Q. How long is an oil well good for?
L. o. B.
A. The Bureau of Mines says that
the average life of Oil wells depends
upon the location. Following are
some computations: Bartlesville Field.
Okla, 13 to Is years; Northern Texas
and Louisiana with the exception Of
those of the Ranger, Towel and
Mexia Fields, Is to 20 years; South
eastern Ohio, 10 to Is years; San
Joaquin Valley, Calf, 20 to 20 years;
Appalachian Sections of West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania, 20 10 25
years. 1t must be remembered that
the average life OF an oil well is quite
variable. The rate of development is
very important; rapid drilling and
rapid production will lessen the life,
while gradual drilling and gradual
production will lengthen the life. New
methods of recovery and other things
enter into it.

does not contemplate re-
mOval from the states Of this duty
of forest management. It is intend
ed to be cooperative in spirit and
method; to seek common counsel with
the states, and a correlation of fed
eral and state acquisition activities
under a general program advancing
all interests concerned. The public
interests in forestry must be taken
care of not as primarily a state mat
ter, nor as primarily a federal mat
ter, but through a working partner
ship. This is in accordance with one
of the basic principles which the for
est service has always sought to ap-
ply, Of avoiding undue Capitalization
and of developing localized activities
under a unified program"
The report further states that in
order to make the movement for a
national policy Of forestry = success
it is essential that the forest needs
of each state individually receive the
public attention that their importance
deserves.

HIGH COURT OK'S
GAS TAX statute
Decision Unanimous - Involves
Total of S237,3 plus Pen
aIties-Validates No. 81

HELENA-Montana supreme court
Wednesday upheld the constitutional
ity of the 1925 gasoline tax law
which provides that refiners and dis
tributors shall pay tax of two cents
q gallon.
The unanimous opinion Of the
court involves a total of $237, ,S56.6O,
plus penalties, in unpaid gasoline tax
es. This fund is to go into the state
treasury.
The opinion also validates Initia-
tive Measure No. 81, the "GOOd Roads"
bill passed by a majority of more
than $4,000 at the last general cleo
tion. That measure provides for a
three-cent tax on gasoline, the entire
fund raised to go to the state high
way commission for the construction
in conjunction with federal aid, of
permanent highways.
During the last two years the
state supreme court has held uneOn-
stitutional the 1921 and 1923 gaso-
line tax measures passed by two
previous legislatures. The 1925 law,
which has been held constitutional
was drafted by Albert H. Angstman,
assistant attorney general, and the
legal battles conducted by the state
have been handled from district court
to the supreme court Of the United
States by Mr.. Angstman.
Attack on the 1925 law was made
by the Silver Bow Refining company
of Butte on the ground that it at
tempted to amend a statute which
had been declared unconstitutional
1t was an amendment of the 1872;
law. To this the court replies tha
the 1925 legislature had the power
before 1921 and 1928 acts were de
clared unconstitutional, to remedy b!
amendment the constitutional defect
and therefore the 1925 act is valid a
against the objection that an uncOn
stitutiOnal law can not be amended.

POULTRY RAISERS
in new Combine
Form Organization to Take Care
Of Marketing PrOblems-TO
Elect Officers Dec. 20

Organization Of the "Gallatin POul-
try Growers association" which is
expected to absorb the old Gallatin
County Poultry association and to
take in the turkey growers Of the val
ley, was determined upon at a meet
ing, called by the Gallatin Farm Bu-
reau, held at the court house Monday
afternoon.
A constitution and bylaws will be
prepared and adopted and the new or
ganization will be Incorporated under
the laws of Montana. Annual dues
will be fixed at 81, and every poultry
grower Of the county will be eligible
to membership.
Thirty five Gallatin county poultry
raisers attended the meeting, over
which Chris Mikkelson, president Of
the Farm bureau, presided. The fol-
lowing board of directors was chosen:
N. D. TOwne, Mrs. George Hoell, Jr.;
Mrs. Elmer Border, all of BOzeman;
J. P. ClOninger, Salesville; P. A.
Woodward, Willow Creek; c. H. Pet
erson, Three Forks, and Mrs. NJ. E.
Holmes, Belgrade.
The board will meet December 90
to elect a president, vice-president
and secretary-treasurer, and appoint
a manager whose duties will include
the making Of preliminary arrange
ments for the disposal Of each sea-
sons turkey crop, aid in the grading,
and, if required, assist the buyer in
the final Wark. Arrangements for
Suitable compensation will be made
later.
The organization Of the association
will mean that hereafter all products
of the poultry raisers will be sold
through the pool, and it will not ham
die those who are not members.
: Turkeys will be the chief products,
but the pool will take care of the sale
of chickens, ducks and geese
> either live or dressed.
= Gallatin county was the first coun-
ty in the state to sell poultry through
a pool. Since that time ten other
cOunies have been conducting their
sales in the same manner. Since

