Biggest Since HealdtOn.
This is the biggest producer brought
In In southern Oklahoma since the
days Of the Healdton boom, and its
find is creating considerable interest,
not only among the members Of the
local fraternity. but throughout the
state, and other points. Development
east of the discovery well of the field
has been closely watched since the
finding of the lime pay in the West

The W-D well uncovered the sandy lime

production of about 200 barrels which
it is still maintaining.

Test Monday Night
While flowing last night the Amer
ada.Felice No. l put 144 barrels into
the tanks in two hours, or at the rat,
OF more than 100 barrels daily.
A feature of this well in addition (
its big flow Is the shallow depth al
which the pay has beer found. Cost o
drilling wells TO this level is compare
lively small relative to the cost of Other
wells in Carter county which yielt
much less production at deeper levels
The find Is of biggest Importance II
that It will lead TO exploration for ex
tension which may tend to enlarge tn,
producing area and thus create the bil
activity which has been looked forward
to since the Amerada pool was original
ly uncovered.

Governor E. Mont Reilly of Porto
Rico has had lot of trouble since he
assumed office but he's still governor.
Before he went to the island he
spent month touring this country, an
nouncing the platform upon which he
meant to conduct his administration
there. One plank was opposition to any
independence movement. The result
was that he found an ant.hill OF dlscon-

entered on his work and from that day
he has had fight on his hands.
Rebuke From Judge.
The latest thing was u request from
an insular grand jury for the gov

this was no kind of request fer a
grand jury to make-that If it wanted
an indictment returned, ii was the
jury's own business to return one.
There the matter stands at present.

the present governor OF Porto Rico.

FULTON FARMERS SET PACE
IN THREE FAR PRACTICES

Lexington, KY, - Fulton county
farmers are setting the pace for those
IN all other counties of Kentucky in at
least three important agricultural
practices, according to a report made
by Ralph Kenney, crops extension spe-
rialist OF the College of Agriculture,
upon his return from a recent soybean
our held in that district. The county
s said to have more soybeans grow
IN the same row with corn than any
other county Of the United States,
more limestone has been used in the
county than in any other of the same
size in the state while Fulton county
farmers have adopted the practice of
sowing pack of Japan clover on
every acre of grass land each year.
During the last three years these three
things have become common farm
practices, whereas they were practi-
cally unknown before that time.
Teh recent tour, which was held by
County Agent o. L. Cunningham for
the purpose of showing interested per-
sons what farmers of the county we're
doing toward building up their soils
and carrying out recommended prac-
tees, covered a route of 80 miles
through the county and attracted
farmers FROM four adjoining counties.
Fields of alfalfa, Japan clover and
other clover were common along the
roads taken on the tour while practic-
ally every field of corn which was
passed had soybeans growing in the
same row with the corn.
Placards were posted along the line
of tn tour to point out shrinking things
being done on the various farms. On
the farm Of Enoch Brown, near Fulton
a poster told passing farmers that the
entire farm Shad been lined while an
other on the farm of Leslie Nugent
near Fulton, showed that 100 acres OF
the $50 in the farm weer growing le-
gumes. Later during the tour the
farmers passed the farm of Drew Ba-
con, near Hickman, where the total
of 300 acres of corn on the farm had
soy beans planted nthe same row
with the grain. On the farm of Chas.
Alexander, near Jordan, 800 acres of
the 400 in the farm were found to be
growing legumes. Many other farms
we're passed on which at least one or
two ( the three practices were being
carried out.
A total of $50 farmers Of the county
will fatten thei rhogs this fall in an
economical way by turning them into
fields OF corn and soybeans, County
Agent o. L. Cunningham told the

BOARD MAY PROVIDE
PUPILS TRANSPORTATION

Pierre S. D., Nov. Sin an op-
inion just handed down Attorney
General Byron S. Payne holds that
A board of education may provide
transportation foiN school children
in lieu of payment of transporta-
tion and that an Independent
school district may do this as, well
as rural district. Section 1885
provides that when pupils reside
more than two and one-half miles
from the nearest school house il
the district in which they reside
the district shall pay a specified
amount for the transportation OF
the children
The legislature clearly intended
that this statute should apply to
both independent and common
school districts" says the opinion.
Ipqury was made on this sub
iect by Roy A. Nord, states at
torney of Faulk county who also
states that in that county a num-
her Of children reside in remote
portion of an independent district
who are not furnished with trans
portation facilities. 1t lis held by
the attorney general that the
board of education could not be
compelled to organize school for
those children 1t is cited that
provision is made for educating
these children as may be determin-
ed by the county superintendent
which includes furnishing board
for these children at a place where

SIXTY PER CENT OF

Pierre, S. D. Nov. S-The federal
estimate of 60 per cent Of the nor
NAL amount of anthricite coal fol
the northwestern states is believed
to be approximately correct one by
j J. Murphy, state fuel admins
traitor, who, however, states that
with practically all of that amount
to be brought to the northwest
by an all-rail haul the SO per cent
will come through during the en-
tire winter and that it is very
likely that only small amounts can
be secured by users of this fuel
at any one time.
From Indications over the state
there is practically no anthracite
the markets at present. Here and
in other parts of the state those
having hard coal burners and fur
naces useing hard Goa! are ax-
pecting to get coke to take Its
place during the earlier part cr
the winter. Those having furnaces
that can use soft coal viii pro-
baby find that fue' the NOS. sat

Races whicl cannot use It.

os in that part of the state east

ally all Of the state with the cx-
Ctntion of the Black Hills region,
where there has been sncw, ha.,
relieved TIE situation to "a great
extent though it has at the same
time delayed the buying of fuel
by consumers.
With only 60 per cent of anthra-
cite promised and this coming by
rail entirely from the mines to the
northwest every person who can
use soft coal at all should do so
as there will, without a doubt, be
times when it will be impossible
