THE McrADDEN WE'LL A SPOUTER
After Pumping for Several Days 1t De-
velOpes a Propensity for Gushing.


Those who are interested in the
MacFadden well and land adjacent to
it were treated to a pleasant surprise
Tuesday when the we'll began flowing
of its own accord. Though there Is
much salt water there is a marked i'm
provement in the production of oil.
The we'll continues to flow directly
into the 1900 barrel storage tank near
by. G. K. MacFadden was here Tues
day and said that he was in every way
satisfied with the WE'LL tn lathe believed
there was sufficient gas to keep 1T How
ing right along. He asserts that the
oil from his we'll is the best yet found
in the Welsh field, test showing 1t to
be two degrees better than that tested
from any other we'll.
Field Manager L. Whitsett was seen
by JOURNAL representative yester-
day and in reference to the well stated
that it had developed the best we'll in
the Welsh field and production of oil,
which at that time was over 100 bar
rels daily, was gradually increasing
and there was perceptible decrease
in the percentage of salt water.
! Since Tuesday the we'll has been
gushing through a two-inch pipe, bu:
realizing this was too small, four
! inch pipe was connected yesterday
and the we'll is now throwing a four
inch stream with much force into the
storage tank.
This we'll was drilled under the
supervision of Mr.. Whitsett, who is
the field manager for the MacFadder
people Although six months have
elapsed since the work of drilling be-
gan, but it must be taken into consid
Grafton that at no other point have Sc
many obstacles been encountered. LIZ
this we'll a huge boulder, twenty-si1
feet through, was found, and aftel
drilling for several weeks with an or
binary rotary rig, with no success,
cable drill was finally installed. AT
ter the required depth was reached ant
every indication pointed to an excel
lent producer, the screen PROVED
worthless, because of the presence o
fine sand, and much trouble was eN
: perienced before a screen could b
made that would properly exclud
, sand and yet admit the thick, heav
oil that is so characteristic of tn
+ Welsh field. 1t is now thought tn
problem has been solved, it is hope
, for all time.
+ Mr.. Whitsett stated that the cou
e pany would probably start anothe
: we'll within two weeks, its location
n be southwest of the one just con
pleted.

kindergarten SCHOOL.

One feature of the work to be done
by the Welsh Normal-Business lnstl-
tute during the spring and summer
will be the instruction of children IN
kindergarten This work will com
mence next Monday in the unoccupled
room on the first floor of the public
school building and will be in charge
of Miss Louise Smith, lady who has
taken the full kindergarten course in
Valparaiso College, Valparaiso, Ind,
and has had a considerable experience
as kindergarten teacher MISS
Smith comes highly recommended.
This training is something to which
all children are entitled, and which
every child enjoys. The child started
! in kindergarten school has great
advantage over those who are not
thus favored, and grasps knowledge
much more readily and comprehen
sively than he would otherwise do
This being the case, no further argu
ment is needed to prove that thu
teacher of young children who is no
familiar with kindergarten methods il
not sufficiently equipped for the worl
she is doing. How few parents AM
teachers of these little ones realiZ
their responsibility as such, and ar
prepared for the work they are expect
ed to do.
2 We assure all parents who patron
L ize the school that the best Interest

WILL RAISE COTTON AND CORN.
Acreage in Rice Belt Will be Greater
Than is Generally Supposed.

F. M. Joplin, after stay of several
days on his big plantation south of
Welsh, returned to Crowley Monday
and in an interview with a Signal re-
porter of that city gave out the fol-
lowing concerning rice and cotton in
this immediate section: ''The cotton
acreage of the rice belt will be much
larger than is generally supposed,
and in consequence the rice acreage of
Louisiana will be materially reduced.
In Acadia and Ca1casieu there will be
many small patches of cotton. and
know of several planters who will put
in from fifty to a hundred acres each.
SIN the vicinity of my farm, which
is south of the Jennings thrritory, not
only will good deal of cotton be
planted, put there will be a large acre
age of corn. One planter will put in
two hundred acres. Much of the land
will lie out this year by reason of the
fact that rice land needs rest One
planter in my neighborhood who had
| in four hundred acres last year will
plant about two hundred this year.
Another who had 1000 acres in 1903
will plant four hundred acres in 1904.
A very large percentage of this reduc-
ton will go into cotton and corn. In
driving through the country you will
see field after field ridged up for cot
ton, and I am sure people will be sur
prised at the amount of it that will be
raised in the rice belt this year.
"How much shall I raise? Not a
stalk. 1 am rice planter. I shall.
raise twenty acres of corn for my
stock, and plenty of vegetables anc
garden truck, but not cotton. This
.. rice belt will grow good cotton, but i
, will grow better rice, and the signs
, look good to me for good prices mex
fall.
1.-The Mermentau basin was neve
, in finer condition than it is today
Contrary to the general impression
there is ample water in the river an
! it's tributaries for irrigation purposes
: The Mermentau is full. 1t contain
{ enough water right now to last tn
! pumping plants six weeks.
''To return to the rice acreage. Th
reduction on account of planting co
: ton and corn will bring the acreae
Southern Calcasieu and Western Ac;
dia down forty per cent. The redu
ton in the river and bayou cOuntr
~ will be greater. In Texas the rio
, acreage will increase some. The tot
acreage of the rice belt will be great
! decreased, but, of course, it is impo
sible to say at this time what the a
U gregate decrease will be.
Il ''This will be the best thing tn

Kinney Rcid's Eligibility.

The action of the State Democratic
committee at New Orleans in refusing
to take jurisdiction in the contest al
lowing d. j. Reid to go on the State
ticket for alleged ineligibility was no
surprise to the local attorneys of John
a. Perkins, says a Lake Charles dis
patch. They declare that the reference
to the State committee was made by
the parish committee without any So
licitation on their part. The matter
will be carried to the State Contest
Board, which meets at Baton Rouge
sometime between the 18th and 18th
inst. 1t is q matter of interest in this
connection that Assessor A. l.. Lyons,
who defeated Reid eight years ago for
sheriff, was a member of this contest
board as constituted four years ago.
This will be the last effort against
Kinney Reid unless the contest board
refuses to declare him inelia ible and
allows him to go on the State ticket
as Democrat nominee for sheriff. In
that event the matter will come before
the supreme court in a suit carried up
from Calcasieu parish. Mr.. Reid S
! friends declare that his discharge by
. the bankruptcy court, which relieved
= him from all his debts, will clear him;
and that he needs no further dis
charge. His opponents believe differ
emily, and declare that they will car
=, ry their opinions to the last court for
:, final approval or rejection.
