Oil and Gas News of
Interest to Kentucky

John Lewis Cochran, widely known
oil operator and capitalist of Denver.
Colo. visited Paintsville, KY, the past
week in the interest of a syndicate
which is working out a definite plan TO
consolidate about fifteen different
companies in Johnson county, states
the Lexington Leader.
The plans have been pretty thor
oughly gone over and have been
brought TO practical point. The oon-
soiidation win include approximately
IL 900 acres in the Berea field OF john
son county and quite number OF pro-
tlucing wells. The plans also include
the building Of an independent rein
cry. so as to develop market for the
production OF the field, The refinery
will be owned by the consolidated
company, and it is also planned to take
over the independent pipe line ,n.i
connect 1t up with the production AID
refining proposition. The independent
pipe line is laid into the field for a
distance of about l5 miles and conf
plete pump stations, loading racks and
tanks are already installed. II Is un-
derstood that very liberal proposition
will be made to the stockholders of
the Independent pipe line organization
10 induce them to come into the new
company. Mr.. Cochran Is n brother
in-law OF Senator Oscar Underwood.
Operators generally are OF the opin-
ion that another increase in the price
Of Somerset crude is due TO come this
week, the prediction being based on
the fact that many OF the independent
purchasing agencies are offering a
premium OF from ten to fifteen cents
on the barrel. Should another increase
come soon, 1t will mean that Somerset
light will be priced close to the three
dollar mark which is the goal set by
the operators and producers as the one
to be reached before the end of the
year. Every price increase adds to
the incomes of the oil men and means
that more money will in turn become
available for the development work
now in hand, as well as the work yet
to be done At the present time there
is great activity in all the oil fields and
the indications are that this will con-
tinue throughout the winter. Operators
generally feel that there Is some en-
enlargement to go ahead and they are
prepared to carry on with the good
work.

for the first time that throw new light

President Wilson was unjustly criu-

HOGS MEAN MONEY.

I tCOIumDuS Enqulfef-Sun.)
/ Another instance of how it pays
| to raise hogs along with other farm
products is given by The Dothan
Eagle. That paper tells US that 4
Houston county farmer named Ha,
! thorn, a few days ago sold forty
| four hogs at Dothan for $500 Most
! of these porkers We're only nine
months old and none over fourteen
months old. "This only shows,
says the Eagle, chow quickly a
bunch of pigs will turn TO money
properly handled in Houston. coun
ty, or any other county in Albania
And they will turn to money in
Georgia as quickly as they will in
Alabama. But the Eagle goes on to
say:
"Mr. Hathorn had his entire crop
Of cotton stored in a local ware.
house, waiting for the price to get
attractive to him, and it failed to
meet his expectations, and he haul
ed the cotton back home to store it
on his own premises, to stop the ex-
pense.
He is net worrying SO much
about his cotton crop. He will de-
vote more time to a crop of hogs
this year, seeing that they can be
marketed any season Of the year,
and that at fair price.
"Mr Hathorn is more fortunately
situated than many farmers, but he
was farsighted enough to anticipate
these conditions and put on his hog
crop last year.
Hogs can be raised in this coun.
ty, because feed for them can be
cheaply grown"
The item from the Eagle does not
need diagram or anything. 1t is
about as plain as the matter could
be stated. 1t means that if the
farmer will look after his farm in
a business-like manner it will be 9
profitable business.

WHAT THE PRESS is SAYING.
SOME CURRENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS

large numbers of hogs and since co.
lonial times, and the introduction OF
peanuts just after the War Between
the States are the reasons assignee
for South GeoKsia's advantage at
this time, along with North Geor,
gla's practice OF raising only one OF
two good pen-fed hogs at time.
At any rate, South Georgia is ahead,
just as it is ahead in a good many
other things, as, for instance, in the
IN the growth of rural population. If
a man keeps his eyes too closely
