GREAT INTEREST IN
|L[|PAH OIL FIELD

Considerable interest is being taken
in the Illipah field these days all over
the country. Magazines, newspapers,
oil journals and oil men from every
part of the country are writing for
information, says the White Pine
News. One operator, now drilling at
st. George, Utah, writes that he will
be there soon to go over the field and
if it looks good will try to secure
ground and put up a standard rig at
once.
The Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal of New York publishes a special
article in its issue of March IL, on
the possibilities of oil in Nevada, and
stated: Substantial people and peo-
pie who should know oil have become
interested"
The New York Record recently
gave the Illipah field a half-page and
especially emphasized the fact that
a we'll financed and efficiently man.

ME- Editor! 5%5
AS you know. and everyone knows
all farm products have deprecated
greatly in price In the last few months,
and while attending the recent County
Farm Bureau meeting at Grand Forks,
7 was somewhat surprised and amused
at the number of sane farmers and
some business men I met who really
think that by some kind of Organiza-
ton, farm bureau, or grain growers
combine, the farmers can control and
set the price of wheat and other farm
products, regardless of supply and de-
mand, and financial conditions In this
and other countries.
I and that there are, a large majority
of men who honestly think that the
price Of wheat can be fixed at the
average cost of production plus a fair
profit. / find Also hat most all of
them hold the Chamber of Commerce,
Boards of Trade. and grain gamblers"
responsible for the recent decline in
grain prices, entirely forgetting that
the greatest war in the worlds his
tory was responsible for the extra
ordinary high prices of most every
thing in recent years; also. forgetting
the fact that war has always caused
prices to be high in the case of farm
products as we'll as other commodities.
/. They also seem to have forgotten that
the great war has been over for more
thar two years.
This is q big subject, and volumes
could be written on it, but l know you
would not want to give me space to
discuss it.; but 1 will greatly appre-
!ciate sufficient space in the Herald tc
tell why I disagree with the majority
Of farmers and some business men.
