Where the Farmers Come In

Alfred M. Landon OF Kansas headed a committee
representing independent operators during the mar
keting crisis last winter and was active in the fight
for an oil tariff. In a recent address he had some
thing to say OF the producer and landowner directly
affected. This. for instance:
Many think OF the oil and gas industry only In
terms OF barrels Of oil produced and the volume OF
gas marketed and the benefits to the producer and
landowner directly affected. They o'not realize that
millions of acres OF land are leased, rentals and bon
uses paid for them. from which no oil or gas is ever
produced" Those who give thought to the matter. the
Kansas operator said. know that the oil and the gas
business has done much 70 tighten the burdens Of
Kansas land owners. during these strugglesome times
on the farms. I am speaking now Of the annual rem
tai Of one dollar an acre which Is ordinarily paid on
the 1~2,5O0.00O acres or Kansas land under lease by
the oil industry for the purpose Of deferrng drilling :"
There appears TO be many sides to the petroleum
problem. All this is a reminder that the present prora-
ton order issued by the Texas railroad commission
expires July lSt, and that a hearing for conSdera-
ton OF the %proration figure for the period beginning
July | will take place Monday, June @. Another babble
