SPINACH FOR B

Spinach farmers of the Willamette
Valley, Oregon, will this year great
ly increase their planted acreage, as
the result of the announcement by
DR.. j. F. McClendon, of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, after six years of
research, that powdered spinach is
highly beneficial in the feeding of in
fants and children, as we'll as adults.
AS a result of the announcement
of DR.. McClendon, a dehydration
plant at Salem, Oregon, is preparing
greatly to increase its capacity in the
production of powdered spinach,
which is not subject to botulinius, the
recently discovered poison which has
proved fatal in so many cases.
Agents of the dehydration company
are advising farmers to increase their
spinach acreage. Growers in other
states are expected to follow the lead
of the Oregon farmers.
Seeking to solve the mysteries of
the high mortality rate among infants
and children, DR.. McClendon's ex-
periments with dehydrated spinach
showed such remarkable results, that
he has just announced the outcome
of his experiments. In the Jean Mar
tin Brown Home, in st. Paul, Mimi,
the final tests showed that powdered
spinach, in combination with orange
juice, was an ideal food, the spin
ach containing iron and other ele-
ments necessary to the building of
bone and tissue.
Reporting the result of his final
test, DR.. McCledon writes that: en-
fants in the home were largely or
phans and underfed. By feeding
them two teaspoonfuls of powdered
and one-twelfth of an ounce
Of orange juice, we increased their
growth rate about three 0 rfour oun-
ces in one week. Even a baby with
marked ricketts, gained in weight"

THINGS NOT COMMONLY
KNOWN CONCERNING OIL

The origin of oil is one problem, its
accumulation into economic deposits
an entirely different one. More is
known about the accumulation of oil
than about it origin.
1. Commercial oil and gas deposits
generally occur in the higher parts
or folds or wrinkles in the earth's
surface called anticlines, domes and
monoclines.
2. Water is generally found in the
same stratum as the oil but in the
lower part of the fold.
3. All commercial deposits with
one exception, that of Thrall, Texas,
50 far have occurred in sedementary
sand stones, conglomerates, shales or
limestones.
a. All oil and gas deposits, so far
as known, are capped or covered by
practically imprevious beds of shales,
or sandstone or limestone. Also such
deposite are underlaid by %imprevious
beds. practical Geology, Hagee, p.
Sd
Quantities of Oil in Sands
Many people think of lakes of oil
lying underground. This is not the
case by any means. The small voids
in the sands afford plenty of space
in which oil may accumulate. Some
sands contain 20 per cen voids (they
vary from 5 to IS per cent? If these
voids were full Of oil, each 100 cubic
feet of said would contain 20 cubic
feet Of oil. A bed 100 feet thick and
covering an acre Of land would then
contain the following number of bar
rels of oil (42 gallons of oil per bar
rel-7.5 gallons per cubic FOOT:
43.56O rs X 20 divided by AZ
equals 1555,535 barrels. practical
Geology, Hagee, p. 10)
Acreage Per Well
The area drained by one we'll is
variously estimated at from one to
ten acres. Some operators space their
wells 100 to 500 feet apart varying
the distance inversely with the rich
ness of the sands. No rule can be set,
the porosity of the sand, the gas
pressure, and the dips vary greatly
in different fields. At Beaumont,
Texas, on one field, wells were drilled
so close that the derricks overlapped.
In some of the Gulf Coast fields three
and four wells per acre is not unusu-
al. Leases from one acre tracts have
been sufficient to make fortunes, but
the best operating standpoint
such leases are wasteful. practical
Oil Geology, Hagee, p. 152.
Biologists
In the early days of the oil indus
try, drilling was carried on in an
lnsystematic manner, without any
for geological features. 1t
remained for an American geologist,
[. S. White, in 1885, to give US the
clear outline of the application of
geological methods to the finding of
oil and gas fields and to the locating
IF wells. Practical men remained
;keptical, and only the later condition
If the oil industry and a consequent
employment of the biologists SER
in large numbers with the re-
suits they have achieved, convinced
hem that geology is more important
~ far than the first enthusiast
AS a result the chance for
success of prospect wells has been
'educed from one in one hundred and
to one in three. Every large
company now maintains a geological

