BUREAU OF MINES REPORT
ON HEWITT FIELD MAY BE
OUT BY FEBRUARY l, 1921

The oil fraternity Of Carter county
will be glad to learn that the United
States Bureau of Mines report on the
Hewitt field is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and is almost ready now for
revision and correction by eminent
engineers.
There is a great possibility that the
report will be published by the local
Chamber of Commerce, and II it is,
it will be In the hands Of all who
desire It by February 1st, 1921.
The report will contain a mass of
information on the Hewitt field, and
besides, a full description and ack-
nowledgment of the Ardmore oil men,
Chamber of Commerce, and all 9TH
ers who so cordially co-operated witt
the bureau, during its work in this
vicinity.
The above information Is contained
in a letter from T. f. Swigart. the
engineer who was in charge Of the
work at Hewitt, and who Is now as
sistant to the chief petroleum tech
nologist of the bureau at Washington
d. c.
The paper will be entirely ethical
from an engineering viewpoint.

docks of the West African port of Dakar
became literally choked with mer-

To remedy this the first steps were
taken to cross the desert by means
of automobile roads and trucks In

GErTINC pETTER STOCK.

About the first thing that may be done toward getting better stock and better homes is to check up on conditions as they are and see the many ways in which they may be improved But most people are not able to make the best of what they have. A man who lets his buildings and fences fall down, pays no attention to rotation of crops. lets his manure leach away into the creeks, forgets or neglects to feed and care for his stock regularly and let shis wife go out to pump water and split wood is apt to instill into the minds of his children the idea that mo- body is ever a farmer who is smart enough to be something else. On the other hand, one who maps out his course and lets no season go by without making some improvements in his way of doing things will surely find himself getting better ani- mals and gaining in self-respect and i'm portancet not only to himself but to the community as we'll.
 Gradual continuous livestock improve ment has been practiced for many years by the most successful livestock farmers everywhere. Improving livestock grading up, eliminating the scrub, etc. is merely following the practice of those successful men who for years have been keeping the best and breeding the best to the best" It is well known that a good COW, for example, bred to good pure bred bull, wiIl usually produce good calf. It is also well known that better bull bred to a better COW Will produce a better calf. and this applies to other kinds of livestock,
