WORK WILL BE RESUMED THIS
 WEEK AT WELL
Cunnbo Caves in Shuts Of Sand-Further Effort to be Made to Pull Eight Inch Casing.

Following shut down of several quick sand and their ability to pull the eight-inth casing that the trou- ble may be overcome, drillers at the Preston Oil and Gas Company plan to resume operations the first of the week, il is said. Since the shut down of q few days ago the gumbo that has been holding the casing so tight it could not be drawn has caved i'll and is said to have shut off the sand trouble, al least temporarily.
 II is said to be the intention of the drillers to continue drilling till it becomes imperative to pull the eight-inch casing. In event addl- tional sand trouble arises further effort will be made to remove the casing from the hole with the present rig but it is doubtful II the feat can be accomplished with out ripping the joints at the ex- treme depth of the well.
 On account of the absence of N. G. Williamson who was called to his home in Defiance. Ohio, on ae- count of the illness and death of his mother, and Head Driller Jas. Black, who is visiting his old home in Preston, Oklahoma, the crew has been somewhat handicapped in lack of help. Besides, two or three members of the crew at the site have been suffering from severe colds, and almost laid up as re- suit. Alssrs. Black and Williamson it is said, will return some time next week.
 II is believed by many who have been watching the progress of de- yelopment and the troubles they have encountered that it will be necessary to install a rotray outfit before very rapid progress may be had in sink ing the test. Attention is being given to the latter subject now, it is said.

Insect Plague
Sweeping Sugar
Lands of Russia
Entire Beet Crop in Chernigof
District Threatened I'm

By DONALD S. DAY.

Chicago Tribune Cable. Copyright. 1921.
Riga, Aug. GA plague of insects
has appeared in the Chernigof dis
trict, the center of the sugar bee,
district of Russia. Unless large sup
plies of insect fighting apparatus and
poison are received within the next
week the whole sugar beet crop OF
Russia may be destroyed.
Writing in Economic Life-the Of
fetal economic journal of the soviet
government under the headline
Ring the Alarm Bell" X. Taranen-
ko gives a vivid picture of the sit
uation in the sugar beet raising belt
and calls upon the national commits
sariat of agriculture to come to the
rescue before the whole sugar beet
crop is destroyed.
Contributing to the seriousness of
the present situation is the shortage
of insecticides, he writes, and he
goes on to relate how, in response
to a requisition for 10000 pounds
OF chlorides and 10000 pounds of
Paris green made by the national
sugar commissariat, the sugar indus
try only received a scant $4,000
pounds which made no impression

According to the latest informa-
ton sent by the sugar commissariat
there is going to be great shortage
in sugar production during the COM

less immediate steps are taken. all
agricultural districts are going to be
affected by this blight of caterpillars
which first appeared in the Chernigof
district. Already about 10000 acres
of crops have been totally destroyed
and in one section the caterpillars
are so thick in places that they cover
the ground inches deep.
THE appearance of the caterpillars
concluded the calamity, for the
plants had already been visited by
hordcs of other insects and were
partly destroyed. Apparently the
whole crop is doomed. Even if we
manage to scrape through this year,
it is evident that the sugar produc-
ton will be crippled for some years
to come.
"That is not all. 1t is expected
that our crops will be eaten by those
insects. In the eastern districts the
grain crops are i'll serious danger"
