INCREASING RUNS
IN AUGUSTA FIELD

Although no definite statement has
been made by Prairie officials 1t Is
admitted by them that they are in
creasing the runs from the Augusta,
Kan, and Ell Dorado fields. Just how
big the increase Is now they will not
say. but Indicate that further in
creases can be looked for before long
The second eight-inch line Is now be-
Ing tested and should the Prairie de-
sire they could take care Of practically
all the oil now available in Butler
county.
In oklahoma conditions are much
better and with very few exceptions
all the oil is being handled. although
the Prairie has not yet rescinded its
prorating order However, 1t Is
known that In the case of leases sur
rounded by land from which all the
oil Is run that the Prairie is not al
lowing the owners to be drained. In
many other cases the prorating is
based on the production last June,
which was so per cent of that pro-
duction. Is now sufficient to handle all
the leases will produce.
The Texas Company. 1t is reported.
has rescinded Its prorating order en-
tirely and is running all the oil from
leases with which It is connected. The
Prairie Is now cleaning up consid-
erable field storage that accumulated
during the prorating period and is
making connections with new wells
right along.
