Picking Practical Men

Pres. Hoover appears to be picking practical men
as members of the federal farm board created by the

of Kentucky is the founder and president Of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Growers association. He will be desig-
mated as chairman. His association was organized
in 1921. He is a leader among the cooperatives and the
organization of which he is the directing head is do
ing a business of $50, 900, 900 yearly.
Charles B. Denman is president Of the Livestock
Producers association; he IS the owner of a big stock

An Important Oil Lease Decision

This is a supreme court decision: The oil and gas
lease ordinarily used in Texas is executed for the sole
and only purpose Of exploring for and producing min
erals, and conveys q d"eterninable fee to the mineral
IN favor of the party promising to drill the well, and
the requirement that lessee use reasonable diligence to
explore for and produce the minerals is not a condi-
ton subsequent but a covenant, and that a failure
of the lessee to reasonably explore the leased premises
or to produce the oil when discovered does not give
the lessor, or land owner, a right to forfeit and can
eel the lease.
According to the opinion handed down by the su-
preme court of Texas if reasonable diligence were the
test used to determine whether or not a lease is for
feited neither the lessee nor the lessor could ever
know when the lease comes to an end. A lease can
be forfeited and cancelled only when the lessee aban-
dons the premises or fails to drill or produce oil as
required by the lease or ceases to use the land for the
purpose defined in the lease. Texas is an oil produc-
ing state. 1t would be well for those engaged in the
leasing industry to read the opinion Of the. high
court of Texas.
