WILL SPEND MILLION AND HALF
SEARCHING FOR OIL IN MONTANA

Miles City, April 21-One million
six hundred thousand dollars will be
spent in "wildcatting" for oil in Mon
tana by the Danciger Oil and Refining
company of Kansas City, Mo, accord
ing to an announcement made here by
Jack Danciger, vice president of the
concern.
This great sum, Mr. Danciger said,
has been set aside through the Rio
Grande-Gulf Oil and Gas company, a
holding corporation for the Danciger
interests of Kansas City, to be spent
in this state in a search for a new
producing field.
1--WE are only producers" said Mr..
Danciger. I'VE have no refineries in
the strict sense of that word, for our
business is drilling for oil and selling
it on the market. We have 25 produc-
ing wells in Arkansas, Louisiana, Tex
as and Oklahoma at the present time" F"
Mr.. Danciger was accompanied to
Miles City by R. E. Morris of Baker.
The Rio Grande-Gulf Oil and Gas com
pany have 10000 acres of leased land
in the Baker-Glendive structure. There
is a probability of the company drill
ing wildcat well in this structure,
impressed as the officers are with the
showing made in the well being drill
ed there at the present time. This will
depend, said Mr.. Danciger, upon what
is determined after consulting a com
petent geologist.

lowing the adjournment of the thirty
eighth annual convention here We'd
nesday, Joined with the citizens of
Miles City in celebrating the construc-
ton of the Montana Wyoming rail-
road, which was observed by speech
making and the driving of the first

chamber of commerce, introduced the
speakers. Congressman McClintock
of Oklahoma, representative of form
er Governor Haskell of Oklahoma,
president of the new railroad, made
the response to the address of well
come to the officials of the road. He
declared that the speechmaking would
not be remembered but the driving of
the spike of a railroad tapping rich
territory from Miles City to Salt
Creek, distance of 326 miles, would
always be treasured as a date Of
great development.
II. Garfield of Sheridan, Wyoming
suggested that now the railroad had
been secured after a long fight, that
people generally should refrain from
starting a fight on the road. Con-
gressman Leavitt spoke in behalf of
the people of Montana and Charles e.
Brown, chairman of the railroad COM
mittee of Miles City, was then intro
duced as the man to drive the spike
Mr.. Brown, after remarking there had
been too much talking and that action
was what people wanted, drove the
spii1e. Two dozen Miles City business
men donned overalls and laid the ties
and rails preliminary to the spike
driving.

Careful Seeding Necessary
To Grow Good Crop Of Corn

ito good steers it will put on from
five to six pounds of beef and still
make eight or ten pounds of pork with
hogs following the cattle. | marketed
one bunch of hogs this winter that
had followed the cattle and got all OF
their feed from the waste. They gain
ed ITO pounds in 82 days, and they
were good enough to bring 40 cents
above the top market price. am now
finishing up car of feeders with the
second bunch of hogs following them.
These will soon be ready to go.
I'VE have 20 full blood Duroc sows
that we expect to supply us with
waste consumers for next fall. AS this
is not intended to tell any one else
how to do any of these things, but
simply stating the way that it is prov
ing the most profitable to us, | will
say that we have definite plan to
dispose of corn crop in mind before
we plant a hill
Some of it, we select seed corn
from, then turn in bunch of steers
and hogs to harvest the rest. Some of
it We cut for fodder and feed corn and
all. Some of it we husk out and feed
with alfalfa to finish up on, but al
ways we aim to have enough hogs to
take care of the waste.
"One hing sure-success with corn
means putting it in right, taking care
of it, and having a definite plan in
feeding it to bring in a net cash re-
turn. | might add that if the state
would put a bounty on scrub bulls, in
a few years we would have the right
kind of stock to feed corn to at
profit. So figure on marketing your
corn as a finished product, not in its
raw state.
while corn cultivator and man
who knows how to run it are very
hard on wild oats and Russian thist-
les, those pests probably won't be-
come extinct for some time yet.

FROST RUINS TOBACCO
WORTH FOUR MILLIONS

MADISON.-The scent cigar and
cheaper cigarettes will disappear from
the market as a result of the enormous
damage to tobacco crops in Wiscon-
sin and in other sections of the coun-
try, cigar manufacturers here predict.
The loss in Wisconsin tobacco fields
by frosts is estimated at S4,OOOO00.
Reports from other tobacco raising
sections of the United States, particu-
1arly in New England, show heavy
damage was done there.
Late potatoes were almost all frozen
in the Waupaca, Rhinelander and
Barron districts, reports to Paul Ny
hus, state crop reporter, indicated
Friday. This will greatly reduce the
forecast of 27,000,000 bushels in the
state.
1000 acres of nearly ripe tobacco
was more or less damaged in Vernon
county week before last when hail cut
a wide swathe through the fields. The
farmers had barely absorbed this
shock when frost on two nights clean
ed what tobacco was left. Two weeks
ago the fields looked like $500 an
acre. Today they are stripped and
wilted leaves.

WAY FOUND TO MAKE
ANTHRACITE OF Ignite

Completion of apparatus which
makes it possible to manufacture an
thracite coal from comparatively
worthless Ignite was announced by
the federal bureau of mines recently.
Efforts will be made at once by Off
Gals of the interior department, it
was said, to interest some commercial
concern in the invention so that its
benefit may be made available to the
public.
The Importance of the discovery
may be realized the bureau said, When
it is known that the United States pos
sesses 1,O51 ,29O, 100000 tons of easily
mined Ignite, of which 964,OOO,OOO, 900
tons are located in North and South
Dakota and Montana. This territory
annually imports large tonnages OF
anthracite and bituminous coal.
