They say the ground is now frozen
to the depth of about twelve inches.
This is one of the finest things that
happened to this country for many
years. 1t puts the ground in shape
for growing and seeding. The floods
have run the soil together the past
thee years and we have hardly had
fIo5t enough to freeze the top of It the
last few years to say nothing of freez
ing it so that it will mellow and fer
tilize. The big cracks now let the
air down deep and the air itselfis one
of the best of fertilizers. We are
getting the ground in shape, and
next season we are going to get the
crop.-Council Grove Guard.

Chanute, Kans., Feb. lat is the
general impression in the oil district
that the operators have the Standard
Oil corporation on the run. While
the trust officials deny that they have
decided not to purchase Kansas oil,
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1905-02-17

the fact remains that no oil is now
taken at the Chanute or Humboldt
field since Thursday the 9th.
At Coffeyville, where the producers
are not organized, it is said the pro-
ducers have been promised that prac-
tically their entire product will be
taken. This indicates to the local
oil men that the Standard is trying TO
discipline the producers who are or
ganized, and is endeavoring to create
discussions in the ranks of the oil
forces. 1t is freely predicted here
that these efforts will fail.
. G. D. Martin, of the Kansas and
Texas Oil Co., one of the largest pro-
ducers in the north field, said if pro-
posed legislation is enacted he and
his associates will establish five hum
dred barrel Basset refinery immediate

needed is already raised. The inn
preston pr evails that there. will be a
