NO SURE CURE FOR "FLu."
SAYS PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The use of
vaccines in combating Spanish in
fluenza is not beyond the expert
mental stage SO far as the United
States Public Health Service has been
able to learn. In a statement tonight
the public warned against sure cures
being advocated for the malady which,
according to reports, is rapidly sub
siding in army camps and decreasing
in many states among the civilian
population. In Georgia the disease is
said to be increasing IN some of the
large cities. but lessening in the rural
sections.

NEED IS STILL
GREAT FOR A MAX
IMUM PRODUCTION
UNITED STATES MUST SUPPLY
THE WORLD WITH FOODSTUFS
FOR SOME TINE TO COME.

An appeal to the farmers of the
state not to let their Joy over the COM
ing of peace interfere with their plans
for keeping production a. 9 maximum
is being made by Prof. Robert s. Shaw
dean Of agriculture at M. A. c., at
Lansing, and director of the expert
ment station. For at least another
year, declares the dean, the nations of
the world must look to this country
for much Of their food supply.
"The American farmer" according
to the dean. deserves much credit for
his great response in the form of
enormous crop production to the vital
wartime needs of the country during
the season just closed. His service
has been notably patriotic one, and
not the result merely Of an endeavor
to reap material reward. The far
mer, his wife and his children have
labored severely throughout the day.
light hours in this great patriotic eff
fort with only moderate remuneration
per labor hour.
"But even though the war has ceas-
ed, the farmer will still be under a
double duty of patriotism and merci-
fulness to produce an enormous crop
again for at least one more season,
for military needs, apparently, must
continue through another year. The
American farmer also is being ap-
pealed to relieve the pangs of hunger
prevailing throughout the recently
warning countries.
1t is true that producers from the
soil suffer severely from over-produc-
tion but in this coming year, it now
appears there will be nothing of this
sort to fear. There should be no
slackening in American agricultural
production, despite the fact that hos
tilities apparently have ceased.

Wildcat COmnlefions.

during the month of January there
was completed in the state Of Oklahoma
total of twenty-five wells in the wild
cat district. OF this number there were
three small oil producers and five gas
wells. The new production from these
wells is estimated at about ninety bar.
rels and from the gas wells about twenty.
live million cubic feet Of gas The
principal well of the latter class is the
Keys well in section % 1s10w, which
alone is credited with about ten million
feet. Among the wells classed as fail
ures there are few that probably will
be drilled deeper before being finally
abandoned. There are two chief reasons
why these wells will not be drilled fur.
'her at the present time-lack of water
and the very severf weather conditions
There is at this time a total Of 3l5
wildcat wells now under rig in Okla
homa. About go per cent of these wells
are IN the drilling stage. OF the num-
Der Of drilling wells, there are at least
half shut down for various reasons.
1ore wildcatting is going on in the
southwestern part Of the state at this
time than ever before, and very few of
these wells have made any progress for
the past two months or more. on ac
count of shortage Of water. Even in
the proven territory there is a water
shortage, but this has been overcome
10 a certain extent by laying water
lines over the open fields for several
miles. Since thl recent blizzard, all
these lines will have to be replaced with
new pipe and Of course this will curtain
drilling operations quite a bit.
None Of the important wildcat com
pletions during the month proved a
success. The Cosden Oil and Gas Com
pany's test IN the western part Of the
state. near Alva, has been abandoned at
total depth Of $500 feet This only
means that drilling in this immediate
vicinity will not be worth while and no
new tests will be started there any
ime soon.

though, will not justify additional drill
