nesota Farm Bureau federation,
who has just completed an
exhaustive survey. In seventy
five per cent Of the counties Mr..
French says, farmers are having
no more trouble than usual in
getting hands. In Is per cent,
mostly in the Red River Valley,
there apears to be a shortage,
due to the fact that harvest is
under way.
The survey shows the follow
ing average wage for various
kinds of work:

Relief From Gravest Sit
uation in Field

The water shortage situation which
has threatened to retard 10 consid
cradle extent operations in the new
Amerada field will be OF short dura
ton as evidenced by the action Of the
Humble OH and Refining company
which has started work on q new re.
inforced concrete dam which IL is con

isle. southeast Of production in the
area, The dam will be about 130 feet
In width including ten feet penetra
ton on each bank Of the Hickory
creek, in which it is being built,
This stream is also known as milo
creek" The height OF the dam will
be about six feet from the creek bed
to the top A natural rock base in
the bed Of the creek forms very
favorable fQbndatlon for the dam.
The drainage covers vast acreage
from miles Of surrounding territory.
The chief source of supply of the
creek comes from natural springs
which abound in large numbers in ad-
Jacent territory. Numerous small ra-
Vines open into the stream and other
natural requisites exist in large mum
bers which tend to make the dam
project a most favorable undertaking.
1T is the most natural site for
dam ! have ever seen in my life Is
the manner In which C. b. Goddard
Of Ardmore, general superintendent
with the Humble company, speaks Of
the location All others who are IA
mliar with the district express sim
Mar opinion. Engineering work on
the dam is being done by o. A.
Stovall OF Wichita Falls. Texas, engi
neer with the Humble company, and
d. A. Fell, Jr., of the Hewitt Hum
Bile camp.
The Humble people are TO De com
mended for their quick action in un-
dertaldng to alleviate the gravest sit
uation which has been facing the
Amerada field operators, namely, short
age of water. The abundant supply
which will be available following tine
completion of the dam, which is er.
pected TO be within the next two
weeks, will be supplied TO all oper-
ators who desire TO make use Of 1t in
any portion OF the field. The proX-
unity Of the site of the dam TO the
area already proven viii not require
lines OF possible more than five miles
10 be laid.
When the water shortage threat
ened the Hewitt field development last
summer, at time when production
Of the pool was AT its height, II VIII
be remembered that the Humble com
pany at that time came 10 the rescue
by the damming of Spring creek, near
Milo. and the erection Of pump sta
ton. Water was carried through
lines from this source ror distance
Of 10 TO 12 miles. and all operators
who requested connection were sup

TO handle with the present pipe line
