~ cierh III WHICH the owner OF an
oil lease is forced to turn over to
the lessee the royalty oil instead of
its equivalent. Sarah Rector, the rich
est Negro girl in Oklahoma, and prob
ably in all the world. now is receiving
in royalty $4,000 more a month than
formerly
Six hundred dollars day was her
income from one of the most valua BILE
oil land allotments in the entire Oil
ton district. Her tract of land, which
is operated by B. B. Jones, millionaire
oil man, is now producing in the neigh
borhood of 100000 barrels of crude oil
month. For her share, one-eighth
or 10000 barrels a month. she was
getting 80 cents a BARREL or a total
OF $4,000 month, giving her u daily
income from her oil royalties of $780,
An additional ten cents a barrel pre-
MUM for her oil was obtained through
decision by Federal Judge Campbell
of Muskogee, holding that an oil com
pany operating a tract of land must
pay the royalty in oil instead of money
if the landowner demands it. The
market price for oil is so cents, but
premium is being offered for oil as
the demand is now greater than the
supply. By demanding the payment
of the royalty in oil Sarah Rector has
sold her oil to the Pierce Oil cor
poration for 80 cents a barrel. or an
increase of $4,000 a month. or $66 a
day. The deal was made for her
through her guardian. T. ]. Porter
The Sarah Rector allotment has al
ways been good revenue producer.
1t has been producing oil for about
two years. She has received from her
land in royalty approximately 100000
In cash up to May 1 of this year, and
on that date her royalty oil that had
accumulated during the previous four
months was said at the then market
price. 40 cents a barrel, netting her
an additional S65.O00, or total of
125 900.
The sale at that time was made
to B. B. Jones, the operator of the
land, and the contract was continued
in force to sell the royalty oil as it
accumulated subject to termination at
ten days notice.
The Sarah Rector land reached its
high tide in production during the
spring of this year. 1t was estimated
to be making 10000 barrels a day dur
ing April or 100000 barrels for the
month, of which the little girls share
was $4,000 barrels. For February the
hector production from the deem sand
or Bartlesviile was 100000 barrels.
n
During the spring months it was
the biggest producing property in the
field.
Prior to getting the deep sand pro-
duction the Rector land produced oil
from the Layton or shallower sand.
and during the last months of 1913
TINS amounted to about $4,000 a
month.
When the deal was made last spring
whereby the accumulation of royalty
was sold to B. B. Jones, it was esti-
mated that the Rector land would
yield to its owner anywhere from
100000 to SIPS 900 in royalty during
the succeeding four months, and IL was
said that the tract would be a big
money maker for her for many years
to come.
With the recent increase in the price
OF crude oil. going to so cents a bar
rel from 40 cents within a six weeks
period. and with the federal court de.
cision separating the royalty from that

In clearing away their agricultural
exhibits from the courthouse. says
dispatch from Normal, Ala, the Ne
groes of Madison county wound up one
of the most significant agricultural
meetings which has ever been held
in this section. The meeting was
called to order by Prof. P. c. Park3.
director of agriculture at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college for Ne
groes at Normal. and agents for the
Smith-Lever extension fund In the
Tennessee valley.
The courthouse was decorated with
the choicest products of the Tennessee
valley and the walls were placarded
with pointed epigrams which indicate
that the Negroes are waking up to
the latest ideas in farming. The OBJ
ject of the conference was. Alabama
Must Feed Herself" The audience
was made up principally of Negro ten
ants and land owners, but there was
large number of white people pres
ent also. Speeches were made by
prominent white landlords, among
them Mr.. Roe of Triana. From Mr..
Roes address 1t would appear that the
large land owners of the Tennessee
valley are anxious to join in any move
ment which will tend to improve the
efficiency and happiness of their ten
ants.
The meeting was opened by David
A. Grayson. chairman of the board of
trustees of the Agricultural and Me-
Ol,n
troduced Ed Johnston, who In turn
presented Congressman B. 3. Almon,
who delivered the principal address.
Congressman Almon spoke at length
upon the natural resources of the Ten
nessee valley and the superior agri-
cultural advantages which 1t offers.
He said that the one-crop system has
throttled the South since the Civil
war and caused the southern farmers
to be borrowers instead of lenders.
He said that only Is per cent of the
western farm lands are under mort
gage, while IS per cent of the south
ern farm lands are under mortgage
Congressman Almon favors a rural
credit system with low interest and
long term payments. He seems to
regard rural credit. crop diversified
ton and intensive farming as the sal
walton of the South.
DR.. w. Fl. Nixon, presiding elder of
| the Huntsville district of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, made a
very brief and apt response to the ad-
dress of Congressman Almon in which
he urged more friendly relations be-
tween the races and paid high tribute
to the friendship of the white man for
the Negro.
In closing the conference. President
Buchanan called attention to the fact
that in the Tennessee valley alone are
about 1900 Negro tenants. 1.500 Ne
gro farm owners and about rs 900 Ne
gro boys and girls of school age who
must be the future Negro farmers of
this valley. This great host of 25.-
900 Negro farm workers must be
taught to improve their own efficiency
and the productive power of the soil
which they cultivate and be made bet
ter satisfied with life upon the farm.
To this end he expressed great salts
faction in the fact that Negro ten
ants and owners lad assembled in this
conference and discussed in the most
encouraging mG3nAr the most funda-
meatal problems of rural life, namely.
better farming, better religious and ed
ueational facilities and better rela-
tions between landlords and tenants.

Season of Aspiration.

o springtime, the season of aspira-
ton! with what delight in life thou
f1llest the hearti On one side, the
spiritual world is attracting US, and
we feel assured that only in it's closest
bond of union can our true happiness
be found. On the other hand, Nature
with her thousandfold witcheries calls
back our hearts and our senses to her
own eternal life. 1t is hard that
neither the internal nor the external
can fully satisfy our desires, and that
the souls in which the two are united
are so few. A life purely spiritual
cannot satisfy US; there is something
in us that has longing for reality.
AS the thoughts of the artist can find
no rest until he has embodied them in
an external representation, so the OBJ
ject of all our aspiration is to find in
the perfect material, the counterpart
and reflection of the perfect E7iritual.
