THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
That an Appropriation TO Fight The
Boil WeeyiI Will Be Made.
COMMITTEE is FAvORABLY DISPOSE D
Colonel Peters Went Before II and ES'

penditure Asked For.
fspeelnI to Tbe Post.)


Washington. Fehrunry 2.--Despite the IN
favorable conditions which were at frst
thought 70 prevail. there now seems to be
a chance that the agricultural bill may be
arranged so az to contain an item Of s15. 600
to be expended by the department Of agri.
culture in developing strain OF cotton
capable OF withstanding the attacks Of the
boil weevil.
Senator Heitfeld OF Utah, who Ia looking
after the matter In the committee said to-
day he believed the committee would look
with favor on the suggestion,
After that Colonel Z. S, Peters OF Texns
appeared before the committee and made a
favorable impression, he pointed out the
determination OF tho weevll and showed
that the whole cotton raising territory was
threatened by tho pest. Chief Galloway OF
the bureau Of plant industry Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, spoke along the same
lines and gave to the committee the in
formation that Secretary Wilson favored
the appropriation. The committee took nc
action, but In a subsequent private talk
Senator Proctor, chairman Of the commit.
tee, gave Colonel Peters to understand that
he was highly impressed by the showing
made.
While before the committee Colonel
Peters also urged an additional appropra
ton for the division Of statistics OF the de
partment Of agriculture and the enlarge
ment Of the division into bureau Thi.
move was strongly recommended by Score
tary Wilson In a recent communication. but
the house committee ignored 1t and n,
action was taken further than the defca'
/ OF motion to place the division OF stalls
tics under the census bureau. A similar
movement was defeated on the floor Of tn,
house just before the passage of the agri
/ cultural appropriation bill.

Beaumont, Texas, February 2.--The En-
terprise today contains briefly the reports
from the various oil fields IN Southeast
Texas and Southwest Louisiana and also
the months shipments from Spindle Top.
The report is as follows:
The following report closes the month OF

Cars shipped by rail %, barrels 1873.
Cars shipped by water 1l9, barrels 2O,2S3.
Previous day, cars $50, barrels AZ .635.
Total for the month, cars 654o, barrels

The development OF the Jennings field is
going on as rapidly as could be expected
and everything indicates that the present
rate will be maintained during the year.
At present there are eight rigs drilling and
a number of new wells have been con-
tracted for on which drilling will begin as
soon as rigs can be procured
~
The Welsh field is still a problem, but
there are those who think that the field will
be great producer. There are active pre-
| parations bedng made to give 1t fair test
/ At present there are five rigs dllling.
! Those who imagine that development of
the Spindle Top field is a thing OF the past
D
figures are surprising even TO those who
have been keeping up with the work of de-
Velopment On this date there are thirty
eight drilling rigs at work on new wells
I with ten derrtcks up waiting for the drill
| Ing machinery. The most new wells are
being put down in the HeithIWsrd tract
with the Yellow Pine second. On the ex-
IRENE northeast edge of the field one well
| is being put down and the Guhrey company
mas pushed out on the MctSlddln tract
about three hundred feet. At present the
| star Petroleum company has the most new
rigs drilling, but IL is said thar the Guffev
company VIII put down twenty-five wells.
one OF them Will be near their famous
McFaddin well, which has already produced
/ 100000 barrels. The Higgins OIL aud
Fuel company is putting down three wells.
Inc helth-Ward tract is producing less oil
fact, no doubt, that most OF the wells ara
IN the upper strata. Some OF the wells will
be deeDened, and some OF the practical oil
