ALMO OIL FIELD
Correspondent Tells OF Prospects for
Oil Wells, Mica Mines, Railroads
And August Ice Cream In 1921.

1920 bids us of the Almo Oil Field |
a smiling farewell as our great year
Of Hope. 1921 beams upon us as
our great year OF Realization.
1t has been ascertained beyond a |
doubt that there is a very high grade |
of oil here. The Oasis company will
resume work as soon as the weather
will permit.
The Crystal Oil company will be-
gin soon after the New Year to full
fill their contracts to drill for oil on
the lands leased.
} 1t is widely reported that the rail-
road will be extended from Idahome
through the Almo Oil Field to Lu-
cine, Utah, this spring. The survey
cuts through many farms here.
Dan Spencer of Salt Lake, one of
the capitalists interested in oil here,
has also ben investigating our pros
poets for a big industry in mica
mining. He called upon Owen Fair
child of the Cliff ranch, and they
went to Salt Lake City last week
with specimens Of mica which prov
e dto be valuable. Mr. Spencer
thinks the company now being or.
ganized can begin work in the mines
by the first of March
Victor Spencer, the stockman, was
out making pleasant calls on friends
last week. He is enthusiastic over
our prospects for oil and mica and
railroads.

A two-year study of the cost of
milk production undertaken coopera-
lively by the United States Dairy
Division and Purdue University, on
a number of dairy farms in northwes-
tern Indiana, has resulted in figures
on the requirements for producing 100
pounds of milk in winter and in sum-
mer. To give permanent value to the
results, these requirements. were de-
termined in pounds of feed, hours Of
labor, etc., and by substituting present
costs and values for the various items
a farmer can determine very closely
what it is costing him to produce 100
pounds Of milk at the present time.
Reduced to Figures
In the summer months the require
ments for 100 pounds Of milk were
as follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds;
dry roughage, 27.4 pounds; silage
and other %succulent roughage, COL
pounds; hauling and grinding concen-
~trates, $0.014; pasture, 00.04 acre;
human labor, 2:2 hours; horse labor,
OF hour; overhead and other costs,
$O.39S.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 1876 pounds; dry roughage,
66.S pounds; silage and other succu-
lent roughage, 1875 pounds; hauling
and grinding concentrates, 5000; bed
ding, 20.3 pounds; human labor, 2.5
hours; horse labor, O.3 hour; overhead
and other costs, $0.385.
It has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was con-
siderably higher in winter than in
summer; and while this holds true as
far as the gros cost is concerned,
the figures obtained in this investiga-
ton show that the net cost of produc-
ing 100 pounds Of milk from Novem-
Der to April was only 1.8 per cent
higher than the cost from May to

cost varied only slightly from month
to month within each of these seasons.
This small, difference between net
costs of production during winter and
summer is largely due to the greater
credit allowed for manure during the
winter season.
Prices Fluctuate
The price received for the milk, how
ever, fluctuated sharply from month
to month.

K. P'S REDUCE
THE ACE |
Advance Step Already
Taken By Large
Order

In conformity with its general pro-
gram and policy of expansion by which
it is proposed to carry the principles
Of the order into new fields of Pyth-
ian endeavor, the Knights of Pythias
at the recent biennial convention of
it's Supreme Lodge at Minneapolis
adopted an amendment to its organic
law reducing the minimum age limit
of membership in the order from 81
to 10 years, the effect of which will
be to open the door of fraternal hope
to thousands of youths in the land
whose hearts have felt the touch of
human sympathy and who long to en-
list under the banner of brotherhood
achievement.
Since the order was founded, men,
bership has been restricted to white
male persons not less than 81 years
of age and under SO, except that per-
sons over so might be accepted as
members by dispensations. But out
of the great World War many lessons
came of a nature calculated to change
the old order of things, not the least
of which was the idea born Of the
tremendous struggle and was partici-
pated in by the best blood of the IA
TONS young manhood that youths
of 49,. 10 and 20 years of age are
fully capable of meeting responsible
ties and discharging life's obligations
with a fidelity equal to those of few
years their senior. The alacrity with
which the younger boys of the ma
ton sprang to arms at the call of
country in defense of its honor and
for the preservation of its institu-
tions affords incontrovertable proof
that one does not necessarily have to
be of legal age in order to be of real
service in times of stress and need.
Inspired by thoughts of service
performed and sacrifices made by the
boys of the land and being deeply
sensible to the conviction that if q
boy of Is years is nan enough, strong
enough and patriotic enough to serve
his country in time Of war, he j.
competent physically, mentally and
temperamentally to participate in the
settlement of the problems of peace
that came to us as a heritage of the
war in which he fought.
The Knights of Pythias in common
with other fraternal organizations are
not unmindful of the obligations the
duties Of the hour impose, 1t pro
poses to perform its full share in the
great work of reconstruction and re.
%habiliation, that civilization may
speedily recover from the shock ia
which it was subjected and that the
blessings of peace, softened by senti-
ments of fraternal love may find per
manent abiding place in the hearts
of men. And in this magnificent en-
deavor it has invited boys and men
Of Is years and over to enlist under
the tricolored banner of Pythian
Knighthood in the movement design
ed to Danish discomfort and discord
and make the world brighter and hap
pier.

MORE BACK YARD GARDENS.

Notwithstanding the heavy snow and
cruel crust that hamper outdoor bust
ness, it is time to begin plans for sum
mer activity. The good work of the
past few seasons in school, back yard
and individual gardens should be con
tinued and enlarged the coming sum
mer. The continued flocking TO the
towns and cities, the reduced labor sup
ply for all agricultural pursuits. the re-
sultant shortage of food crops and the
persistent increase in the cost of liv-
ing make this necessary.
The national industrial conference
board, in a recent report which shows
an increase of 82.2 per cent. in the
cost of living for wage earners be-
tween July, 1914, and November, 1919,
states an increase of 90 per cent. in
food. This authority further states
that in a family budget the amount
spent for food is IS per cent. of the
total expenditures.
Increasing ones earning power is a
means of making less serious the ris-
ing prices of necessities. Increased pro.
duction is recognized as the one Iogi-
cal way to prevent higher values on
foodstuffs. The most rational manner
to assist ones self is to grow one s
own vegetables for some consumption.
Undoubtedly the school and commun-
ity gardens in Vermont will be avail
able another season and the use of
the back yards for productive purposes
rs just as available as ever. There
should be no slackers in production I'M
til the supply more nearly approaches
the demand
