment is so great, and
the means for effecting it SO cheap
and accessible that it seems strange
large an area of these unused soils.
1t is gratifying to see, howeevr, that
their utilization is fast increasing
and that there are now many thou
sands of acres of productive lands
which have been reclaimed from use
lessness by the means here described.

crops, ana possesses special adapta-
ton for some which are grown with
great profit. 1t is doubtful if any of
these lands are not susceptible of
profitable use. The means for accom-
plishing the end, however, must de-
pend on the cause of their present
useless condition. This may be ac.
cepted as being due to one or the
other of two conditions. Either the
presence of something antagonistic
or poisonous to plant development, or
to the absence of available plant food
for the sustenance Of the crop placed
thereon.
This former condition does occas-
ionally actually exist though Of rare
occurrence. 1t is due to the presence
of an excess of the low ''pro-to' oxide
of iron which is antagonistic 10 plant
growth. This condition is easily re-
cognized by the fact that the soil is
naturally excessively dark colored,
nearly black, and grows yellowish
where freshly exposed to the air. The
deposit sediment having the color of
iron-rust. The remedy is very simple.
Thorough pulverization and working
OF the soil, thus increasing the expos
ure to atmospheric action, results in
changing the low oxide into the
higher ''sesqui'' oxide which is wholly
harmless to vegetation. Frequent
working with pillow and harrow for a
single season will usually suffice to
effect the transformation. There will
then remain nothing to prevent the
successful use of the soil in question
provided the necessary supply OF
available plant food is assured This
condition, however, is the more com
mon cause of the difficulty we are
and may exist in conjunction with the
presence of the injurious iron oxide
1t is, therefore, to this lack of avail
able plant food that attention must be
given. The general appearance Of
these soils, their color, texture, ana
the fact that they are known to con-
sist so largely of decayed vegetation,
leads to the common supposition that
they are ''rich," but contain some
thing deleterious to plant growth. A
conclusion, however, wholly erroneous
as the actual cause of their lack of
ability to maintain crops is simply
due to the absence of available food
in their composition. Of the three
essentials, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash, the two former are usual
ly present in abundance but not
in the available form required by the
crop. The nitrogen present is in the
insoluble "combined'' form, the same
as exists in leather and certain other
useless forms not seldom used as
worthless adulterants of commercial
fertilizers. The amount thus present
may frequently exceed the quantity
in the best manure, or fertilizer, but
being wholly unavailable the crop
may starve though its roots are
buried in sufficient of this material
to produce lasting fertility if once
rendered accessible.

of the bowl, shoots off to one side just

trimmer, by turning the bowl from

5000 bushels. In an hour or less this
is loaded, and then Il tug takes her off
TO the ship.
A floating elevator lies alongside the
latter. The barge ties up beside the
floating elevator, Il leg of an endless
belt Is thrust down into her hatchway
and n dozen men shovel the grain up
to the elevator to keep it supplied. In
about an hour and Il half the barge is
emptied. The elevator does not de-
liver the wheat direct to the ship.

it into the ships hold. If there is
discrepancy between the railroad
weights and the floating elevator
weights, the railroad pays in cash for

"There's no end Of persons" said
man who walks great deal himself,
"who think they could walk four miles
an hour. and very likely they could,
but they would have to move along
very briskly to do 1t. AS matter of
fact, very few indeed do walk four
miles an hour; three miles Is very
fair gait, and when one exceeds that
lie is beginning to walk fast. IL my
recollection serves the old common time
in the army carried nan two and
fivc-eighths miles an hour. The dis
tances which the soldier covers I'm an

slightly increasing the length of his

In their proper order; but some Of the

experience are able to tell in an in
slant to what particular note or kind
Of note certain scrap belongs. When
the pieces contained in this bunch of
old money were finally sorted and
mounted it was found that while there
was not one complete note remaining
mot more than two or three scraps in
some instances) the rightful owner was
entitled to redemption Of four hun

not prove his ownership, nor could he
make affidavit as to what had become
