into the sand on Sept. l. The Cut Bank
sand was found at 2675 feet and drilling
continued to 2810. Oil rose $500 feet almost

Secure Market Data
On the other hand, the Montana
commission made q careful survey
OF production during the past week
securing from the various buyers
OF oil their estimated monthly re
quirements. It was found that there
was no increase IN storage in North
Montana oil fields during the
months OF July and August. Dur
ing three months the amount Of
storage actually decreased, SO while
the state exceeded its allotment,
more oil was purchased by refiner-
les than actually produced during
the 31-day period.
Hang Onto Pondera
Another interesting angle was the
reported refusal Of Canadian buy
ers to reiinauish amp Pondera pre-
duction. Montana refiners are re-
ported to hare offered 10 take up
to 500 barrels Of pondera crude,
which would allow the use OF 500
barrels Of Kelvin sunburst crude,
but the canadiam buyers refused 60
take the exchange.
It is reported that the Great

Why Trees Do Not Bear,
 Not Hard to Figure Out

Thrifty foliage. free from insects and disease. Is essential to fruit pro- ductiOn. Leaves on weakened trees cannot build enough food for flower. bud formation on which the fruit de- bends. Cold weather. also, may kill buds and injure other parts of the tree.
 In addition, pollination affects the set of fruit, and bad weather may in- terfere with pollination. Other fac tors that influence fruit production are abundance of water, well-drained soil, tree nourishr ,ent. and orchard prac- tices, such as pruning. cultivation, fer tillzation. and spraying. Several of these conditions can be partially con- trolled by man.

But in the course of century we have add ed almost day too much. The years divisible by 100 are therefore not leap years, except when they are also di- visible by 400.

Why Parachute Has Hole

Tn the type of parachute most wide, iy used Is hole in the center of the top. The hole relieves the pressure set up as the chute opens and air is compressed beneath the parachute can opy. Also the hole tends to prevent the rider from swinging from side to side as the parachute descends. Such swinging. thirty feet below the chute itself. could result In severe injury tn landing. By permitting the air com pressed beneath the canopy to escape through the hole. the tendency of the canopy to swing tto permit the escape cf air from beneath the canopy's edge) Is greatly lessened. Due to an elas- tic band arrangement about the hole, the size of the aperture is increased as air pressure is applied.

WHY:
Some Varieties of Birds Lose
 Their Power of Flight

Scientists hope that a wingIess Ply mouth Rock rooster, now in the Ma tionai Geological park, may throw some light on the problem of why some species of birds lose their power of flight, as well as on the evolution. ary origin and mechanism of flying, says the Washington Star.
 This bird is normal specimen in every respect, except that it has no wings. Wingless specimens of nor mally winged birds reported hitherto have died shortly after birth, but ap, parently the normal progress of this rooster In the egg went on without the disturbance of anything except the flight mechanism.
 Dr. Herbert Friedman, curator of birds of the Smithsonian institution, who obtained the bird from Rose Hill, Ky, hopes to find out from him what happened to Inhibit the growth of wings-provided dissection shows he has no rudimentary wing bones inside his body.
 This Is the case with some wingless families, such as the kiwis of New Zea- land. They have wings which do not "cOme out" The wings of birds are qualifications of the same structures which became the front legs, or the arms, of mammal.
 Doctor Friedman will attempt to establish the point of failure ill the development of the rooster. This may serve as key to the general problem of the physical mechanism of bird flight and of its loss in some species, not yet understandable from normal embryological material.
 The earliest known birds, such as the fantastic archaeopteryx, possessed well-developed wings. Loss of the powo 'Nof flight is held to represent degenerative rather than primitive condition among living birds.
