ENTERPRISE NEIGHBORHOOD
EXCITED BY OIL POSSIBILITIES

Enterprise, Blaine and nearby sect
ions have been considerably excited
recently by hopes of the discovery of
oil at the Enterprise well shortly.
A report was given out that the
drillers had entered a strata of oil
bearing sand, and their contention is
said to be borne out by experts.
Drilling operations were suspended
and it was decided to prepare to test
out the well. Owing to the presence
of water in the well, the casing be-
ing filled to the top, the drillers dec
lare that they cannot make any test
until the water is removed and the
source plugged. This water comes
into the well around the casing from
the 1000 foot level. entering the cas-
ing from the bottom. 1t has inter-
fered greatly from time to time in
drilling, but the hole was sunk in
spite of it. Now, however, the drillers
claim that this solid column of water
which causes a pressure of 1900 lbs.
per inch at the bottom, will not per-
NIT the oil from the oil bearing sands
to rise to the surface. Arrangements
are now being made to remove this
column of water, and keep it out.

TELL HOW TO SAVE MONEY
IN PLANTING SED POTATOES

The cost of seeding Irish potatoes
can be greatly reduced, the garden
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture point out, if,
instead of using a whole potato for
planting, the gardener will cut out
from potatoes cone-shaped pieces of
flesh, each containing an eye of the
potato. In this way only from one
fourth to one-ffth of the flesh of the
potato will be needed to provide seed
and the remainder of the potato can
be cooked for table use. These cones
range from one-fifth to one-seventh
of an ounce in weight. whereas under
the usual methods, the sets range
from three-fourths to ounces in
weight. A gardener, under ordinary
conditions, will get best results by
using Is to IS bushels, or 500 to
,0S0 pounds of potatoes to the acre.
This method of preparing sets. there
fore, should make available for table
use over CTS pounds of potato flesh.
which under ordinary conditions.
would be planted per acre.
To plant a plot so by 100 feet, or
approximately one-ninth of an acre.
at the same rate of seeding, would
call for l and 2-3 bushels to 2
bushels of seed. planted in the ordin-
airy way The method of using the
cones and eyes for seed and cooking
the remainder of the flesh, therefore,
becomes a worthwhile economy even
when a small area is to be planted.

the Whatcom County Potato Growers
Association at its meeting in Lynd-

able varieties grown in this district.

crops to these.
In the past, Whatcom County has
produced potatoes in abundance but
for a great portion of the crop, there
was either a poor sale at a reduced
price, or no sale at all. because no

The object of the association is to
learn what the market demands, and
to standardiZe the potato crop to
conform with these demands. The
organization will assist in the pur-
chase and sale of seed potatoes, and
in the marketing of the crop of the
members.
The association accepted with a
vote of thanks the offer of Mr. p NJ.

given at the Whatcom County Fair

HAS DIFFERENT PLAN FOR
USING ELECTRIC sun ON HENS

Herman Oordt, proprietor of the
electrically equipped Lynden Poultry
Yards, has a plan for using his elec-
trio lights on his chickens that diff
fers considerably from that of many
of the poultrymen of the district.
Oordt does not use his lights in the
evening at all. ana switches them on
in the mornings from five to six only.
From about March Is to Oct. Is he
does not burn them at all.
Oordt gives as his reason for fol-
lowing this plan that he does not de-
sire to force his flock to the limit,
and believes that better all-round
egg production can be obtained by
using this milder method.

TELLS WHAT ROADS
WILL COST TAXPAYERS
County Engineer Gives Estimate of
Cost of Construction Under New
Donahue Law

Just what the construction of hard
surface roads under the revised Don
ahue road law would cost the prop
erty owners, is shown in an estimate
prepared this week by Charles Lind
berry, county engineer.
Figuring the approximate cost per
mile at $4,000, the county would
pay fifty percent of the total, or
$1,000, payable in a period of five
years. The township portion of the
cost is 25 per cent, or $3.50, which
/, is given five years to pay. The as
sessment to the district would be
twenty-five per cent. or $3.50 to
run over a period of twenty years.
The district assessed would COW
er all territory within two miles of
made over the entire district of 1850
acres at cost of $3.50, the cost per
acre would be $50. If assessed on
a basis of half mile zones. tract of
leo acres in the first zone would
pay 1916. or is per front foot;
or .12h per front it: in the third
zone. 1892, or .0S per front IT.; and
in the fourth zone s96. or .04 per
front foot. The first zone would pay
$2.35 per acre. the second $1.75 per
acre, the third s1.20 per acre, and
the fourth 60 cents per acre.
The assessment zone basis is only
worked out to show approximately
what the assessment would be, but
the final assessment would be worked
out by the appraisers.
