OIL AND GAS

While there has been n lull in gush-
er competitions in the Blue Creek
field in West Virginia for a couple OF
weeks. the deep sand territory in
southeastern Ohio continues TO fur
nish better than average producers
with a regularity that attests to the
productiveness of that field. The
southeastern Ohio field does not sup
ply gushers but they are uniform in
size and 1t has been demonstrated
that they have excellent staying
qualities. Another difference between
the two fields is that the good pro-
ducerS are not confined 10 a congested
pool. The deep sand development

fve miles on an east and west line
