Since the opening of the Mule Greek
field, which lies fifty-five miles north
of Lusk, grand rush for the new
found structure has been in progress
Salt Greek, the development of
which has been seriously hampered
since 1909 by the governments policy.
will undoubtedly leap to the front in
a campaign of active development.
That the Poison Spider oil field will
see a development campaign during
the coming summer, second to none
in the central part Of the state is the
belief of officials who plan to make a
thorough test of the field which con-
tains some of the largest gas wells in
the state and is considered virtually a
proven structure.
A bill has been introduced in the
Wyoming Legislature to prohibit what
is termed "wantOn waste" Of natural
gas by it's manufacture into carbon
black, an industry that has gained con-
siderable proportions at CrOwly, WyO.,
where gas from the Byron fields is
used for that purpose. Similar plants
are under construction, and it is stat
ed that the new industry is threatened
by the proposed measure. Wyoming
has more than a billion cubic feet Of
open flow gas per day in Sand Draw,
Buffalo Basin, Cody, Oregon Basin,
Elk Basin and Grass Greek, and plans
for carbon plants at each place are
we'll under way.
A we'll will be spudded in shortly on
the side of the Pine mountain, eighteen
miles west of Casper, by the Curtis
Petroleum Company, which already
has opened up large gas wells in the
series of synclines of which Pine
mountain is a part.
The Teapot syndicate we'll in the
Salt Creek field, adjoining land upon
which the Mosher unit drillers recently
brought in a well, has spudded in, ac-
cOrding to Frank Mclaughlin. Der
rick and tools. have been erected and
every arrangement, including casing

TAUGHT TO READ AT THREE.

Here is the story of how ingenious mother
taught her little son to read before he could talk
or walk properly. Although not three, he can
now read with accuracy and ease yet. a normal
baby In fact any boy or girl could be similarly
taught.
In this particular case the child began to notice
baby language what they were The letter H was
nointed out to him, and for time he was content
to look for this Next his mother taught him r
and A. these being selected as sufficiently differ
emf from H to avoid confusion. The idea of the
letters thus grasped, and 1t wasseasy to teach
the boy the entire remaining alphabet s
Then his mother began to print letters for him.
when he asked for pictures on pieces of paper.
This was called drawing Gradually; she combined
the letters in words suited to his experience, such
as .'horse" and "dog" Sometimes he tried to
draw the letters himself, achieving quite a credit
able H at twenty-six months. Also an occasional
A, f, e, o and L. t,g,-. s.lv,s .-ls-,
Gradually small letters instead Of capitals were
drawn for the words he recognized, and soon he
know that "dog" and DOG" meant the same.
Small cards used instead of bits of paper,
the words being drawn at the top. Thus, step by
sten he was taught the appearance of words and
letters until one day his mother took him on her
Ian and read q simple story to him, pointing to
eech word the appearance tof which had already
boen impressed on his mind by the card system
This reading continued for some time.
Then one evening his mother said, 'YOu read a
story to father" and the boy, pronouncing each
word without error, slowly, and with proper into
nation, read six lines of simple words without a
mistake.

grains, mixed feed, flour, meat and meat
products, dairy products, poultry and poul-
try products, and canned goods. The emer-
gency work of the United States department
of agriculture has emphasized intensive
home production with the result that Is
Southern states produced 141, ,787, 900 bush
els more corn in 1918 than they harvested
in 1909 The II states comprising the cot
ton belt produced 135 per cent more wheat
in 1918 than in 1909. These same states
during the same period increased their oats
crop 133 per cent; their hay yield 12S per
cent; Irish potatoes 1T per cent; and sweet
potatoes, 67 per cent.
