fore stated, with a record already
made in the production Of at least
one calf of'superior merit.

mediate charge Of this experiment,

C. The first calves will be dropped
in September next, and history will
then be in the making. 1t is safe
to say that the experiment will be
watched with interest not only by
those who have pinned their faith
to the Short-horns, but by lovers of
all good beef cattle.
What can be attained in the de-
velopment of one breed can doubt
less be matched by the followers Of
other breeds. 1t is unfortunate in
some respects that the experiment
could not be broadened to include
twenty Hereford and twenty Aber.

done the experiment right from the
beginning would command the
earnest attention of all breeders of
pure-bred beef cattle, and lessons
of value would unquestionably be
learned long before the termination
Of the twenty-year period.

Of special interest this month is
the visit in Boise and Caldwell of
Mr.. R. L. Simons, Of the Office Of
Extension Work, North and West,
United States Department of Agric-
ulture. Mr.. Simmons brought some
definite plans and details of type
of county organization known in the
east as a County Farm Bureau. The
aim is to organize the farmers of a
county in groups to work with the
leadership of a county agricultural
agent on definite program of farm
and country life improvement. This
entails a paid membership represe-
NATIVE leading farmers in every
community of county as active
workers on the improvement progr-
am. with an advisory council made
up of nine leaders in special fields
Of farming to direct and supervise
the work. PROFESSIONALLY the plan
markedly successful in New York
state, where they have Sc county
farm bureaus, is the best yet devel-
oped to get the people of county
behind the county agent and to get
them to definitely skork together on
the farm problems Of a county.
Following the suggestions of Mr..
Simmons. organization campaigns
have been started in Lewis and Can
yon counties. These will be folio
wed by similar campaigns in every
county which desires to employ an
agent. Though this is an exceeeing-
ly busy time of the year for the far
mer, in both counties where the
work is started, the farmers turned
out well and received the plan with
unusual intrest. Both the county
agents concerned were surprised by
the support given the plans by the
farmers and are looking forward to
working next year with an interes-
ted, working group of farmers.

A Bird Story

: Last Tuesday night. shortly after
dark, a great bird of some kind, ap-
parently somewhat smaller than a
South American condor, or the gil
gantic fowl that saved Sinbad, the
sailor, appeared from out of the
great somewhere and perched in it's
immensely upon the roof of Fred
Peterson's barn. Fred took a crack
at the monster with a % caliber
rifle, and the bird sailed away again.
Since Fred has not been able to find
any trace of the bullet, he is con-
WINGED that the bird carried it away
imbedded in its anatomy. For some
time past Fred has been missing
chickens, and he believes the ap-
pearances of this bird, and its APP
parent familiarity with the prem
Uses, furnishes the key as to the
whereabouts of his absent poultry.
While Fred didn't say so, it is like
ly that the occurrence also frees his
mind of suspicion that the editor,
who is his near neighbor, might in
some way or other have been impli-
Gated in this chicken business. If
so. we are grateful to the bird

The following editorial comment
was clipped from the Kansas City
Times:
The price Of print paper, which
has been steadily rising, is to be
still further advanced after the
first of the year. Next years
prices will add from so to 60 per
cent to the cost of paper to the
newspaper publishers. The country
newspaper that has been paying
$40, 900 year for paper will here
after pay SIS, 900 and more. The
metropolitan paper which has been
paying $1,OO0.00O will pay
81, 100000 and upwards.
This sudden and unexpected adj
vance in the cost of the newspapers
raw material is a matter of. very
great Importance, not merely to the
newspapers, but to the public.
Scores Of newspapers are likely to
be put out Of business. The others
must find drastic means for increas.
ing their revenues or they must cut
down their service. In either case
the public, of course, must finally
foot the bill.

Without being captious we might
easily find fault with great deal
of experimental work that has been
done at practically all of the sta
lions and colleges. In many in
stances the results of single ex-
pertinent have been sent broadcast
over the land, although the ele-
ment of error or variation enters so
largely into investigational work
that a single experiment is but a
guess, and from this guess wrong
conclusions are often drawn.
At this time attention is called to
the beginning of an experiment de-
signed to run throughout twenty
year period. 1t will be conducted
at the Kansas station, and the pur-
pose will be to fix a type of dual
purpose animal, emphasis being
placed upon milk production and
beef-making qualities. Twenty
Short-horn cows have already been
selected from some of the we'll
known herds of the country. Each
individual cow was chosen, not be-
cause of the merit of her breeding,
but because she had already pro-
duced an outstanding calf. Scotch
bulls will be used, and these will
conform to the showyard type.
Matchless Dale, a massive son Of
the great bull, Avondale, heads the
herd at the beginning. This bull
is already credited with having
sired more championship Short-horn
steers than any other Short-horn
bull living or dead.
The cows that have been selected
as foundation for this longtime
experiment have been pronounced
by experts to be breezy in appear
ance, distinctly feminine in charac-
ter, of smooth conformation and
level lines. They carry an even
distribution of flesh and at the same
time they display pronounced milk
ing qualities. In other words, they
are fine, feshy individuals with

popular tradition Mother Shipton's
Prophecy" was published nearly
$50 years ago:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with
woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall
fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of
a tree.
Through hills men shall ride
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk.
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.

