the extreme depth to which it is
ready to drill.
The largest derrick in the state will
be used to drill the structure. The rig,

CROP EXPERIMENT
STATION WILL BE
ESTABLISHED HERE

Cooperating with the board of
county commissioners the Smith
Hughes department of the Carbon
county high school viii open a small
crop experiment station at the coun-
ty poor farm. The object Of the sta
tion is to test the different varieties
of leading crops in this district with
view of determining which crops
will do best under local conditions.
The extension department of the
Montana state college this year fur
nished the material for experiments
on small grains. Nurseries for test
ing small grains were established in
several counties last year which
proved to be very successful. The
nursery must, however, be carried on
over period of years before definite
reausts can be obtained.
The points to be considered in de-
termining the value of a variety are
yield, smut resistance, and time OF
maturity.
Students in the agricultural class
of the local high school will help car.
ry on the work, at the same time re
ceiving practical knowledge on how
experimental work is conducted.

made by different operating compan-
les. One cash offer of more than
100000 for the Summit Oil COM
pany's interest in the structure was
made soon after operations were be-
gun. The structure is comparatively
small in size, embracing approximate
ly 1000 acres. The surface readings
are distinctly defined the entire dis
tance around the structure and fault
is easily traceable across the area
near the center.
To give our readers some idea of
Mr.. Arnold's standing and associa-
tion with oil operators and geologists
we quote an article which appeared
in the Montana Oil Journal of April
g.:
"Ralph Arnold, noted geologist and
operator, arrived in Great Falls Fri
day from Denver to confer with Mon
tana associates on the 1927 drilling
program which is now starting. Since
his last visit to Great Falls, Mr.. Ar
mold has been in Los Angeles, in Tul-
sa, where he attended the national
meeting of geologists; and in Wash
ington, D. c., where he had luncheon
with President Coolidge, in New
York and Denver, coming here from
Billings where he stopped for one
day conference with associates who
are developing structures in south
east Montana"

RADIO
STATION HERE HAS
UNCOMMON RECORD

What is considered an extraordin-
ary record for an amateur radio sta
tion is held by the amateur station
operated by Orville Viers of this city.
Young Viers has improved his station
to such an extent within year that
he is now able to hold two-way con-
tact with stations in the United
States as well as in Canada and
Hawaii. His call station is 7AAT-7QT.
Signals from it have been received
in South America, Mexico, Cuba, Por-
to Rico, South Africa, Alaska and the
PHILIPPINE Islands.
Viers operates under an official re-
lay and broadcasting appointment and
has the distinction of being section
communications manager of Montana.
His station is regarded as the most
consistent and best all-round traffic
station in the state, moving on great
amount of important traffic each day
on scheduled time. Viers states that
because of attending high school and
because certain amount of ground
must be covered each day he is COM
PEELED to start the day by means of
! traffic schedule at 4:30 each morn
ing, with OH-6MX at Honolulu, and
ends the day by turning in" about
midnight. He further states that he
has been able to carry on two-way
communications as we'll as traffic
work with 1,015 stations since he be-
gan to operate the station in Red
/ Lodge. The power Viers uses is but
Is watts, which is considered remark
able, especially in view of the fact
that Red Lodge is considered poor
location for this kind of work.

OSTLAND AYERS
From Montana Oil journal:

From Montana Oil journal:
F. G. Ostland has been inspecting
Ferdig Oil company operations in
Kevm-Sunburst field. Mr.. Ostland is
now associated with Mr. Ferdig
through his Oregon Basin operations
Mr.. Ferdig is devotng all his person
al attention to Oregon Basin at pres
ent, where he is caring for the Ost-
land wells as we'll as his own.
Mr.. OstlanG is very sanguine about
the outlook in Oregon Basin. There
can not be a very large "play," ow-
ing to the fact that the acreage is
quite closely held, unless wells lower
on the structure find oil. Mr.. Ost-
land has we'll now drilling that is
intended to tap the horizon where the
Ohio found it's, 50,000,000 foot gas
flow. He hopes for light oil at this
horizon, since he is lower on struc-

Ostland and Mr.. Ferdig have exten-
sive permit holdings on the structure.
The Anglo-French interests which
pioneered this field are preparing to
resume operations, Mr.. Ferdig states.
