government Expert Arrives
To Analyze Every Acre In
Parish.

tiOns that VIII plooaoly uledli llOle
10 Washington parish from an
agricultural standpoint than any
step taken in years has actually
been begun
A.C. Anderson, soil and geolog-
zeal expert of the United States
government, is in Bogalusa, and
is making plans for an exhaus-
tive survey Of the lands of the
parish. The survey will take
about one year to complete, Mr..
Anderson says.
Mr.. Anderson will 60 over every
bit Of land in the parish, Sam
ples of soil will be taken and soil
formation investigated.
The result will be that it will be
instantly possibl9 to tell what
each section Of the land il this
parish is test suited for.
In making his examination,
Mr.. Anderson will divide the par
i.h into 40 acre strips, aud take
them one at time. When this
has been completedj the soil an
slyzed and the strata studied, a
map of the parish will be made.
This map will show every
stream and every public road in
the parishi will distinguish the
high and low lands, and show the
different types of soil by colors,
and give their technical and com
mon names. The map will be
printed and will be for distribu-
ton to any who want it.
This examination of the soil of
Washington Parish has been
wanted for some time. The gov.
srnment will make such a sur
vey in any parish provided the
tsate pays one.half of the cost,
which runs well up into thousands
Of dollars.
The question of making a sur.
Vey of Washington parish has
been taken up by Harry Wilson,
commissioner of agriculture, be-
fore the Legislature, but it was
found that the state had no funds
to pay its pro.rata Of the cost of
the survey.
With its interest primarily in
the development of Washington
parish, the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company then offered to pay
the states share of the cost of a
survey, and this offer was accept
cd. So the Great Southern is
paying several Thousands of dol
lars that farmers of this section
may know just what they can
raise most profitably.
This survey will be particularly
useful in furthering the cause of
teforestation in the parish. The
treat Southern has no desire to
fetorest cut.over lands that will
% Deter for agriculture, but on

COMPANY EXPECTS TO GET OIL THE LEGAL REPRESENTA-.

TO SINK ANOTHER CASING
Well Now Yielding Natural Gas Viii Eventually Bring in Oil in Pay ing Quantities Is the Be-
 lief of Officials.

Little Rock. That the Cons an tine well near Fl Dorado, which now Is yielding natural gas, eventually Will bring in oil in paying quantities is the belief Of the Constantine Oil and Re- fning Company officials Judge N. c. Marsh of Fl Dorado, a legal 1epresep- tative of that company. said nere. Judge Marsh said the time required to control the well cannot be estimat- ed at this time. He went into the his tory of what he calls the freak per formance of the Constantine veil He said. whimsically, tha, any oil well can do all the things other oil wells have done. and also can invent new tricks by way of keeping the game lively.
 Day and night crews are now work ing on the Constantine pumping mud ing on the theory that the casing of the well has broken somewhere and that the gas craters around the well are formed from gas that has gone through the pipe far below ground and has found it's way to the surface through water veins. The gasser that caught fire went out because the gas stopped flowing It is believed the mud pumped into the well stopped this gasser. but has not yet reached other breaks lowcrEdown. Red clay Is being pumped into the we'll and there is no red clay coming out of the oth- CT geysers, and no red stains on the water. which leads the workers to conclude that all the breaks have not been stopped.
 When the we'll has been filled with mud. according to tine plans outlined by Judge Marsh, the company intends to run another casing down inside the one already placed, working It down through the mud, and plan to reach the oil level past the gas Velh. Judge Marsh said the Constantine company has a good many leases Tn that county and is not selling any o' them.

 He bought the card addressed it to his best girl. and signed his name Then under the touching scene he wrote: "Eventually-Why not now? Then he mailed it.

The MineIaYina System.

Admiral William $. Sims writes in the Worlds Work: If you had been following one of the mine layers while it operates. you would probably have been surprised at the apparent sim plicity of the task. The vessel was going at it's full speed; at intervals of few seconds, huge black objects, about five feet high, would be observed gliding toward the stern; at this point they would then give mighty lurch, fall head first into the water, sending up great splash, and sink beneath the waves. By the time the disturbance was over the ship would have ad- vanced a considerable distance: then, in a few seconds, another black Ob- ject would roll toward the stern, make a similar plunge and disiippear.'