GASOLINE SHORT AGE
ON PACIFIC COAST
Engineers Present Data to
Show That the West
Country Is Short.

GLOBE, Ariz.. sept "a serious
gasoline shortage on the Pacific coast,
the effect Of which would extend
throughout the entire country during
tho next year, was predicted here to-
day during the closing sessions of the
convention OF the American Institute
of Mining Engineers.
w. X. Hamilton Of San Francisco
presented the gasoline industry data
to the engineers. According TO Mr..
Hamilton, the only possible means of
increasing gasoline production are by
tho increased production of either
light oil or casinghead gasoline.
lowering the grade OF market gaso-
line. or by successful innovations in
refining methods. Most OF these solu-
tions Mr.. Hamilton explained as i'm
practicable In the immediate future,
although he said that by lowering the
grade of gasoline production could be
increased from 80 to so per cent He
attributed the future gasoline short
age TO decreased production Of refin-
able oil tthe decrease amounting to
6,000.0 barrels In 1870, steadily in
creasing consumption. the discontinu-
ance Of imports and the heavy ex-
ports due to the European war de-
mands.

Big Antlcline company's first well was

wells are being drilled in different

thousands and thousands Of dollars

NARROW WELL MAY STARTLE OIL WORLD;
DRILLING AT 1925 FEET-B|G STRIKE EXPECTED
Biologists 1900 In
Fee tof Blues Waltz
Within Miles Company Rig

r. NJ Conway, presiden, OF the Big
Anticline Oil company, was jubilant
yesterday when seen upon his return
from the test well the company is drill
ing near NARROW. in Stephens county.
I'VE have just passed through Is
feet OF blue shalc and are now in i
seven foot vein of fine oil sand" said
Conway 1T looks like the big strike
so many have been searching for is
soon to be made The big pool OF oil
which has been predicted by biologists
and sought by at least twenty different
companies in Stephens county, will be
flowing in our MARROW we'll within a
short time or ! miss my guess.
This we'll has looked like q winner
70 me from the start. The anticlinal
formation is extra good and every day
Of drilling has borne out, almost to a
dot, the calculations OF several Of the
most expert geologists in the state.
At s8s feet we drilled through 4 high
grade oil sand. At $40 feet we found a
light showing OF gas. Then we went
through $50 feet Of red rock and into
the blue shalc which is fine indica
ton OF oil,
I'VE are now drilling at l!02S feet
and another high grade oil sand seven
feet thick has been found. II the geolo-
gists prediction about the oil strike
Is as true as was his prediction about
what we have already found, We ought
to make the big strike in few days
more Every geologist we have con-
suited has told US that the big pay sand
would be at | 200 to 500 feet II may
come sooner: nobody knows. The
drillers are watching every baler full
Of earth that comes from the hole.
You can see their faces. anxiously ex-
pectant as the drill keeps going down.
Their eyes light with satisfaction as
they watch the progress of the well for
they are old heads at the drilling game
and every sign is like an open book
10 them It sure looks like we've To-
Gated the big pool all right and ! cx-
pect to see it come in within 10 days"
II the fatcs decree that this we'll is TO
be the one to find the big Stephens
county pool, it will certainly be a fit
ting tribute to the man who might be
termed the Father of the Field"
Almost two years ago Conway went
into Stephens county with geologist,
believing that another big field similar
to Hcaldton. existed somewhere in the
vicinity. Together they located the

antly Conway has placed these remain
ing shares on the market and has de
cided 10 offer them at par that the
response may be immediate and the
needed funds raised without trouble or
delay
Il will probably be criticized severely
by some Of our original investors for
letting any OF our treasury stock 90
at par when we seem 10 have come to
the very brink OF fortune In fact |
think myself II is the most amazing
bargain in oil shares ever presented to
the public since the oil industry be-
gan here.
A SIS investment in Big Anticine
shares at par today, may be worth $3.50
or $500 for that matter, tomorrow,
and am speaking literally, not broad
ly. because the result of our NARROW
well may be a matter OF hours tomor-
row morning may see the big pool struck
and every stockholders fortunes in
creased from one to ten times the or
iRinal investment But that is neither
here nor there. The development work
we have planned requires cash immed-
lately We can well afford to let
few more i'll al 81 share than to waste
time convincing folks il is worth what
it actually is.
The announcement that more of this
stock is available at 81 share is go
ine TO cause a furore. The money will
come rolling in like giant wave. We
will probably have applications for
