RADIO SEISM0GRAPH
WILL LOCATE OIL
STRUCTURES, CLAIM
Records Tremors From Charge
of Dynamite and Discloses IN
DERIVING Stratas.

The Doodle bug" a specimen of
entomology new to science has been
in operation in the vicinity of Wheat
land, Wyo.
The doodle bug is a mechanical
device to test oil structures from the
surface, somewhat as the OWNERS of
other days tested by means of witch
hazel sticks, ave that the modern di-
viners base their claims on science.
The device which is being used here
is a radio receiving and broadcasting
outfit, built by NJ. A. Sharpe of Den
e for the special purpose of making
tests for oil, and operated by himself.
Sharpe constructs logs Of the stIuc-
tural changes below the surface to the
depth of 5000 feet, his logs being al
most as detailed as those made by
drillers in the course of drilling wells.
He "tunes in" his radio to successive
depths of 100 feet to the 5000 limit
and states that he can tell by the
sounds heard what the structure is
at that depth.
Shapes logs list successive stratas
of gravel, shale, limestone, water-sand
gas and oil, detailing the hardness of
the various structures, and the amount
of oil or gas carried.
The radio doodle bug" has been
given a trial in the Salt Creek field
the past winter, but results obtained
have not been published. The seis-
mograph doodle bug" which is an
adaptation of the instrument used to
record earthquake tremors, is being
used successfully to locate salt domes
along the sea coasts, especially in
Texas fields bordering the Gulf of
Mexico. The modus operendi in this
case is set off charges of dynamite on
the surface, and then record the ire
mors by means of the seismograph.
The salt domes being partly hollow,
due to the teaching away of salt in the
sea water, the formation is easily de-
tected, and as a rule carries oil.
The doodle bug" is scoffed at as 6
rule by the professional biologists
but is regarded as on trial by the OF
companies.-Wheatland Times.

Alfalfa Hay" Each of these will
then be graded as U. S. No. 1, No. 2
u. s. No. 8 depending on the leafin-
ess. Fine alfalfa hay will not have
any stalks with diameter greater than
that of No. ~ steel wire. Coarse
alfalfa hay will have more than 80
per cent of stalks greater than No.
II steel wire in diameter.
Number 1 hay will be go per cen
green with a minimum of % per cen
leaves. Number 3 hay will be less
than 80 per cent green and have less
than % per cent leaves.
Other classes of market hay which
will be graded in about the same way
Alfalfa Light Timothy Mixed, AL

ia Grain Mixed.
Number 1 hay may have up to 5
per cent foreign matter. Any hay
