Does It Pay To Disc The Ground?

Does It Pay To Disc The Ground?
If it is profitable to pillow early,
why is it not better to follow the
binder with a disc and then pillow
later in the fall?
The scientific farmer says, fol-
low the binder with a tandem
disc, pulverize the soil and create
a mulch on top to conserve the
moisture.
If you follow the binder with a
disc in August, and it rains, all
the wild oats and other seed will
grow while you are stacking or
threshing.
In August there are millions
of cracks in the ground; tons
upon tons of moisture will es-
cape from the ground during
August and September.
Disc the ground to cover the
cracks.
on serve the moisture.
Disc the ground to create a
mulch. Disc to give the foul seed
a chance to grow in the fall.
Is the discing and packing
idea profitable and if it is, why
is there so little of it done?
This subject has to do with
tractor farming.
We believe if it is profitable to
disk after the binder, then it is
profitable to own a tractor.

 "At a regular meeting of our board, held April 9th, your letter of Feb. 21st., re- garding a night policeman and the installation of cleo tric lights at various points, was brought to our attention. In reply to same we wish to state that, as our budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, did not carry funds for these purposes, we could not put on this service at the present time; consequently we are deferring the matter until such time as action can be taken on it.

Frank J. Brundage, whose home is in Farmerville, near Visalia, California, arrived in town on Monday for the purpose of starting opera tions in building a fence around an immense pasture of 1O8, OOOacres 30 miles east of Holbrook which he owns or controls. About half of it is state land which he has under lease.
 The country in that vicinity is fine for COWS, there being of good grass and brush, and the protection of the fence will prevent the cattle which roam the free from spelling it. The fence will be built under con- tract by J. Farley Richards and will cost about $250 Ea mile.

 to the 2,000-foot point, if neces-
 sary, although it is expected to
 have a pay well before that depth is reached. The Clampltts are known as among the most eX- perienced and successful well drlllers in the country and it is believed there will be little time lost when once they get busy.
 It is suspected that the Wind River people are not overly anx- ious to bring in the Hopi we'll until they have added to their already immense holdings here. but if they should decide to con- test for the honor of first reach ing the oil sands the race be- tween them and the CIampitts on the Adamana will be worth watching. The Clampitts have drilled many wells for the s. P. and Santa F'e railways and are the principal owners of a pro- ducing oil company.
 In the more westerly portion of the field a large Los Angeles company is to take over part of the Richards-Owens lease from the Hopi Securities company. They have contracted for stand ard drilling rig and have signed up to have it in operation very shortly.
 That portion of the Holbrook field lying north of the Little Colorado river is receiving more attention at this time than it did in the past. A Pittsburg en- gineer, who was here some weeks ago. was very favorably i'm pressed with it's possibilities, and his good report was followed by that of other geologists. Prac- tically all of the government land in that section has been staked and among the names on the locations is that of Dorsey Hager, the well-known geologist, who is noted for extreme con- servatism.
 The derrick and camp buildings of the Holbrook Oil company are practically completed and Man ager Warden says that actual drilling will begin next week.

Carload after carload of ma. chinery, toals and casing have been arriving here during the last few days for the Wind River Producing and Refining com pany, and within a short time everything should be ready for completing the Hopi we'll to the oil sands. The equipment which the Hopi had. while heavy for a standard drill ten years ago. is considered too light by the Wind River people. who are putting ln a heavier boiler and engine, as welt as heavier drilling stems and bits. They are getting in full sets of tools and equipment to enable them to carry out large plans of development. together with 10-inch and other casing, and two miles of tWo-inch piping for the water line. They are also busting Tn an extra heavy pump and pumping plant to take the place of the lighter one here tofore in use.
 The machinery which has been received by the Wind River peo- pie is more than ample for pres ent needs at the Hopi well, and it is>known that they contem- plate developing not only the big acreage which they secured from the Hopi company and the Aztec Petroleum Securities company, but also lands secured from oth- CTS, aggregating some 35. 900 acres in all. They are under contract to begin drilling the acreage obtained from the Aztec Petroleum company within 60 days and part of the equipment received here is no noubt intend ed for that purpose.
 Since thelr entry into the Hol- brook field, the stock of the Wind River company has advanced on the open market a total of 66 per cent, and as they had previously big holdings in three of the best and proven fields, the quick ad- vance at this time is looked upon by the talent" as highly com pllmentarv to Holbrook.

The free lecture on "Prac- tical Mineralogy for the Pros pector," which is to be given at the High school on Mon day evening, May 9th, by George R.

MT.
 Fansett is eminently prac- tical and handles the demon stration in such a way that anyone after attending the lecture should be able to make the tests himself, and thus discover if there are any valuable minerals in rocks which he finds later.
