OPERATIONS IN OIL.
Past Week Not Productive Of
Big Things.
PRIcls CONSIDERED Low
Output Not Large Despite Activity In
the Field-Sit uRtion IL
Hopeful.

The oil business has not been
seriously shaken up In any quarter
for a week. The feeling has pre-.
vailed that the price Is very low
conside ring field conditions. The
producer is always the first to no.
tice the drift of the daily output.
Everyone engaged In the produc'
ton Of oil knows that efforts are re-
quired to maintain the yield of the
number of wells at given figure.
Sometim mes by the accidental strik.
Ing of an exceptional well the mat
ter becomes quite easy, but on the
whole 1t Is considered a difficult
problem.
This is shown by the extremely
moderate pace at which the total
output of Ohio and Indiana In
creases, with all the drilling that Is
being done In both states. But 1t
is quite hopeful sign that such Is
the case. Should another Wood
county pool be stumbled onto the
whole aspect would be changed In
the twinkling of an eye. Another
wood" however, seems out of the
question In Trenton rock develop
ments. Therefore a large and rapid
increase of the yield Is not looked
for by any experienced operator
here or elsewhere.
The Ohio City field, to which all
eyes have been turned for the past
month, offers nothing very fatter-
Ing at the close of the past week.
A dozen wells completed In differ
ent portions of the field of recent
date combined might do the ser
vice required of one or two good
producers. The average Is too
small. In this regard the sugges
tons of The Times made weeks
ago have been found to have been
worthy of strict attention.
The field was largely overesti-
mated at the opening of the first
we'll on the Williams. farm. The
excitement to degree assumed the
Texas order. Nothing Is gained
by 1t. The development Of the
field Is not brought about by the
Spectator In leases, but rather by
those who drill for production.

TURKEY CROP SHORT.
Wet Weather Against Them and
Thanksgiving Likely to Come High.


Snecial to TimesRepublican
Davenport, Aug. 1S.-'rhe good Ger
man housewives of Scott county farms
report that the turkey crop this year is
an exceedingly short one and the result
will be high prices ut Thanksgiving and
Christmas time. 1t has been estimated
Within the state that the price would
reach lG or is cents per pound. which
WOULD make turkey meat worth 30 cents
or more IL pound when purchased
dressed. The estimate makes one think.
of patroniZing a savings bank till
Thanksgiving, bur the chances are that
She total crop of the country Will not
he so short as the state crop. and if so
the price will be considerably lower
than ii looks in the state at the present
time.
The wet weather is held responsible
for the estimated shortage of 20 per
cent. The turkey comes to the barn
yard when ii is hungry, but ii has never,
been thoroughly domeSticated, and at
other times il usually finds some tree
to roost in or goes by its lonesome. 1t
invariably steals its nest. and it is said
that it is an mpossibility to set a tur-
key hen and watch her as YOU do
common hen. The wet weather has
spoiled many of the eggs in the nests.
which are generally placed in depres-
sion somewhere unknown to the poul-
try raiser. The result has been that
broods of turkeys are much smaller,
because the eggs did not hatch. Wet
weather is also hard on turkeys after
they have hatched. The young turkey
simply can't stand it. and many of them
have died from exposure in the damp.
