BIG OIL WELL
IN WAYNE COUNTY

The Wayne County CW Va.) News
says: ....
Authentic announcement that ST.
barrel gushel oil well came in a few
days ago on Mium Creek, about five
miles from Dunlow, was received in
Wayne Wednesday. .'...
The well is located about one-fourth
of mile from the gusher which was
struck on Milum several months ago.
When the late well was struck oil
spouted over the derrick and flowed
down Mllum into Twelve Pole. Tanks
have been filled up to save as much as
possible of the oil, and arrangements
are row under way to pipe the output.
The theory is advanced by some
that the Milum field is part of the
Kentucky fields which are now being
operated. If there is any truth in this
theory, it is possible that the interven-
ing section of Wayne county between
Milum and the Kentucky line may
share in great oil development.

TO BUILD MANY NEW BRIDGES

The first important work on the
state highway between Volga and Elk.
TOT through BroOkings will o o COM
mence. The state highway commission
in this issue of the Register advertises
for bids for the construction of three
large bridges and seven concrete via
ducts on the road between Volga and
a point four and one-half miles east
Of BrOOkings. The largest bridge will
be a sixty-ive foot span steel pony
truss and the other two over the Sioux
river will be thirty foot span bridges
of the B type. The Viaducts are all
to be constructed of concrete, the larg-
est being 205 feet long, the others
range from AS to 73 feet in length. All
of the work is required to be COM
pleted On or before July / next year.
When the construction Of these bridges
is completed, work on the road itself
may be expected TO commence. Brook
ings county has waited a long time for
the state TO construct this main high
way and citizens welcome the an
nouncement that work will soon be in
progress for at least one road in Brook
ings county.

FORD GIVES GARDEN HINT

Brookings people who take pride in
their home gardens will be interested
in knowing that many Of the injurious
garden insects and plant diseases pass
through the winter months on the dead
remnants Of the summers crop. "As
soon as crops such as tomatoes, cucum-
bers, melons or c~abbages are harvested.
the old plants should be gathered and
burned" suggests A. l.. Ford, extern
sion entomologist at State college.
This will destroy many alternating
insects or plant disease pests which
would pass on to the next seasons
crop if left to winter unmolested.
Fall blowing Of garden sites, where
possible, does much toward checking
underground insects such as cut
worms, wire-worms, and white grubs.
This procedure destroys their winter
ing cells and throws them to the
surface where many Of them are con-
sumed by poultry and birds or else
succumb to the severe fall and winter
yrynnth1

HUNTING STARTS TOMORROW

The hunters will go forth in the
morn. The 1921 hunting season opens
at daybreak tomorrow morning and
Bookings county sportsmen have been
preparing for weeks to be out bright
and early the first day in pursuit Of
the waterfowl and the prairie chicken.
The duck shooting this year will not
be up to normal on account of the
dry season, but grouse and prairie
chicken will be more plentiful than
they have been in many years. The
dry weather was favorable for the
Matching and raising of prairie chikens
while it was not in favor of the ducks.
Many Of the famous duck hunting
sloughs in many parts of the state have
dried up during the summer. In this
section, however, it is hoped that even
though the early ducks are scarce, that
the late ducks will be attracted here
by the bodies of water and give the
BrOokings county hunters an advan-
tage e. the other counties where
water is less plentiful. Reports were
received last week from near Aberdeen
stating that the ducks were dying in
the sloughs in that ~ristrict on account
of the water becoming so shallow and
stagnant.

VoLGA AGREES 70 CONTRACT

Mayor Julius Martinson of Volga, anC
the members of the Volga council were
in Brookings Monday evening and met
at the city hall with Mayor T. l. Fit
tie and Commissioners H. B. Mathews
and E. ]. Ray to discuss the PROPOSE
ton of the city of Volga buying cleo.
trio power from the municipal plant
in Brookings for transmission to the
consumers in Volga. The terms
proved satisfactory to both sides and
Volga will receive twenty-four ser
vice from the power plant in Brook,
ings for a period of five years. The
city of Brookings agrees to deliver
the current to the city limits of
Brookings where Volga must take it
over their W transmission lines to
Volga and distribute it to the con
sumers. The cost Of building the
transmission line must be borne by
the city of Volga as we'll as a. costs
of distribution. The current is sold
to the city of Volga al a fiat whole,
sale rate.
Both the officials Of Volga and
Brookings are pleased with the ar
rangement which will work out to the
benefit Of both towns. When the new
power plant is completed, Brookings
will have surplus electric power that
would otherwise go to waste until
Brookings had grown to such size as
to demand it all. Volga is in need
of a nearby reliable source of cleo
trio power purchasable at a reason
able rate and Brookings was able to
fill her needs to the letter.
