w. z. Patton. president of the
Anna Bell Wyoming oil company,
left Saturday morning for the Pickett
Lake structure in the Red Desert
region TO inspect tho condition Of the
road preparatory to a resumption of
drilling by the company on its Pickett
Lake test. Drilling was suspended
at about 2.4OO feet with tho advent
OF evere weather last winter and tho
district IS on OF the latest to open
mp in the spring. Recent reports
from there stated tina the snow was
stlll deep IN places but IT is believed
that transportation will soon DO pos
stbie and enable tho crew to string
tools again.
When work was halted the bit was
working ia lime formation with a
considerable showing Of oil, 1t is
expected that the well can be com
pleted in 80 days. The location is in
section 1O-26-77, which is tho center
OF a 2,560-acre tract which the com
pany controls. Officials are optimistic
over possibilities Of a strike and news
OF developments will also be interest

workers.

Wool Prices Lag
Behind the World Market

BOSTON. Mass. May 5.-The Com
mercial Bulletin today says:
THE Boston wool market less
strangely behind the other markets
of the word. in spite of the act that
consumption goes on at a heavy pace
at the mills. There is a rather quiet
demand for the finer qualities of
combing woods and occasionally a call
for fine clothing types. but prices
still are below the parity of rates in
London and decidedly behind the
prices being paid in the west. In fact,
occasional sales of low grade woods
have been made lately at concessions
in this market.

Cows and Hens Farmers Friends.


A banker Is pretty good fellow
whom to get first hand information
relative to the financial standing of his
patrons. o. Fl. Keller of the First
National Bank at Winamac Indiana.
whose dealings for the past twenty
years have been almost entirely with
farmers, tells US this interesting story
in recent issue of The Dairy Farmer.
''The reason why Pulaski county did
not suffer during this after war period
like other Counties" says Keller, sis
because her farmers were paving
attention to a wellrounded system
which included poultry and cows.
They have had Il steady income altho
in wartime it did not amount to the
dizzy heights that We're obtained in
some of the grainfarming counties.
From the number of cream, milk.
poultry and egg checks that mill thru
this bank and from information from
other bankers, | estimate that this
county's income from the sale of live
stock and hog products is a million
dollars year while the farm income
from dairy and poultry product is
about three-quarters of million per
year"
Mr.. Keller says that bank deposits
have made steady increase in Pulaski
county since March, 1918, a statement
that cannot be made of many grain
farming counties. In March, 1918, the
total deposits in the bank of the county
were 81 BAT, 900; in March, 1919, they
had gone up to $2,6l4,0OO, while the
March, 1920, figure is $2,6l4, 200. In
March, 1921, they were So, 1856, 900, and
in March, 1922, they amounted to
81, $4,000 The figures as of Decem-
Der %. 1922 seow total bank deposits
for the county of S2,35S. 600. These
figures are conclusive evidence that
farmers who put their feed thru live
stock are the ones who have steady
income altho they may not make a
great killing at any one time Records
show that Pulaski county farmers feed
up eighty per cent of the grains and
roughages grown on the farms.
81 do not claim to know much about
farming" Keller continued, but l
have noticed during my twenty years of
experience that those farmers who
really go into partnership with their
wives are the ones who make the
most money in the long run. Not
much poultry and egg money comes
across our counter from farms where
the hens are huddled togethered in
stuffy little coops, where the chicks
are reared under hens and the wife is
stopping about the lots in boots after

Designation of five more grain ex-

the grain futures act, recently up

Department..
The five organizations which thus
aaTo qualified for trading under the

While this litigation was pending no

The list of designated exchanges"
said department statement yester-

The Department IT Agriculture has
found a quite gene1Il miSunderstand-

grain futures act Many person
seem to think it will stop Specula-

no check on any Individual in buying
or selling short for ordinary specula-

Purpose of Act.
One of the chief purposes of the act
Is TO curb manipula ton and operations
OF big professional spectators who
may by their trading improperly in

Slble tor the government to demand
that the designated exchanges take
precautions TO prevent their members
from issuing false or misleading state

influence prices or trading. In short
the purpose of the act is not to inter-
