TWO Ne " WELLS
FOR GRADY SOON
MAY OPEN FIELD
Knox Ready to Drill Out Cement
Plug; corton Hits New 1850
Foot Sand; Shook Well to
Go on Pump Soon

While Grady county oil fans have
had their eyes on the several wild
cats drilling in the Ninnekah, Rush
Springs, Bradley and Tuttle dis
tricts. operations that have been lit
tie heralded have made important
developments in the district of the
old Shock well, IA miles southwest
OF Chickasha near the western
Grady county line, where there is
one completion and two other wells
on the sand.
The Knox Petroleum company,
Shook farm in the southwest of the
southwest of section 1858 is now
completion at 24S6 feet and is good
for 50 barrels a day. This well is in
fact, the discovery well as far as
Grady county production is con
cerned. 1t was drilled in several
months ago and announced complet-
ed, the Mckay Oil company having
done the work for the Knox people
The latter, when they took thel well
over, charged that the drilleTs had
reported about 100 feet more of hole
than they in reality had and crew
from the Gorton Trust was brought
over to finish the job. They had to
continue drilling inside of the six
inch pipe which made work slow
and difficult They are swabbing to-
day and cleaning out preparatory to
putting the well on the pump.
Two New Ones Due
More important, however, than the
completion of the Knox, Shook No.
/ well, is the prospect for two new
wells. One is by the Knox company,
Lapham farm in section 1858 where
l'they are cemented on what is be-
lieved to be highly productive sand
believed to be the same sand in
which the Gorton Trust completed
its Wagner well (Caddo county, in
section 1889. Rat-tailing proved the
first sand at 1850 to be about 20
feet in thickness and that after a
break, another sand, thicker than
the first layer was also productive.
They will drill into this sand to-
day or tomorrow. An officer of the
Knox Petroleum company stated to-
day that comparatively big well
was expected before the last of the
week.
Another New Sand.
Drilling just north of the Knox
Lapham No. 1, is the Gorton Trust
in section 7-5-S, where reports state
they have picked up sand at about
1860 feet. This sand was struck

Huron, March 22.-The cooperation
that has been attained by the farmers
grain marketing Committee of II
marks an epoch in agricultural coop
Grafton, writes c. II. Gustafson, chair
man of the committee. Members of
the committee, he says, representing
many farmers organizations, have
found their petty differences SO slight
that when it came to consideration of
the common fundamental problems
they were able TO agree unanimously
on every point in the development of
the plan.
There are indications on every
hand that this spirit of true coopera-
ton on the part of the Committee is
being applauded by all farmers organ
izations and that the same broad-mind
ed policy Of give and take will govern
the larger body of farmers organiza-
lions which will meet in the ratifica-
ton conference at Chicago next month
If the farmers representatives at that
conference a keep the same broad
vision of true cooperation before them
and present a united front on a mar
keting plan and a national marketing
organization of their own, the farmers
of America will have made the most
important step forward tEat history
has ever recorded"

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK

Paul j. S~carbro, State Leader of
Boys and Girls Clubs, spent Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
in the county meeting the boys and
girls engaged in the club work and
discussing with the parents the work
of the various Boys and Girls Club
activities.
Films were shown in Rec Heights
and st Lawrence showing the club
boys and girls in action at the State
Fair and in the summer camps.
The County Agent borrowed a movie
machine and through the generosity of
MFR. Reynolds, representing the Delco
Farm and Home Lighting Equipment,
power is being obtained to show the
movies to the farm boys and girls at
the various Community Clubs over the
County. Five night meetings have
been arranged for this week. other
dates have been asked for over the
County, but owing to the fact that the
films and machine cannot be had long
er than this week, they could not be
scheduled.
The boys and girls Of the various
clubs are enthusiastic and much inter-
ested in this work. They will put over
a very good piece of work for Hand
County this year.

County Agent.

INSECT TROUBLE EXPECTED

Present indications point to more
insect pests for the coming growing
aso than we have experienced for
several years. The dry, mild fall is
the reason for this kind of a predic-
ton. As we all know, most of our in
furious insects pass the winter in the
soil or under various kinds of trash.
During severe winters the mortality or
death rate of these wintering pests Is
always very high The past winter
has been so mild and dry that practi-
.cally all of the pests will come through
safely. The result is going to be that
we will probably have more insects
of all kinds with the possible excep-
ton of the army worm.
The grasshopper does more damage
than any other insect in South Dakota.
We expect grasshopper trouble farther
west, but they may get into the alfalfa
and small grains in Hand County.
Should the Spring be moderately dry,
there will probably be some corn tax
en- by the cut worm. These two in
sects are the pests with which we will
have to contend.
Both grasshOpper and cut worms
a be, to a large extent, controlled
by the use of poisoned bran bait. This
bait is made as follows:
Wheat bran .......'...... % pounds
White arsenic or paris green.l pound
Cheap molasses ...........2 quarts
Water ............. about 3 gallons
Mix the bran and poison dry, after
which the molasses should be diluted
into the water. Then wet the dry
bran and poison with the sweeted SOL
ution. Apply to the infested fields
broadcast and very thinly. For grass
hoppers, the best results can be OBJ
tanned by putting it out very early in
the morning, but for cutworms, it
should be applied In the evening-at
or after shutdown.
Should insects show up in alarming
numbers later in the season, a system
attic fight should be made for their
immediate control. Your County
Agent has the information on fighting
insects or at least knows where he can
get the information. He will be glad
to serve you when bug" time comes.
Also, the Extension Entomologist at
BrOokings will be glad to assist in any
way he can should Hand County ex-
p%erience insect trouble.

Extension Entomologist.
