Interest in the Iberia oil field has IL
no wise abated. That rich field will
develop Ia now a practical certainty
The Gulf Oil Company, on the Bernard

been taken up and laid off in plots o

field almost in swBrms. The grea,
Standard Oil interests have good mer
on the constant watch. and as furth
er proof of the hopeful outlook, the
great European tinanciers, known AS
the Roxana crowd, being a combina.
tion Of Dutch and English capitalists
| behind whom stand the Rothchild
group, have Representatives on the
ground. This great European com
bination also known as the Dutch
Schell combine are practically the
owners of the Russian and Roumanian
oil output and are also extensively in
terested ia the Texas and Oklahoma
fields. In the United States. Local in
terest IN the Iberia situation Is en-
hanced because of the large holdings
of the Gardiner Noble Company, who
have leased 600 acres, placed judlci
ously around the center of attraction,
which is the producing we'll on the
Bernard tract. Some of the Gardiner
Noble holdings lie within 200 feet ot
the Gulf Company's well, and none OF
their propositions are Mt greater dis

fr..
vague, bazy conception of the myste-
ries Of oil well operations, and the terms
used by the operators are SO technical
| that one does not realize that it is not
all pure chance and gamble, but is the
result of scientific knowledge and de
duction. For instance. the average
reader, hearing that a salt well has
''come in instead of Oil, would meta
phorically and perhaps literally damn
the field and all connected with it,
But this is far from the case. Oil and
salt water bear an intimate relation;
the reason for this, while technical
and not suited for q short story, is
based on immutable laws This saline
dome was found in the Iberian field,
as IL has been found in every field
seven or eight test wells have been
sunk and most of them in the saline
region, which lies to the north and
west Of the producing we'll. The Gar
diner Noble holdings have the advan-
tage Of being In strategic positions, or
as a roulette player might say. they
have placed their bets with judgment.

investments. As already stated. a rich

BIG POTATO AND
ONION BUSINESS,

Messrs. Drexler Brothers are do
ing big business in Potatoes,
Onions and Garlic in Thibodaux
The large barn that was formerly
used as a sale stable and store
room for feed supplies when they
were in the mule and horse busi-
ness, is being need for storage
grading, and asserting the pota
toes and Onions before shipping
them TO other markets. Great
care is being taken in grading
and asserting the truck. The po-
tatoes are graded as follows white
No. l and No. 2 Red No. and
No. 3
The onions Fancy No. l and No.
2 and culls.
A visit to the barn, and the r
II shipping points gave us an in
sight as to the size of the busl.
ness, and the benefit that this
business is to the general retail
business of the town. More than
one hundred people are employed
by the Drexler Brothers in hand
ling the onions and potatoes, and
this does not include the people
employed on the boats and barges,
that are used to bring the truck to
ThibOdaux
We were not told the size of the
weekly pay roll, but we should
Judge that it is not short of five
hundred dollars. That means
that an average Of five dollars
each week is paid these hundred
hands, and as the season will last
about ten weeks, this firm will put
in circulation some five thousand
dollars, which will all go to the re-
tail store of one kind or the other,
and the business of the town bene
flted to that extent.
Drexler Brothers are shipping
out 8 carloads Of truck per day.
Could they get the cars they
would ship double that number. -

one on the Ladet, into salt rock

assisted materially IN locating the

FARMERS URGED TO RAISE SOME
CORN ON SUMMER FALLOW LAND

With very little extra effort or .e1-
! pense: you can plant from ten 10 TWEEN
~ acres or more of corn on ground
that you ordinarily summer fallow.
| This will provide feed for your live
stock, SO that every acre OF grain,
even your right-of-ways, can be
thrcshed and marketed. The cost OF
planting the corn will be insignificant.
About $40 will buy the seed for twen-
ty acres.
Sow the corn with grain drill, il
you haven't corn planter, in rows
far enough apart so that you can cul-
tivate in the same manner as you cul-
tivate your summer fallow. Rows
running north and south will be best.
The rows can be six to eight feet
apart, with plants 10 or 12 inches
apart in the row. Your corn will
need little, If any attention when you
are busy harvesting your grain. It
will not need TO BE harvested until
after your grain is in the elevator OF
| warehouse.
Sewing the corn in rows as wide OF
wider than six feet apart will not de-
crease your next years wheat crop.
Anyway, the imperative need is for
more food this year.
Feed the corn to your stock in
stead of barley, oats or wheat Utilize
/ the fodder il you can. If you can do
no better, snap off the ears and save
them; then turn your stock into the
cornfield and let them do the rest.
Get accllmated seed of any good va
Friety Of corn. Any of the following
varieties will mature nearly anywhere
in the Columbia River Basin:
Minn. No 13. Mimi. No. %, North.
western Dent. walla Walla White
Dent. Brown co. yellow Dent any
/ flint variety.
The dent varieties are more deslr-
able for feed because the kernels ar,
softer Flint varieties are good Il
ground.
If you are unable TO get good seec
locally. write TO any Of the Portland
seed companies or to any seed com
pany in North or South Dakota. Corr
raised in Oregon or Washington. ol
in either of the Dakotas or Montana
will be all right for planting in tbs

Mr.. Farmer:
Your country is at war and needs
your help. How can you render the
greatest service? The shortage OF
food is world wide. production must
be increased. Is it not your duty 20
help?
Undoubtedly you have sown all the
grain you possibly could. What other
crops can you plant? Corn ana
beans can be raised with profit in the
Columbia River Basin. From the
stadpoint of farm labor. corn does NOT
conflict with wheat. Then why not
