MONTANA IS THE
i. s. OIL CENTER
President of University Explains Geo
logical Conditions in Plain
Language.

Butte, July 15.-Prefessor C. H.
Clapp, president of the University of
Montana, was the principal speaker at
the weekly luncheon of the Rotary club
yesterday. He explained in detail geo.
logical conditions in Montana which
would tend to make the state one of
the oil centers of the United States.
He was introduced by John O'Neil.
The western part of the state is
eliminated as an oil-producing center,
Professor Clapp explained, because of
the many fractures and u%pheavals that
have taken place. The eastern part of
the state is also eliminated because
the source of the oil is so deep that
to bore to the depth required to find
oil would be prohibitive at the pres
ent time.
"The history of the rock formation
may be divided into three parts" said
Mr.. Clapp. "The rocks in the western
part of the state may be called the
ancient rock, that in the middle of the
state may be termed the medieval
rock, and that of the eastern part the
recent rock.
First Gas Well.
"The first gas wells in the state
were found in Carbon county in 1897,
and the first great gas%-producing well
in the state vas drilled at Havre in
1915. In the Sweetgras hills there is
some gas, but not in paying quaint
ties. In 1916 oil in paying quantities
was found in Elk Basin, and the out
put there is about 10000 barrels a
year. The Cat creek oil field was dis
covered in 1919, causing a great i'm
petus to the oil industry in the state.
Since her many drilings have been
made, some of them productive and
some not.
"To be productive, an oil field must
have four conditions. First, there must
be a source of oil. This source is usu-
ally a greenish black shale, called the
| Colorado shale. 1t is rich in organic
remains either of plant or animal m
terial. The pressure and heat that
have been applied determine the quail
ity Of the oil found. There must also
be a porous stratum to contain the
oil. This stratum may be of sand
stone, or limestone, and form a reser-
voir for the oil. This porous stratum
must have an im%pervious covering
usually of shale, that will prevent the
oil and gas from escaping. The whole
of this structure must then be covered
by what is called a cap rock, which is
impervious. In some cases, where this
cap rock is fractured, We find that a
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1921-07-29

thick clay has prevented the escape of
the oil and gas.
"This cap rock, which is impervious,
is like an overturned basin, keeping in
all the oil and gas. Finally, there must
be water pressure to force the oil neal
the surface. We may find the oil
above the water, or we may find it in
a state of emulsion.
I'VE find some relation between the
coal fields and the oil fields, the diff
ferent grades of coal determining the
amount and quality of the oil produced.
In general l may state that the more
volatile matter contained in the coal
the les oil is found, although in the
Ignite areas there is little oil. The
great oil fields are found where the
dlstillation in the coal is great. The
best yields of oil are found where the
distillation is between IS and 70 per
cent.
"The depth of the we'll has a great
deal to do with the possibilities of
production. A we'll 1000 feet deep
may be drilled at a cost of about S1O,-
900. As the we'll goes deeper the cost
of drilling mounts rapidly, so that a
well $500 feet deep would cost about
$4,000. A we'll about 1000 feet deep
is about the present limit of a profit
able we'll, although they have been
drilled to a depth of 1000 feet in a
few cases.
"The migration of oil is upward
and when a dome is found where the
dips at the sides are steep, the oil may
be taken with greater ease. At any
rate, whenever the sides dips are steer
a test we'll is warranted in this state

FALL LETTERS CATCH
 HIGH MARKET PRICES

High time on the hog mark ct usually comes from July to September, the time when pigs from the fall filters of the previous year should be ready for market. The summer season is a time when a little extra cash can usually be ] used to advantage on the farm. The sows which have I produced spring filters should be bred to produce fall filters of pigs for this market an- other year
 While the hot dry months are not the best months for feeding hogs, it may be profit able under present conditions, to feed some for the summer market, according to T. Roy Reid, live stock specialist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkan- sas.
 It is a mistaken idea that hogs cannot be safely shipped during the hot months," says MT. Reid. "The hazard is not as great as it is during the winter months and the aver age loss in transit is not so great. Temperature changes between southern and north ern points, the probability of running into a blizzard en- route, and-the excessive cold makes the dangers from win ter shipping the more hazard ous."
 1 Certain precautions which should be taken III shipping hogs in summer, are pointed out by MT. Reid. The hogs should be handled carefully and should not be chased by dogs while being assembled for market. They should be hauled to the station in wag- ons with cotton frames and without top covering to cut off the circulation of the air and such hauling be done at night or in the cooler part of the day.
 The pens into which the hogs at the railroad are un- loaded should be provided with plenty of fresh water and good shade. The cars should be bedded with sand and this should be wet down before loading the hogs. The car should be loaded lightly so that the hogs will have plenty of room in the car.
 If heavy fat hogs are loaded, sacks of ice should be sus- pended from the roof of the ear. The spray from the ice will keep the hogs cool. About six sacks containing 50 pou\ds of ice each and dis tributed at about equal dis tances along the car will be sufficient.