misunderstanding the down.
ward trend of the past year, the area
of winter wheat seeded by Montana
farmers this fall is $4,000 acres, or
Is per cent larger than the revised
estimate of 1925 fall seedlings of $780,
900 acres. Actual paintings have ex-
ceeded the August intentions of Mon
tana farmers by per cent, largely
on account of the favorable fall
weather conditions for seeding and
start of the plant, according to the
December report of ]. G. Diamond,

report also finds an increase of 20
per cent in acreage of winter rye
sown, or a total of $4,000 acres COM
pared with 100000 acres harvested
the past season. Both crops were
reported entering the winter dormant
period in excellent shape.

seeded this fall, with average winter
damage, would leave an area for har-

STATES SHOULD ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY
FOREST Land OWNERSHIP, SAYS GREELEY

MISSOULA-That states should
accept their full responsibilities for
forest land ownership and manage
ment as evidence of their interest in
the movement for a national policy
of forestry is clearly set forth by
Col. w. B. Greeley, chief of the Unit
ed States forest service, in his an
nual report.
In the adoption of permanent for
est land ownership and land manage
ment, the report indicates that most
of the states are far behind the fed
eral government. Of the state-own-
ed forest lands little more than
5,5O0,0O0 acres, or So per cent, are
under administration for public pur-
poses, while 100000 acres more
are either subject to private acquisi-
tiOn or being held without final de-
termination of policy.
"State activities in forestry have,
with few notable exceptions, been
developed with other ends primarily
in view than the administration of
public forest properties" declares
the report of the forester. Through
cooperation with the federal govern
ment the states have greatly stimu.
lated and enlarged their fire protec,
tive work, but the time has come fol
the states to grapple in earnest with
that part Of their problem which car
only be met through public fores
ownership.

High School Not
Yet Ready For
Boxing Program

SACRAMENTO, Calf, April 10
High schools of California are not
yet ready to make boxing a part of
their intcrscholastic program, in the
opinion of DR.. Herbert Il. Stolz,
state supervisor of physical cduca-
ton.
Stolz believes years of careful
preparation and a complete divorc-
ing of amateur boxing from the
professional fight game would be
necessary if boxing is to be added
TO interschOlastic activities.
He said he does not believe that
high schools are prepared at present
for competitive bouts and added that
he would oppose any such movement
until the proper groundwork has
been laid.
In years to come, he said, boxing
contests might be added to high
school sports, provided coaches are
willing to develop the art of self
defense Just as carefully as have
coast colleges in the last ten years

Many Diplomatic
Protests Being
Filed in Japan

TOXIC, April l9.-While the for
eipn land officials are still read
ing the very lengthy report of the
police on the incident wherein the
Ambassador from Brazil is accused
of having beaten up policeman
with his cane, fresh diplomatic col
onv complications are piling up.
From the Soviet Embassy has
come an informal protest against the
ruling Of the chief Of police that the
PLAYING of the Russian national air
the Intcrnationalc-is not allowed
except at the Embassy.
me Mexican minister has filed n
strong protest against the playing
of the Mexican national air-La Pa
loma-as musical accompaniment
for Charlie Chaplin s latest movie,
the "Gold Rush. AS every on in
Japan knows La Paloma, while very
few know that it is the Mexican an
them. the protest considerably sur
prised the movie people, but they
hastily agreed TO eliminate the tune
hereafter.
The third protest was filed by
the German Embassy against the
captions on an American movie,
claimed 10 be anti-German, which
was being shown at the Imperial
Theatre. On the strength OF the
protest the censor got busy with his
shears, and Imperial Theatre pat
rops had 70 do their own guessing
as to what the picture was about,
with many of the captions delcted.
