MONTANA is GREATEST
OIL FIELD IN THE u. s.

Washington. Nov. 30-R. D. Ben
son of New York, president of the
Tide Water Oil Co., electrified gath
ering Of 700 of the biggest petroleum
men in the world when he declared
that the Montana oil fields are likely
to have greater production than any
other including the states of Oklaho-
ma, Texas and Louisiana, and is now
the backbone Of the industry.
Benson was reached on the pro-
gram after producers from all sections
of the country had been painting a
gloomy industry These men with the
world oil experts had declared that the
fields of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
California and Louisiana would be
drained dry in ten years. Benson said
that Montana is just as promising now
as Oklahoma was ten or fifteen years
ago. He said that the western fields
are farther from the great markets
both Of material and products than
any other field and this would prob
ably make for slower development.
He saw a benefit to the producer in
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1920-12-16

these fields from this, however, in
that prices would be higher when these
fields were fully worked. He spoke of
how Pennsylvania crude had been the
base from which prices were made in
1895, and the price in Oklahoma was
95 cents barrel. The price in 1919
was $2.75 barrel and he said that
Montana might be the base in the fu-
ture in making prices. No one could
predict, he said, what prices might be
but they were certain to be higher
than could be imagined now.
Mr.. Benson's address was the topic
of much discussion and Montana pros
poets were being talked in hotel lob
bies night and day. Late reports show
that the oil movements in Montana is
on in earnest. Oil leases under the
new leasing bill are being laid all over
the state.

GUERNSEY HERD LEADS
IN NORTH DAKOTA


North Dakota has never been con
sidered a dairy state. On, the con
trary, the mention Of the state tt
the outsider generally brings vision!
of snow banks, long-horned cattle ant
never-ending prairies.
The state has, however, been max
ing rapid progress along dairy lines
A great deal of real constructive work
has been done by the various state
agricultural agencies in cooperation
with the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Many pure bred herds are to be
found, and special progress has been
made in building up the grade herds.
Pure bred dairy sres at the head of
grade herds are found in every sec
ton in large numbers.
Considered from the standpoint of
production of dairy products, North
Dakota has in the past suffered in
comparison with neighboring states.
During the past five years, however,
creamery statistics show an enormous
increase in the states production Of
dairy products and if the ratio of in
crease keeps up, some Of the nadghbor-
ing states will have to look we'll to
their laurels.
One of the most conspicuous proofs
that the state is good dairy section
is found in the records made by
Guernsey herd owned by the Person
Stock Farm, near Minot. Official
testing has been carried on at this
farm for nearly five years and the
herd holds all state records in the two,
three and four year old and aged COW
classes as follows:

Minot is looted in the northwestern
part Of the state and when such rec
ords can be made, it is proof positive
that climatic conditions are favorable
in the entire state for dairying.
Major E. S. Person, the owner. and
Mr.. J. A. Sorensen, the manager, I'M
der whose direction these splendid
records were made both deserve great
credit for their achievement in dem
orstrating what can b accomplished
by careful breeding and skillful herd
management.
Mr.. Sorensen is graduate Of the
Minnesota School Of Agriculture and
was assistant instructor in the Dairy
Department of that institution for
several years.-FrOm the Milwaukee

doubtful If the contest will material
ize. Coach FIeischmann of the local
squad will have the boys in tip-top
shape in case the game can be played.
There is plenty of basketball material
at the high school and plenty of inter-

that the rest of the games in which
