CORN BELOW DOLLAR MARK

Warm weather and favorable crop
conditions are ascribed for declines
in corn futures, which have carried
prices at Chicago and at st. Louis
below the dollar mark for the first
time in three years. December op-
tions in both cities closed at 80 IA
and 80 1-2 cents, showing declines
of from six to nine cents below for
mer prices. AT Kansas City, where
corn futures recently went under the
dollar mark, December options re-
ceded further to 90 SIS cents.

ENCOURAGE
Oil DEVELOPMENT

Pioneers in the oil discoveries in
White Pine county are doing good
work; and although present efforts
1ro net meeting with the support they
should, there is no man can say what
lie future has in store, says the Ely
Daily Times.
The story of the petroleum industry
in the United States extends back
sixty years. On August %, 1859, oil
vas struck in the Drake well, e
Titusyille, in northern Pennsylvania;
and when pumping began oil flowed
in a tiny stream of forty, and later
only fifteen, barrels a day. But since
that day of small things the tide of
oil has mounted higher and higher.
Five million barrels were produced
in 1870, 5000, 900 barrels in 1880.
5000, 900 in 1890, $4,000. 900 in 1900,
200, 000, 900 in 1910, and $50, 000, 900
barrels in 1918, with the output for
1919 showing another increase of 3d.
000, 900 barrels. The crest of this
flood may have been reached, but new
territory is being discovered each
year, with oil indications as great as
a of the old locations.
The geologist may maintain a high
average in locating drills, when once
a field is proved, but discovery of the
greatest fields is not credited to sci
ence; it is the work of determined
men with loyal support and the
hunter whose weapon is a drill to
bring in a field.

FALLON EXPECTS MUCH FROM
NEXT YEARS CROP OF BETS

Fred Hinze. manager of the Lahon-
tan Valley Sugar Company. owning
the beet sugar factory at Fallon, said
recently that farmers of the project
are sending in new contracts for 1921
beet acreage daily, and that indica-
tions now point to a successful and
extended manufacturing campaign
next year.
There is no doubt, according to Mr..
Hinze, about the local farming view
point. Farmers generally realize, he
said, the urgency of a new farm pol
icy in this valley which will bring a
change from one one-crop program
of the past few years and introduct a
diversified production, chief among
which will be sugar beets. The pecu-
liar adaptability of the sugar beet to
the projects environs a sea-
sonal production of the highest pur-
ity and sugar content, which means in
turn that farmers here will profit
from these dispensations,- [Fallon
