OUR CONTRACT IS
BETTER THAN 50 50

u
The extraction of sugar from ton of
beets in Great Western Sugar Company
plants is performed in two kinds Of factories
One type has no facilities for working up the
sugar in the molasses. The other type ex-
tracts the sugar from the molasses by what is
known as the Steffen Process. The COM
pany has capacity in it's teffen plants to
handle all the molasses it produces
Steffen Houses Could Not Profitably Be
Operated on $3.50 Contract
Frequently in the past the price of sugar
and the high cost of extraction from molass-
es has made it inadvisable to operate Steffen
campaigns, even when beets were bought at
less favorable prices to the growers than we
offer in our 1923 contract.
But a $3.50 contract, under which half of
the Steffen sugar would go to the grower.
would make it improbable to operate our
Steffen plants The untreated molasses
could be sold to better advantage without the
investment cost and trouble of putting the
tract the sugar. This Steffen sugar, under
molasses through the Steffen Process to ex-
$3.50 contract, would be worth less to the
company than the molasses in the first place.
With the Steffen Process Closed, Less Per
Ton Beets Would Be Paid the Grower
Than the 1923 Contract Offers
On Non-Steffen extraction-the basis
of most Of the $3.50 contracts offered else
where-the grower for the Great Western
factories on $3.50 contract, with our condi-
tions of shrinkage in weight and sugar,
would receive less than the 1923 contract
pays per ton of beets. The 1923 contract
gives the grower part of the Steffen sugar
Our Contract Increases the Pot Divided
With the Growers
Since $3.50 contract would close the
Steffen plants and produce less sugar, grow
ers should realize that the companys con-
tract gives both the grower and the company
a chance for more returns from a ton of
beets.
Our contract specifies no definite per-
centage of the sugar extracted in payment
for beets The prices fixed in the sliding
scale are based on the companys ability to
pay fair price and it's desire to make beet
growing profitable for the grower as the on
Fy sound basis for permanency of the indus
try.

DRILLING AT DEL RIO
Activities Are Renewed in Val Verde
t, County.

Del Rio, Tex, Oct. 13.-After a
period of inactivity, several of the oil
wells in the Del Rio section have
resumed operations.
The East Del Rio well is roaming
to lost bit at 1874 feet. When this
is reached an 8 IA bit will be set
again and drilling continued. This is
a home capital well and is located JUST
out the city limits.
The Havalien well resumed opera.
tions this week, and indications are
good. A sand saturated with oil has
been encountered at about $500 feet
and production is looked for at any
time.
The Independent Operator also be.
gan drilling again this week, after hav-
ing made a number of permanent re-
pairs. A new line will be put on
next week.
The Jse Morris well has kept up
operations more continuously than any
other well in the Del Rio field. At
present ii is drilling in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 feet.
Operations are said ODE active in
Reagan county, just north of Val
Verde county, where ten wells are
drilling and numerous locations have
been made. In Mexico to the south
of Del Rio, oil leases are active and
locations are being staked off.

WILDCAT AT CLIFTON
The Laurel Oil Company Drilling
Wildcat ON Survey go.

Miranda City, Tex, Oct. 13.-Tbc
Laurel Oil Company is drilling wild
cat on survey 210 north of Clifton
about three miles. The well is known
as the Laurel No. 1 and is located
near the east center of the survey.
This we'll will test out all sands and
will drill very slowly so that no for
nation will be passed which might
make n well.
Il. Ross Jones drilled two wells on
this survey last year and both of them
picked up good gas sands and it Is
said that oil was also present. One OF
these wells was drilled to depth OF
1000 feet and the other tried TO test at
1900 feet but could not get proper
seat on which to set casing and it IS
the opinion of many that this last
well may have made an oil well.
The Laurel Oil Company has a
large block of acreage in this survey
and other holders are Bateman, Jones.
Wolcott, Zornig and there is one piece
owned by Wolcott, Buffum & Zornig
The test to be made by the Laurel
Oil Company was started Wednesday
and il will be watched closely by oil
men. The territory is well located and
said by many biologists to be one of
the most likely looking pieces of Wild
cat acreage in the entire oil district.
The Laurel Deep Well OIL Company
has shut down for the present at a
depth of 1925 feet. A test was to have
been made to test out IL feet of sand
that was ratholed last week but when
the casing was run it slipped into the
sand on account of not having proper
seat. There is also a shortage Of wa
ter and the company drilling this well
had to fulfill another contract which
was about to expire on acreage under
their option which necessitated a
move.
The drilling CONTRACTORS will move
back onto the Laurel Deep Well No.
1 as soon as they complete contract
they now have on hand and it is Likely
that casing will be set in cement and
test made Of the sand at the depth
Of 1925 feet. The well is located on
survey 2GG of Webb county. -

