In great many cities OF the coun-

Just a short time ago, wheat was

sumner as correct. The only conyic-
ton Is that the price OF wheat has

Some rough estimates on what

are as follows:

Of flour for each person.
A barrel OF flour will produce about
$50 loaves OF bread.

Yoakun, Tex, Jan. al. c. Webb,
president Of the State Farmers Union,
with headquarters in this city, is very
enthusiastic about the work of the body
of which lie is the head, and recently
outlined a few of the accomplishments
and aims Of the organization. The
prime purposes of the union he says are
"to discourage the mortgage and credit
system, to assist its members in buy
ing and selling, and to educate the agri-
culture classes in the science of agri-
culture"
Mr.. Webb has long been prominently
identified with the Texas Farmers
Union. He was president Of the Lamar
county union in 1905; later president
of the Baylor county union, and in
1914 secretary of the Wichita Valley
district unions. From 1916 TO 1921 he
was a member of the state executive
committee. He served two years rs
cotton grader and classer for the state
market and warehouse department. In

partment of agriculture and was assign
ed TO duty at San Marcos, Texas. lie

program Of the Texas Highway As
sociation during Highway Week, Col.
o. n. Powell, highway engineer, adj.
dressed the meeting on the laws OF
Texas relating to the building OF i'm
proved highways.
At the close of his talk a unanimous
rising vote was given for the changes
in the road laws that will conform 10
the statutes of other states, where it
has been found by experience to be
equitable such as addition to motor
license fees. tonnage taxes for CONNER
cial vehicles such as trucks, and an
increase in the gasoline tax TO not
over two cents per gallon.
H. NJ. Ford, superintendent OF the
King ranch was present and gave an
interesting talk on dairy farming in
Southwest Texas. His remarks were
well received by the large number of
farmers present. Mr.. Ford showed
how the dairy farmers in his part Of
the state are making n financial sue
cess. The Karnes county farmers are
beginning TO realize the benefit of
diversified farming, which includes
dairy, hogs and poultry.

BIC DEMAND FOR
GASOLINE soon
Record Consumption This
Spring and Summer In
dicated, They Say.
CRUDE OILS ADVANCE
But Fear Held That Big
Drilling Campaign Will
Bring Down Prices.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 25.-That the
demand for gasoline this spring and
summer will be the greatest known in
the face OF an indicated consumption
that will likely break all records .ap-
pears to be the opinion of major pur-
chasers OF crude oil in the United
States, hence the recent increases in
the posted prices of light oils in prac-
tically every section except on the
West Coast. where cut was handed
the California producers recently.
1t is the opinion of many that the
consistent premiums paid by the indie
pendent refiners in the Mid-Continent
brought about the recent boosts, and
other sections simply followed the trend.
The last week saw boost of 20 cents
for Mexia crude while Currie crude, Al
gravity and above, was advanced 40
cents a barrel 10 1920. The Prairie
led in the raise and the other com
panies followed. This places the Cur
rie Al and above oil on par with
the North Texas and other Mid-Con-
tinent oils of the same grade, although
there is some difference between the
Currie crude and the other light oils.
Drilling Is Stimulated.
word comes from North and central
West Texas that the new prices will
stimulate wildcat drilling this spring.
And that's what many of the well.
posted oil men fear. They say the
prices are far better than they were,
but that another big drilling campaign
may ruin everything by bringing about
tremendous production. They are
urging that the producers do not drill
too many wells, but make all the money
they can on their old wells by keeping
them in the best Of producing condi.
ton.
There was an increase in the daily
average production of crude in the
United States during the week ending
January 20, when the total reached L.
767, $50 barrels against 1,T4S,S20 bar
rels the previous week. according to fig
ures compiled by the Oil Weekly. Cali
fornia production has now reached the
total Of $4,000 barrels daily, while
there is an increase in runs from the
Mountain States fields. Texas was off
a little during the week, but Okla.
homa shows another increase.

PECOS WELL MAKES
TWO HEADS OF OIL,
CAUSING SENSATION
Showing Expected to Stimu-
late Wildcat Operations
in Vicinity.

The attention OF oil operators again
was directed on Peeos county last week
when w. S. Troy and associates wild
cat test on the Howell johnson tract
made two heads of black oil, said to
have amounted TO a total of about 20
barrels before being shut in at 5000
feet,
Pecos county first attracted atten-
ton early in January, 1921, when the
Grant Oil Corporations No. 10 Turney
ranch began flowing at depth Of 96
feet. The well was reported at one
time TO be good for from 1900 TO 2400
barrels daily, although il is said 70
have flowed only about 700 barrels I'M
til the gas pressure was expended.
The Troy well is located in Section
90, Block 40, 7. st. L. railroad COM

east of Fort Stockton and about six
miles north of the Orient railroad. II
der Well" on the Turney ranch.
Considerable significance is attached
to the well, due to the fact that produc-
ton was found below the 3000-foot
level with sufficient gas pressure TO
throw oil up into the. derrick. Wild
cat operations are expected TO be ma
terially increased as result Of the
showing in this well.
1t is stated by the driller Of the well
that 6 5-S-inch casing was being raised
to underream when the well made its
first flow. After the we'll made its
second flow 1t was shut in and a guard
placed on the derrick floor to prevent
visitors from coming near. The own.
ers of the well have announced that op-
erations will not be resumed until GER
tain individuals interested in the test
arrive on the scene.
