c.alist in agricultural engineering at
State college. 1t is true that paint is
high in price but SO is building mater
ial II the old buildings can be paint
ed UP and made to last longer. 1t will
pay bigger than ever before. II the
buildings r put up new. 1t is more
important than ever that they be well
painted. The building that stands
without paint for a while will require

Mobndge Selected Site
For State Power Plant

Pierre, April 29.-After having in
v~estigated all the proposed sites for
the erecting of the state owned hydro
electric plant somewhere along the
Missouri river the engineers commits
stoned by the state to consider the
project have submitted a report which
names Mobridge as first choice for To-
cation of the plant and Mulehead as
second choice.
The report, however. does not re-
commend immediate action ON the
project The proposed plant was pro-
yided for in a constitutional amend
ment passed in 1916 and the legislat-
ure of 1917 appropriated a sun to be
used for investigation OF various pro-
posed sites. No appropriation for the
bull ling of the plant has yet been
allotted.

Crop Outlook In State
For 1920 Reported Good

Pierre, April 29.-Reports from the
northwest portion OF the state show
that 1t war never better soaked than
/, is this spring. For the past two
wears that part of the state has SUI
fered from dry weather conditions,
but this year they will start with the
ground in shape to give them an I'M
mense grass crop, and with normal
rains for the rest of the summer can
feel certain of a return for their eff
forts. But while the storms have
been an immense benefit to the Sec
ton as a whole. they have been hard
on stock owners in many cases. On
account OF the feed shortage many
owners had been feeding oil cake
This kept the stock through the win
ter but one OF the results of this feed
ing was the early shedding of the AMI
mails and when the later spring storms
came along they only had their new
growth of hair to protect them and
th;s made Il harder for them to stand
the effects of the storms.
Reports from the central and north
ern parts of the state place the per-
centage Of crop Of small grain seeded
at from ten to fifty in varying loca-
ions. This means that either there
win be q late harvest or that many
who intended to SOW small grain will
change their acreage to corn. The
weather the past ten days has practi-
cally put q stop to all seeding work
and il will take several warm days tc
put the ground into workable shape
again.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
MAY Is and IA
Parents Invited To Visit School and
Inspect Work

The Manual Training department
will have an exhibit of all the work
done during the year. Work will also
be on exhibit from several Of the
grades in drawing. writing and other
subjects. The exhibit will be open
to visitors from four to six In the
afternoons and from seven to nine In
the evenings of May Is and IA. It is
hoped that all the parents will come
and see what has been done In the
several departments of work. The
boys and girls think a good bit of what
they have done and an appreciation
by the parents will go a long ways
towards stimulating the boy and girl
TO doing better work hereafter.

OF filth may help to get 1t started.
The treatment is entirely preventive.
Keep the sows and pigs out Of the

The Gainesville people have re-

company that they will approve an
advance in the price Of natural gas
from As to 67kc u thousand cubic
feet. Other north Texas towns have
taken similar action. Gas men state
that they must pay more at the well
for gas, the operators must have more
money, the gas companies must pay
better salaries than they paid a few
years back and the time OF cheap
gas is gone. 1t is believed by many
that If producers had always received
as much as loo at the wells that the
state would have been better Off

wells selling for Sc the companies
nave mudded in wells and failed to
develop gas sands. The gas compan-
les in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and in
other cities have issued notices warn
ing the people to provide themselves
with coal for use in emergencies. The
local gas company will do the same
thing. While it is possible for Ard
more to go through the winter with.
out any other fuel besides gas yet
there is a chance that there will not
be enough gas to take care of the
situation in some Of the worst spells
of weather just when gas is needed

to three gallons. There Is no doubt
that shortage is due to insufficient
production. however. a greater GUAM
tity Of gasoline would reach the con
sumner IL the operators would exer-
else greater precaution and not al.
low huge quantities Of the gas to
go to waste.
An actual test, made in the Hewitt
field recently revealed the fact that
5000 gallons Of gasoline could be
extracted from gas now being allowed
to escape from $50 producing wells,
Each Of these wells is making an
average Of 1926, 900 cubic feet of gas,
or an approximate total OF 90 900, 900
cubic feet.
After over a years experimenting
by the United States Bureau Of Mines
it has been definitely concluded that
6 per cent by volume of production
is lost by evaporation from the time
the oil is produced in the we'll, until
it reaches the refinery.
Taking the production Of 25, 900 bar
rels in the Hewitt field, the loss by
evaporation amounts to 1900 barrels
per day. In warm weather the loss
due to this evaporation amounts tc
1000 gallons of gasoline to every 1,O0(
barrels Of oil produced. Taking 2 5000
barrels produced in the Hewitt fielC
alone, the loss amounts to so, 900 gal
Ions Of gasoline per day.
This waste could be eliminated i
the operators would install the proper
systems Of tankage, and employ othe,
precautionary methods which are a
their disposal. The United State
Bureau Of Mines are striving to brins
about this conservation. Unless tn
oil men follow out their suggestion!
where necessity demands, the gov
eminent will have to employ ~stringen
methods to prevent the fluid from
going beyond reach in price, or Il
keep up production sufficient to sup
ply demand.
