Test On 1900 Acre Lease to
Be Finished By March 1st

On advice Of our geologist, we have
leased direct from the land owner 1900
acres near gas and oil in the famous Nowata
county district, just on the edge of pro-
duction. We secured this acreage at low
cost, but 1t looks so good that one Of the
big companies in the state has agreed to
drill test well on the structure for 800
acres, leaving us 1,lS0 acres clear and to
be proven at no additional cost TO us. We
are going to drill two wells Of our own on
the structure, in addition to the first test.
This proposition ia considered by expert
oil men to be one of the bestlooking oil and
gas propositions in the state today. Think
what 1,lS0 acres will be worth!

| eleven admirals, has filed the maximum

cation and the agricultural extension
service of the state agricultural col
lege. The results of this campaign as
reported through the district superin-
tendents to the department of education
show that our boys and girls produced
$4,000 bushels Of potatoes and 1000
bushels of beans and nearly $4,000 bush
| els of other garden vegetables, and
that over $4,000 quarts of vegetables
and fruits were canned by these young
people The value of this production
IN money reached 100000. That is,
| the school children III their own gar
dens, added this amount to the food
| products Of the state. The young peo-
| pie who enrolled in this work are called
| the Green Mountain Guard.
Besides the actual production, the
| most important factor is the experience
| which the boys and girls of the state
| received In elementary agriculture and
nature study, and the impetus given to
| home gardening. BY work of this ma
ture, young people have an opportunity
to do their part in winning the war.
