Attempts Being Made to
Curtail Production at
Desdemona.

Desdemona, Tex, Aug. 25.-Because
Of sound business motives and the
rules Of the railroad commission.
every attempt is being made TO cur
tail production 10 the capacity OF the
pipe lines and tanks available. And
although potential production of this
pool is greater than the pipe line and
storage tank capacity, the great over
production so long anticipated in the
Desdemona pool. seems very remote.
The storing Of oil in eartnen tanks
means such great loss TO production
that the railroad commission has for
Didden this manner Of storage.
Many wells are on the sand, wait
ing until production can be handled
without waste, before completing.
Much Of the good area Of the pool
mas been leased, and the holders are
waiting TO develop this section until
production can be handled without
waste They are drilling in many in
stances only on the outer circle
where II is necessary to prevent off
sets BY adjoining owners. This in
dicates that IL will be years before
the pool becomes unproductive.
