The SECRETARY OF the Interior MAGE
arrangements with the Midwest Re.
filming company. whereby they have
agreed to pay to the government rs
cents above the field price for rov-
ernment royalty oil delivered to them
at Salt Creek between the termina-
ton Of crude oil to the shipping
board approximately November 1o)
and January /, 1923. at which time
the government royaty oil viii be
sold under the recent contract to the
Sinclair Crude OIL Purchasing com.
pany. at Mi6scontinent prices.
Il think that you will agree with
me that The Secretary has materially
increased the revenue Of the stata Of
wyoming through these transactions.
For example. between the termina.
ton of deliveries to the shipping
board November 10. 1890 and Jan
uary !. 1929. approximately $780, O
barrels of government royalty oil
will be delivered. and the increased
revenue of rs cent per barrel for
this period will total Sis, 1000. The
state Of Wyoming viii be benefited
during this period of fifty-one days
by an increased revenue of $43,125
over and above the amount which
would have been received II the sec.
rotary had not required the Midwest
Refining company to pay an addi.
tional rs cents per barrel during
these nfty-one days.

"2.-The Caaper refiner has a de-

might be built there unless such a

Pressure stills of the Burton type "a

a gasoline yield practically twice as
high as could be obtained by a
straight dis~tIllation. The Casper plant
produces a minimum amount Of fuel

district. This also gives the plant
a decided advantage over a refinery

Use RADIO MARKET
news EXTENSIVELY
Farmers Employ II for Obtaining
Nations Reports

Washington, March a.--Farrhers
are making use OF the radio In OBJ
tanning market reports. Nationwide.
practical use of these reports sent
broadcast by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture Is indicated
In survey just completed. Nearly
s per cent Of the hundreds OF returns
to an inquiry sent out by radio were
from farmers who had radio receiv-
ing equipment. The remainder OF the
returns were from grain dealers, mills,
elevators. banks. telephone compan-
les, cooperative organizations, farm
bureaus, and other agencies which
disseminate the reports among large
groups Of farmers.
Greatest interest was shown In the
grain market reports, which inform
farmers of wheat, corn and oats prices
at the leading grain markets. Next In
importance came thelive stock reports
OF prices and movements at the prin-
cipal livestock markets of the coun-
try. The weather reports came next,
followed by reports on poultry pro-
ducts. fruits and vegetables, dairy
products, hay. cotton, and other farm
crops.
Radio had developed more rapidly
IN the Middle West in the corn. wheat
anil livestock growing regions than in
other farm sections. the survey
shows. Missouri, Illinois and Iowa
lead In number of responses. Many
farmers in this territory own radio
equipment and praise the practical
value of the service. In other sections
farmers congregate at central points
to get the radio reports, but an in
creasing disposition toward installa-
ton of sets for private use is indicat-
ed.
This Is the first survey made by the
department to determine how widely
its radio market reports are being re-
ceived and used by farmers, and af-
fords much valuable information 'foi
developing the service to the maxi
mum Of efficiency. 1t has been known
in general way that the service has
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-03-09

been OF value to producers and other
agricultural interests In the market
ing OF crops and TO consumers
through the regulating OF market sup
plies, but definite data were not avail
able until developed by the present
survey.
The department practically covers
the country with Its radio market
news and farmers everywhere are us
ing the service to aid them In con-
Quoting the business end OF their In
dustry. In the replies numerous farm
ers gave instances OF specific savings
resulting from use OF the Information,
one farmer declaring that he regarded
radio ASIA "direct gift from Cod
Numeroa general stores and banks in
small towns say that establishment or
their places of business as central
point for receiving the reports had
resulted In tremendously increased
business in many directions. The
service has had far-reaching results
other than removing the Isolation
which surrounds rural dwellers by
reason OF their location from centers
of activity, and the bringing OF vital
market data to farmers with almost
unreasonable speed.
The survey shows there are now
few places in rural districts where
people congi egate even In small
groups that are without the dement's
OF radio. Agricultural leaders see IN
this tho deyelopment OF q true COM
munity spirit which forms large
mart of the base of agricultural pro-
perity. The Department of Agricul-
ture is much gratifled at the popuiari-
ty and practical value Of the RADIO
market news and Is now making plans
for the further development and utili-
zation of the service.
