SAYS HARDWARE PRICES
WILL DROP IN SPRING
Tremain. Association Head, Also
Predicts Decline in Wage
Scale.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J., October 81.
Robert G. Tremain of Ithaca. ". Y.
president of the National Hardware
Association. in an address before a
joint session of that body and the
American Hardware Manufacturers
Association last night, declared that
the general level of retail prices
would be maintained until next spring
or summer. when the general public
should begin to feel the effects of the
decline
mo readjustment process will be
thoroughly accomplished" he de-
clared, until retail distributors go
through practically the same expert
ence as producers of raw materials
and manufacturers have gone. So far
as the moving of merchandise and
liquidating Of inventories is con-
cerned, the deflation process has only
really begun, and we must expect that
it will take months and perhaps a
few years before it is completed. In
this process We must expect some
reduction in the wage scale. So large
a proportion of the cost of articles
may be traced to labor that there can
be no real or permanent defiation
completed until wage def1ation takes
place."
Mr.. Tremain declared that IL immi :
grafton continued at the present rate
1t would tend toward lower wages.

The Best Places to Drill.
The best place TO prospect for oil
in a region where it is known to exist
is a place where the beds Of rock show
"anticlinal structure"-that is, where
the beds are bowed upward into an
arch or, as il is called by biologists,
an "anticline." An anticline may per-
haps be detected by the unframed
man, but he is very likely to confuse
the structure of the beds with the
/ form of the surface of the ground and
so be misled. In some parts of the
United States even a carefully train
ed geologist of large experience may
be unable to locate anticlines without
doing painstaking work with survey
ing instruments. In many regions the
folds that form arches or domes in
oil bearing formations can not be dis
covered in advance of drilling.
Depth of Wells.
The depth at which oil may be
found is apparently limited only by the
depth to which men can sink hole.
In some fields productive oil wells are
only 100 feet deep. In others most of
the wells are more than 5000 feet
deep. and some go down more than A.
900 feet Perhaps petroleum may be
obtained from depths of 5000 feet or
more but the cost of drilling to such
a depth is not now justified by the
probable returns of the investment.
Yield Of Wells.
Most Of the wells drilled within the
limits of an oil pool yield enough oil
make them paying investments. The
quantity of oil a well will yield de-
Ponds upon the total quantity in the
oil filled openings in the bed. the char
acter of the oil, the depth and size of
the well, and many other factors, not
all of which can be determined IN adj
vance of drilling.
Pools vary greatly both in size and
in yield. Some are so small that only
an acre or two of land is productive.
Others may be as much as twenty
five miles long and five miles broad,
large pools include barren or
dry spots The average pool is prob
ably not more than two or three miles
long and a mile to a mile and a half
wide. A large pool may produce not
more than 1000 or 5000 barrels of
Oil If it yielded less IL would hardly
be dignified with the name of pool
On the other hand, the output of a
large pool is measured in millions of
barrels. For a period in 1916 the
field of Oklahoma yielded
more than 100000 barrels a month,
and some single wells in other coun-
tries have yielded between 10000 and
100000 barrels a day. although the
largest well in the United States pro-

Outlook Good For Fine
Corn Crop This Year

Present indications are for by far
the largest and best corn crop in a
number of years from the Makawao
and Kula districts. There is also a
larger acreage than usual this year
in the Maui corn belt, and it is look,
ing about as good as could be desired.
Much Of it is now in the milk" and
is practically beyond the critical
stage. Later paintings have had
sufficient rain at the right time and
are coming along splendidly. About
6 weeks ago there was much uneasi-
ness among the farmers on account
of the drought, but rain came just at
the right time.
The Maui corn crop has been short
for several years past on account of
unfavOrable weather. Apparently
about the only thing that could seri,
ously injure the present crop would
be severe wind or a clOud-burst be
fore the crop can be harvested.
