had good strong flows OF gas and
are headed for the Ponca sand, but
shallower production may be reach

watched.
The past week has shown little OF
Importance in the proven areas. A
number OF new locations and rigs
are building hut there has been no
completions out OF the usual or new

announce that they will drill at least

Empire Production Big.

Sixty-two thousand barrels OF
oil in one day.
That is the great record OF the
Empire Gas and Fuel Company in
Butler county. Kan, in the Edo
RADIO field during the latter part OF
last week. For the past week pro-
duction has remained close to the
10000 barrels.
This feat is considered the more
remarkable when it is taken into
consideration that most of this wa,
settled production. 1t is true that
three good wells on the Enyart
lease have just been brought in but
the majority of the wells are old
producers, the kind that keep up
steady flow.
Sixty thousand barrels of oil
would present about half of the
total daily output of the state OF
Kansas, or almost onefiith of the
entire output of the midcontnent
field. If this great body OF oil were
placed on tank cars it would take
800 cars which would extend two
miles and quarter.

Geology has won here, as it has
opened up the three fieldds. An
other reason that adds strength to
the movement is the finding OF
deeper producing sands in the field
four miles south of CARRIER, which
now has about eight sands in which
good production is found, The
deepest is 1882 feet, and the guess

The Chickasaw Refinery made
its first shipment last Friday, con
sisting of ten cars of fuel oil billed
to St. Louis, Mo. One unit, of
800 barrels capacity. is all that Is
being operated at present, but the
early part of this week will see an
other unit in operation, and within
80 days the third unit will be run
ming. Each OF these units has a
capacity of l,500 barrels. There
have been 80 men. on an average,
employed at this plant almost con
tinuously since last October, and
this payroll has proven very de
sirable addition to the business in
terests of Ardmore. ames K. Nc
Cormick, superintendent, and Geo.
p. Gleason, his assistant, are very
courteous to visitors at the plant,
and spare no pains to show the in
teresting points of the plant and
explain the processes by which the
crude oil is converted into ben
zine, naphtha. distiliate, kerosene
and fuel oils. A large dam has
been constructed which will i'm
pound the rainfall until a miniature
lake has been formed, and the sur
rounding country has been beauti-
fled by nature, SO that it is a nat
ural conclusion that this point will
be yisite dby many sightseers dur
ing the summer.
The Cameron Refinery IS nearing
completion and will be running oil
within the next ten days or two
weeks. The process is different
from that OF any other refinery in
this state, and this plant will be
another point Of interest to be Wis
tied this summer. In fact, the en-
tire Industrial Addition is bound
to be an attraction to sightscers
and autoists from this time on. The
drive from the city to the addition
will be popular drive, and
the grounds are being made almost
as attractive as park. The nat
ural beauties OF the place and the
interest attached to the industries
growing up there will attract the
people Of the city and they in turn
will want to show these places 70
their friends who may visit them
from other towns and cities. F. X.

erou plant. and his assistant. Chas.
Trimblc, are just as affablc toward
visitors as are the officials at the

MISSOURI FARMERS
HAD TO BE SHOWN
Patriotic Town Men Put One
Over

It's an odd sort Of situation for
men who want to work to be denied
that privilege, and to be forced to
sneak to their jobs and work sur
reptitiously, nocturnally, night
riderishly. Yes, it's odd, except in
the case of burglars and highway
men-and the men who adorn this
little tale were merely patriotic
business men of Nevada, Mo-, and
far removed in temperament and
practice from the ways of outlaws.
It happened in this wise: Des-
pite all the persistence with which
the United States Department of
Agriculture has explained the
farm-labor situation, the necessity
for town volunteers for farm work
and for the acceptance by farmers
of such emergency help, despite all
the preliminary campaigning, there
were some farmers here and there,
when the harvest came on this sum-
mer, who continued firm in their
prejudice against the proposal of
men from the towns for emergency
farm work.
''In" and From" Missouri
There were some farmers of this
kind around Nevada, Mo. The
wheat was ripe for the harvest.
The town men had organized for
farm work and were eager for it,
because, they knew it was patriotic
service. But 10! the farmers of the
county-or some Of them-declin-
ed emphatically to have anything
| to do with the proposition; they
wanted no soft town men coming
out to their farms; indeed, some
Of them most positively forbade it
And why?" insisted the United
States Department of Agriculture's
| farm-labor representative.
"No good, these town dudes
They can't do the work." said the
farmers.
But you don't know whether
they can do the work or not; you
haven't tried 'em."
Not goner try 'em. They CAM
do it."
Meanwhile, by reason of unusua
weather the wheat ripened all a

once instead of spreading out over
period of week or so. The farm
ers were cutting just as fast as
they could, but they couldn't get
the fields shocked. In town the
volunteers were chafing. They
knew the possible loss if the grain
wasn't shocked. They knew they
could do the work, and they want
ed to do it. They called special
meeting at the chamber of COM
merce.
There's just one thing to do,'
said the leader of the local farm
labor movement. "That's to go out
to these farms and do the work
anyhow! Once the farmers see we
can do it they'll be running after
us! But we've got to take the bit
in our teeth and show 'em! Well
start out late this afternoon, and
tonight we'll shock old man
Blanks field by moonlight he
doesn't wake up and run us off
with shotgun land tomorrow
We'll work on other fields and then
, the word will get out that we're
doing good work and the farmers
in this county will be begging us
to come!"
Advancing Under Darkness
So the town volunteers piled into
autos and trucks and started upon
their "work-anyhow" expedition
that night. They shocked old man
Blanks Is acres-he didn't wake
up and bother them with a barrage
and the next day they started out
openly, not stunning the eye Of
man, and without so much as a by
your-leave they simply went to
work shocking wheat in every field
they came to without fear or
favor!
Business began to pick up on the
rural telephones, and the party
lines did a rushing business. Wo-
men on the farms near town, where
the volunteers struck first, phoned
their more distant friends, and
presently the entire county knew
what was being done, and knew
that it was being done we'll. Mean
while old man Blank had called up
the chamber of commerce. He was
just bit dazed. He was uncertain
whether this was a miracle, or only
a hallucination, or just plain,
brazen interference by the soft
town dudes. The secretary, quite
cheerily, told him it was the latter
