Capitalists Form Company
to Drill for Oil on Land
Near Sweet Bay
w. J. Castell Interests Finan.
ciers in Possibilities for Oil
Developments Near
Morgan City

Mr.. w. J. Castell, well-known fl
nancier of New Orleans, has interest
ed a number of capitalists in the pos
sibilities for oil in his vicinity, and
has organized company to drill for
oil on his land in the Sweet Bay
Lake vicinity near here. Mr.. Castell
and a party OF these flnanciers were
here recently and the party went out
to the new field by boat TO examine
the indications. resulting in the sub
bcription of 100000 for the develop.
ment of the project.
This territory is Immediately adja~
cent to Morgan City, being reached
only by boat from this city. 1ndica-
tions pointing to possible strata of
oil underlying this section are TO be
found in this new field, as we'll as in
other sections surrounding Morgan
City. Drilling on Avoca by Peter &
Reed is going on steadily The drill
ers report that the work is slow and
tedious, and that it does not take
much to hamper the progress of the
project They have drilled to a depth
of several hundred feet There are no
indications of rock bed, which
would make further drilling impossi-
Bile.
Drilling on the Castell holdings has
not started as yet. due to the fact
that the rigging for the drill has not
been completely put up. The drillers
are also awaiting the arrival of ma
chinery for the purpose. The back
ers of the venture have high hopes Of
striking oil in flowing quantities i'll
this new field Mr. Castell owns sew
eral thousand acres in this territory.
There is every reason to believe
that the project will be successful,
for the reason that indications about
Morgan City point to a possible oil
strata. 1t has been reported from
authentic sources that oil has been
found exuding from the earth in this
city in a section where it was not
possible for the oil to have been put
on the surface. Gas, the foremost
indication of oil, underlies this city.
This fact is we'll known by citizens
of this community. Mr.. John Dalton,
Sr., once used gas in large quanti-
ty from a we'll sunk in the rear of his
ice factory. Gas has been also found
on Avoca. The fact that mineral gas
has been found on each side of Nor
gan City is evidence that there is
weight to the theory of those who
believe that Morgan City is the cen-
ter of an immense oil strata.

Swine Breeders Active
Along Many Lines

The Louisiana swine breeders be-
lieve in doing constructive things.
And they do not confine their activl
tiles to producing and distributing
fine hogs-although they might well
rest on their laurels in that line of
work for through their efforts pure
bred swine is being introduced into
all sections of the State-but attack
some Of the larger problems affecting
the livestock industry as a whole.
At their annual meeting held at the
Louisiana State University in Janu-
airy, 1918, the swine breededs decided
that certain legislative measures were
necessary to the proper growth and
development of the livestock industry
of the State, and, having agreed on
what was needed, they set out to have
these measures passed. The result
was that out of IL measures advocat-
ed by them, 10 were passed by TIE
legislature last summer.
At the meeting held at the Univer-
sity February u, 1919, the swine
breeders put in motion plans for a
general gathering in Baton Rouge
bext summer of all livestock interests
of the State. 1t is proposed that this
meeting be held about the time of the
farmers short course. Its purpose
will be to unify the efforts of all live
stock and agricultural interests with
the view of improving conditions af-
fecting these industries, especially
marketing conditions, for the lack of
proper market facilities is said to be
the greatest handicap to the livestock
industry in Louisiana.

Bert Lytell in New
Metro Production

Bert Lytell, the Metro star VINO
has flashed into flame on the screen
in the same meteoric manner in
which he attained success on the
stage, will be seen today at TIL Opera
House in gripping drama of inter
est heart appeal, Faith" story of
love and humanity.
The play tells the story of young
man who has drifted from the good
influences of life and settles down to
a narrow, hum-drum existence which
kills enthusiasm and ambition and
leaves him content with the crumbs
of life.
Although he is content to exist in
this manner the two women who have
an intense interest in his life decide
chat it is faith and love that is lackJ
ing to bring to the heights of achieve
ment. How they accomplish this and
the beauty of the romance which
completes the story is beautifully
told in this Dripping drama of human
hopes and happines and Mr.. Lytell
is seen in role which gives him
great scope for his versatile dramat-
ic ability. With him are seen such
artists as Rosemary Theby, Edythe
Chapman, Edwin Stevens and Nancy
Chase. The story was written by
Richard Washburn Child and adapt
ed for the screen by George D. Ba-
ker and A. c. Kenyon. The produc-
tion was directed by Charles Swick-
ard under the supervision of George
D. Baker

Good Bye Ants, This is
No Place For You

The Chamber of Commerce is in re-
ceipt of data from Mr. Barber, who
ber, of the Bureau of Entomology Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, dwelling upon the method
for ridding Morgan City of the Ar
entine and pest Mr.. Barber, who
has headquarters in New Orleans, ad-
vises that the best time to go after
the ants is in August, when they have
increased their numbers to the maxi
MUM capacity.
You will understand" says Mr..
Barber in his letter to the Chamber
of Commerce, 'that in sumer the
ants have a great deal of natural
food, and at that time of the year
are increasing their numbers to their
maximum capacity. At this time it
is difficult to make a poisoned food
to take the place of their natural
food. In the fall and winter this ma
tural supply drops. The ants have
reached their maximum numbers and
can be poisoned very readily at
this time. 1t you contemplate con-
certed action, I would be glad to
come out to Morgan City and give
you what aid / can to make sue
cessful campaign as has been car
ried on in a number of southern
cities"
Mr.. Barber included in his
letter formula for poison
ing the ants, and though he recon-
mends that the campaign be carried
out in the fall of the year, he advises
that relief can be had at any time Of
the year by using the poison. !
The Chamber of Commerce has
no definite plans for carrying out
campaign to rid Morgan City Of
ants, but he is ready at all times to
render whatever assistance he can to
help in this matter. The formula can
be secured by calling at the office Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
