ten million dollars of which quarter

remainder common
The company originally organized for
the purpose of developing supposed oil lands
in Monterey county Shortly after it's organi-
zation however, three very valuable leases
were secured near the of Sherman, west
of the city, and the company started in to de-
velop there on scale unprecedented in the his
tory of oil development in Southern California.
The work of the company became the center
of interest among prominent oil generally
throughout the state, because of the aggressive
manner in which the work was started and con-
tnued
Within six months of the date OF starting
work in the Sherman field the company had
expended in actual developments and improve
ments, over 100000.
The operations of the American Petroleum
company were the first oil operations in which
Mr. Doheny was interested in the state of Cali i
forna since he sold the Petroleum Develop
ment company at Bakersfield to the A., T. &
S. F. Ry Co. in 1902 Once having started,
however the lure of active operations caused him

called, at cost of about $2200,00O. These purcl

ONLY A FIGHTING CHAHCE.
Fertilizer Tax Bill is Reported UnfavOr-
ably by Senate Committee. ~ Y

Atlanta, Ga.-The last fight for the
fertilizer tax bill, which means life
or death of the eleven district agri-
cultural schools In the state OF Geor-
gia, will be held in the state senate
this week, at which time this bill
will come up as special order. The
bill has passed the house and went
to the senate committee on agricul-
ture. Chancellor Barrow and Dr.
Soule appeared before the committee
as advocates of the bill, and ]. Pope
Brown, ]. M. Smith and w. l.. Peek
In executive session the bill was
unfayorably reported to the senate.
Unless the report can be disagreed
to. the bill will never be placed on
its passage.
The law creating these schools gave
to their support only the funds arts
Ing from the sale Of fertilizer tax tags.
This Is not sufficient at the present
price to sustain these schools.
These schools represent over a half
million dollars In grounds and build
ings. At them preparations have been
made to teach dairying, cattle rails
ing and soil tests, in addition to the
other branches of agriculture.
Cotton seed meal mixed with cotton
seed hulls has been declared by DR..
Soule, the dean of the agricultural
schools Of Georgia, to be the cheapest
and most nutritious cattle feed to be
had, and this well known southern
commodity will be given fair test
in both the dairying and live stock
raising department In the soil tests,
cotton seed meal as a fertilizer filler
will be demonstrated and, all told, the
agricultural schools give promise of
doing a great deal to improve the
plan Of utilizing southern by-products
on southern farms.

bers of the house, and two are to be
named by the president Of the senate
from the members Of the senate The
paper will be Immediately sent 10 the
