Well, the national statesman came
with such bubble of smiles to divide

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Under a
general policy Of "get your neigh
boris oil before he gets yours" hun
dreds Of millions Of barrels of oil
and hundreds of millions of dollars
have been wasted during the devel-
opment of the American oil industry
to its present chaotic period of over
production.
This waste still goes on.
It is due not so much to overpro-
duction, but 1atther to overcompe-
tition among producers. Here is
how the present systenl-which even
so cautious man as President
Coolidge has called "wasteful to an
alarming degree works:
Oil deposits, especially the largest
and richest, spread out under large
areas Of land, the surface ownership
of which Is divided among many in
dividuals and competing companies.
Once a reservoir is tapped, the oil

Of natural gas within. When the
gas gives out, the oil stops flowing,
or subsidies to negligible proportions.
First to Drill Wins
The first man to drill gets the OIL
To use a concrete example, suppose
40 companies each own ten acres in
400 acres covering an oil deposit of
like dimensions. If 80 of them agree
to leave the oil in the ground, the
other owner is still able, under the
present disorganized condition of
the industry, to drill his own wells
and pump off all the eXtractable oil
in the entire field.
The result is mad scramble to
get the largest amount of oil while
the getting is good. And the natur-
al gas pressure that produces the oil
is reduced as each new we'll begins
to flow.
It is this sort of thing which oc-

The old system of landing here has

Follow Women, Improve,

London.-Suggestion that men fmi

Zone of the best things we can do
is to initiate our women folk" he said
''for not only have they added to the
gladness Of life by the beauty of their
dress but number of women have
improved their physique out of ali
proportion to US males.
"Also another point worth noting is
that it takes the modern girl far less
time to dress and undress than it does
the modern man. What would the
Victorians have thought of condition
like that?"
Lord Dawson said he thought that
anything which gladdens the heart of
man adds to his health, and, therefore.
he could not completely condemn al
cohol "for it, too, plays it's part of
gladdening the human heart"

III Potatoes Dug From
Hill in West Canada

Saskatoon, Sask.-J. II. Hoover, a
! farmer living near Battleford, recent
! ly established worlds record when
he dug a total of III potatoes from
one hill on his land.
According to Hoover, his phenom-
email yield of tubers came from a
single parent spud. 1t took him ap-
proximately ten seconds last spring
to plant the prize hill and more than
16 minutes to garner the harvest,
which filled a bushel basket.
The potato crop all over Saskatch-
evan has been abundant and has kept
pace with the wheat crop in unusual
acreage yields. Total yield of pota-
toes, it is estimated, will reach 4,O0O.-
600 hundredweight.
Ordinarily the average yield of po-
tatoes in the province is about so
hundredweight an acre, but the 1927
crop is expected to run much higher.
Total value of the provinces potato
yield, for 1927. it is said. will be well
over S4.3OO.OOO.

OXYGEN IS VITAL
TO WORKING cow
Good Supply of Fresh Air at
All Times Essential to
Production.

A dairy cow producing milk needs
800 three-gallon pailfuls of air every
hour, reports the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute. The spongy sacks which
form the cows lungs are equal to the
area of a city lot 5Ox170 feet, and to
keep this mass of tissue functioning
normally requires about 5000 cubic
feet of fresh, clean air each hour. .
In making these facts known the
Institute stresses upon farmers the
great, Importance of making available
to their dairy herds good supply of
pure, fresh air at all times. This is
especially to be remembered during
the 200 to 240 days out of every year
which the average dairy COW spends in
the stable. s4eL
A dairy cow needs the oxygen in the
air to purify her blood, and to digest
and assimilate her feed and turn it
into heat, body repairing material and
milk, says the Institute. Without air.
