PRIZES AWARDED BOYS
FOR FORESTRY WORK

Commissioner Alexander Of the Lou
isiana Conservation Department, has
announced the winners Of prizes in the
contests Of the Boys Reforestration
Clubs of Louisiana. The cash amount
OF the prizes. exclusive Of the awards
made by separate parishes, was $500,
the money being donated by the Great
Southern Lumber Company Of Boga'

Of the tracts Of forest under tho con.

AAYNESVIlLE OIL FIELD
GIVES GTEAT PROMISE

Ono Of the most promising oil fields
in the South, and certainly the best
protected Of the wealth producers Of
the section, IL the Haynesville field in
Claiborne parish. Both the Louisiana
Department of Conservation and the
operators are trying to maintain this
high standard for the development Of
the. oil pool-the department, through
Commissioner Alexander. by making
regulations as to operations and by ea.
forcing these operations. and the oper.
ators by reaching agreements among
themselves to prevent the wastsful
depletion Of the deposit.
There were in operation at the last
report 122 producing wells, with .
total production Of 60,053 barrels Of oil
. day, with eighteen additional idle
wells and two abandoned outfits. Fig.
ures compiled by the Conservation De-
partment February 1, showed the fol.
lowing: Pumping wells, 81: with .
production of 12,70s barrels daily;
flowing wells. 81; production 45.e1o
barrels; swabbing wells. 1; produe
ton. 1850. The amount Of water
flowing out with the oil is but q little
over 1000 barrels daily. or an average
Of 18 barrels per well-less than 1 per
cent Of the flow. This keeping out OF
water shows the unusual care that has
been taken in the operation Of the
wells. and the entire water flow has
been confined to the southern border
Of the field. OF the 122 producing
wells only one is making all water.
and it, capacity IL bt $50 barrels
daily.
The proven oil field Of the Haynes
Vile deposit covers $3.50 acres only,
and there are yet to be drilled in this
territory over 400 wells. The wells ut
10 be drilled will be on the higher por.
ions of the structure an dtheir pro-
iuction will, therefore, average high.
Hence the prospect is very rosy, and
he future or the field is regarded BY |
biologists and engineers al assured.