Present Status

Starting with an insignificant be-
ginning of 1000 barrels in 1859, >the
production of the United States has
risen to a total of 360,000,0 600 bar
rels for 1919, a figure so large that it
is difficult to form a conception of its
magnitude. The value Of the refined
products for the year 1919 will great
ly exceed $4,000, 0OO, 900, a value
greater than the combined produc-
ton of gold, silver, copper, lead and
zinc for the same period. While pro-
duction has increased from 25O,000,-
600 barrels in 1918 to 100000, 900
barrels in 1919, consumption has in
creased much more rapidly. 1t is
estimated that consumption has
doubled in the past four years, and
now exceeds production by nearly Is
per cent. This excessive consumption
causes serious concern, especially be-
cause our known fields are rapidly
nearing exhaustion. AS a result of
this condition the value OF crude oil
is higher than it has ever been before

Oil In Montana
'The oil industry is in Montana to
stay. How extensive it will become
remains to be seen, but millions of
money are being spent in develop
ment, and it is possible that the
state will one day rank among the
biggest producers in the United
States. With a marketed production
of 5000 barrels per day, less than
one year from discovery, Montana is
in a fair way to become a big factor
in the industry.-December Petrol

YOUNG MAN

If you are undecided as to what business to
go into-go into the sunshine business. 1t pays
big profits You know how physical sunshine af-
fects you-how it makes your day pleasant and
cheerful and puts health zest and vigor into your
system. Sunshine in your soul - sunshine in
your heart and sunshine in your face is of an
infinitely higher order because you can take it
into the darkest corners of your day and there
will be light.
Distribute sunshine
The sunshine spirit in you will not only trans
form your entire day, but it will go far toward
Transforming the entire days of everyone that
comes within the radius of your sunshine. You are
cheered and inspired every time you pass man or
woman on the street with sunshine streaming out
from their countenance and very attitude. TO go
into an office where there is sunshine ITO go into
home where there is sunshine; to meet people and
talk with them with sunshine radiating from
them-you cannot possibly come in contact with
"a finer inspiration.
Distribute sunshine
Sunshine is a thing made up within us. 1t
cannot be bought and it cannot help but be in
you in great quantities if you eliminate from
your thinking and from your working the things
that shut off sunshine-anger, regret for things
that cannot be helped, wrong viewpoints, worry,
hatred, envy, jealousies. Get these things out of
your system-give the sunshine a chance and
your value to yourself and other people will grow
and grow
Go into the sunshine business.

SCHOOL BUTTER.

Away back in 1S60-1870, when
Columbus was full of private schools
taught by ministers of the gospel,
maiden ladies and widows, and one or
two old-fashioned men who insisted on
discipline and who would undertake to
whip the biggest boy in school, the
above expression was frequently
heard, along with the taunt to those
who attended the Franklin Academy,
"Oh, yes, you go to the free school"
Both expressions were used with
varying results. "School Butter"
meant a fight or a foot-race, and the
offender, if caught, was either bump
ed or ducked in a pond or creek The
charge of going to the "free school,
was frequently the cause of fights.
The only explanation of the origin
of School Butter" the writer ever
heard was that it is a corruption of
"0ur school is better"

QUICK RESULTS
FROM WANT AID.

Yesterday morning a gentleman
stepped into the Dispatch Office and
requested us to insert a small adver-
tisement in our want columns under
the Lost" heading. The gentleman
had lost nice dog and was anxious
to recover the canine. Our steno-
grapher took the advertisement and
handed it over to the Linotyper to
set. AS the man stepped from the
Dispatch Office to the street the dog
ran up to him, barking and wagging
his tail.
That's what we call a smart dog.
He saw his owner come into the Of
flee to advertise for him, and he ran
up just in time to save the man two

tisements in the Dispatch produce re-
suits.

lost dog or cow or servant or any
thing of that kind. Or if you have

at this time there is no American demand for
foreign labor. In fact, great many of those who
