The State of Kentucky is the
happy hunting ground of the oil
prospectors of small means, yet the
outcome of his endeavors does not
always make him happy. The per-
centage of unsuccessful tests i'll the
State is somewhat high-about 19
per cen.-compared with the aver
age for the country as whole
which is about 16 per cent, but
the oil is found at relatively shall
low depths, commonly 900 to 100
feet, and the cost of drilling wells
is low. The rAck outcrops in the
State are pleantiful, and the areas
where the geologic conditions are
most favorable to the occurrence of
oil can be found easily.
The most productive group of oil
fields in Kentucky is in the vicinity
of Irvine, Estill County, and is de-
scribed in Bulletin 661-D of the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior, pulished
in 1916. The second richest group
lies in and around Allen County
more than n hundred miles south
west of Irvine. The fields in Allen
County are the subject of a report
by T.. w. Shaw and K. F. Mather
Just issued by the Geological Sur
vey as Bulletin 6SS, and available
on request from the Director.
A barrel of oil obtained in Allen
County was sold in Bowling Green
in 1850. but oil in Kentucky has
only recently become a product of
great commercial value, the pro-
duction in 1918 having been ten
times as great as in 1915. The oil
In Allen County is irregularly scat
tered through the productive area,
and great many of the wells have
therefore been failures. but on the
whole the county appears TO be
nbout as rich In oil as nny other
county in the Stat except Estill and
Lee.

He was outpointed in that contest, however In the first round, which went to Miske, the St. Paul battler landed two solid blows to Jacks jaw, and although Miske put all his strength behind the blows they were not hard enough to topple over Jack During the bout Miske proved the better boxer, while Dempsey showed that more ring experience would do him no harm.
 How Miske would fare in a long bout is the cause of much specula tion Dempsey has death-dealing blow in either hand and if Miske succeeds in lodging them during the first ten rounds many believe he has a good chance of staying on his feet the rest of the route. In the early going the St. Paul heavyweight may wear down Dempsey, and this may pave the road for a victory for Miske later on. As to height and weight both appear about evenly matched. Dempsey is fraction of an inch short of six feet, while Miske towers six feet Jack, when he fought Gunboat Smith in Buffalo couple of weeks ago, weighed 190 pounds while Miske weighs about 1S5

Greater emphasis will be laid this year upon the Scotch method of cur ing Alaska herring, according to H.. J. Christoffers, Alaska Agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries with offices in Seattle.
 Alaska packers were advised last year to employ the Scotch method, but the majority of them employed the Norwegian method instead, with the result that they found less sale for their product and received a lower price for that which they dis posed of" said Christoffers Scotch cured herring sold for SIT a barrel, while the Norwegian cured herring brought from $10 to S13.
 "The Scotch meahod is mild-cure system. In putting down herring according to the Norwegian system the fish are heavily pickled
 Demonstrators will be sent to Al. aska this year to give instruction in the Scotch system"
 Christoffers said that the canning of herring promises to become an important industry.
 "A, few samples of canned herring were put up last year and they have all taken we'll" he said.
 'The herring are cleaned and put up in cans, the same as salmon. This eventually will become an important industry"