WORK SHUTS DOWN
Coastal Operators DO Not Like Oil
Situation.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 1S.-with win.
ter weather approaching and the con.
tinued uncertainty of the crude OIL
price structure, the oil operator in the
Gulf coast section of Texas has gone
into his hole for the winter. Practical.
ly all field work, with the possible
exception Of those wells now down at
interesting depths, has been suspended
with a resultant smaller number OF
competitions reported each week.
During the seven days just ended
there were six new wells reported
completed in the coastal district, the
combined initial production of which
was less than 5000 barrels.
AT Hull the Gulf Production Com
pany's No. pa Harrison Fee has the
pay St 1880 feet and is making 1000
barrels.
The Gulf Production Company's No.
pa Wright. a workover at Goose
Greek, is making 80 barrels at $500
feet.
The Orange field scored the largest
number of new wells for the week
with a total of four recorded. The
Gulf Production Compony's No. D
Fee In this district, is the banner well
of the week. and is good for 400 bar
rels at 1915 feet. The Orange Petro-
leum Company's No. 4 Winfree, a
workover. is making 800 barrels at
1915 feet. The Rycade on Corpora

NEW COMPANY ENTERS
Allsworth Company Getting Ready TO
Drill i'm the Scfott Field.

Miranda City. Tex. Oct. .13.-Last
week the Ellsworth Brothers closed
n deal for so acres in survey % OF
Webb county, This acreage is SOUTH
east Of the Schott field and II touches
the Bay and Two Republics proven
acreage on the north.
A derrick was built Wednesday
offsetting the Two Republics wells on
block 20 of the Ojuelos grant. The
tools are being set and the well will
start drilling by the first of next
week.
This is one of the best pieces of
practically proven acreage in the
Schott field and the north end Of the
acreage offsets producing wells.
The Ellsworth Brothers, Charles and
Clyde, are both experienced oil men
and recently organized company
with their father to develop this SO
acres. About a year ago they formed
the Two Republics Oil and Gas Com
pany and purchased the west half of
block 20 of the Ojuelos grant of Webb
county and have drilled number OF
producing wells thereon. This half OF
block 20 is one of the best leases in
the Schott field.
The Allsworths are from Pennsyl-
vania and Oklahoma and they have
spent lifetime in the oil business
and know nothing but oil and they are
good addition to the field. They are
good we'll men and will not stop drill
ing until they have thoroughly de-
veloped every foot of their recent pur-
chase in survey 80

DRILL DEEP TEST
Hughes Oil Company Will Spud in
on Survey 1101 in Webb.


Miranda City, Tex. Oct. 13.-The
Hughes Oil Company is getting ready
to start n deep test northwest of Oil
ton on survey 1101. This we'll will
try to pick up the high gravity sand
that was drilled into in the Hughes
Butler & McMurry No. l on survey
33S n mile north of Clifton.
The tools are being set up and a
water line was being run Wednes-
day. The work is directly under the
supervision of r. +. Duggan of the
Hughes Oil Company. Mr.. Duggan is
probably the strongest believer in big
pay oil in this country. He drilled
a well east of Miranda City long be.
fore that city was thought OF and
he had done more individual work in
proving IN this territory than any man
who has ever entered the field.
Another deep test to the northwest
of clifton will become great attrac-
ton for the oil fraternity and it is
the opinion of numerous oil men that
this new well will get the high gray
ity sand in paying quantity.
