New York Slum "Kids" Coming
The canvass of Smyrna for fam
lilies interested in entertaining chill
dren from New York for two weeks
in July is taking place. The re-
suits have been very gratifying to
the committee. There will be a
special meeting of the committee
on Saturday night, June 18th, at
seven o'clock in the office of War
ner w. Price. 1t is desired that all
those families who have not de-
clared their intention to receive
one or more of these children will
express that desire to Mr.. Ralph
FAIRIES or any member of the COM
mittee before that time. Many
people have asked the question why
Smyrna does not entertain chill
dren from Wilmington who are in
need of a vacation in the country
instead of bringing into our town
these children from New York
City. The reason is simply that
there is no organization in the
State of Delaware which sponsors
such a movement as the one being
sponsored by the Tribune Fund.
In as much as it is impossible for
Smyrna to aid those children in her
own State needing help, it was de
cided by the committee that it
would be much better to help those
who have applied to us for help
than to render assistance to no one.

CROP LOANS TO
KENT FARMERS
Russell E. Wilson, County Ag-
ricultural Agent, Urges
Prompt Action
SPRING CLOSING JUNE Is

The last date which the Farm
Credit Administration will accept
applications for emergency crop
loans this spring is June Is, ac-
cording to a statement received re-
Gently by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, who has charge of these
loans in Kent county under the di-
rection of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. AL
though June Is is the dead-line, all
applications must be filed in the
county extension Offices a day or
two in advance of this date in order
that they may reach the regional
offices in time to be forwarded to
the headquarters of the Federal
government before the closing
hours on Saturday of this week. In
applying for these crop loans farm
ers should bear in mind these facts,
as no extension of time will be al
lowed by the Farm Credit Admin
istration. Within the past few
weeks crop loans have been issued
only to those farmers who have
started their farming operations,
as the Farm Credit Administra-
tion considers that due to the late
date it is not advisable to approve
crop loans on those farms where
no crops have been planted this
spring. The only exception to this
administrative ruling, therefore, is
regarding those farms where crops
are now growing, and where farm
ers need additional cash with which
to carry their crops through the
season. To date 81 emergency crop
loans amounting to S6995 have
been approved this spring in Kent
county, or an average of about
SIPS per borrower, as compared to
$500 loaned in 1884 to So farm
ers, or an average of S1O6 per
farmer. In 1888 there were AZ
farmers who borrowed a total of
S588O, with an average of S14O,
while in 1882 a total of S615O was
loaned to % farmers. making an
average of 1920 per borrower.
When these crop loans were first
issued in this county in the spring
of 1881 only 5 farmers applied for
this form of credit, and but $3.50
was loaned, or an average of S92
per farmer OF these 81 crop loans
in Kent county this spring, 60 per-
cent of them have been issued to
land owners and 40 percent to ten
ants, and the average size of these
farms is 102 acres. In Offering
these loans to farmers who are un-
able to obtain credit from any 9th
er source, the Federal government
takes as security a lien on all crops
either planted or to be planted on
these farms, and the repayments
on these loans are to be made from
the sale of crops.

With only a small fraction of the
available location in the field drilled
out, the outlook for Kevin-Sunburst
was rather discouraging, until there
arrived man named Moore who In
sisted that he could pour muriatic ac-
id into these holes, causing the acid to
eat cavity in the lime and develop
new channels Of production.
Thus came the science of acidizatiOn
of wells in Kevin-Sunburst field.
The result is that estimates of total
production per acre have had to be
revised Every bit Of non-prOducing
royalty we bought in this field was
on the basis of an expected recovery
which would pay us an absolute mini
mum of $40 return for each 81 In
vested The result is that our average
return will exceed our expectation
of $40 to 81 and may go as high as
$40 to 81. That is our AVERAGE
purchase Many win run as high as
$50 to 81 and in some cases return
Of 500 to each 81 invested is not
beyond the realm Of possibility.
Thus the man who bough royalty
in Kevin-Sunburst field 10 years ago
and had been unfortunate enough to
have no development has actually
seen the probable value of his pro-
perty appreciate from so to 100 per
cent
There have been many discouraging
moments in the history of Kelvin
Sunburst. Hundreds of dry holes"
have brought heart-aches to operators
and to the owners of the land and
their partners investors who have
purchased royalties. Since the COM
ing Of acid, it is known that any one
of these dry holes might have been
a 100 or 200 barrel well, had they
been treated with acid. The pro-
portion of dry holes" that have
failed to make SOME sort of pro-
Queer with acid treatment is so small

KEVZN PROVIDES A THRILL

livery OWNER OF ROYALTY
in Kevin-Sunburst field should
thrill with the news of the re-
suits of the application of acid on
wells in this field.
During the past week we saw a
bone dry hole converted into 100
barrel well.
The well is the TexacO-K enney No.
6, on which farm members Oh this ar
ganizatiOn own royalty.
Last week the Journal told of the
drilling of this well, saying:
1T win take an acid bath to
save The Texas company from its
first threatened failure of the
present year in Kelvin gunburst-
Its Kinney No. 6, NEA NWN
16-36-2W, has only a small show
Of oil at 1859. II will be acidix-
ed and Observer say thak IL il
makes an oil well it win be q
remarkable demonstration. +"
This well was treated with acid, as
scheduled, and was put on the pump.
1t produced 213 barrels Of oil in the
first "a hours.
At our last reports IL was still
pumping around 8 barrels per
hour-around 200 barrels per
day. Il viii doubtless make 100
barrels per day for some time
to come.
Where else can an operator drill
a 16O0-foot well and get any such
productionf
It proves, Enthusiastically, that the fu-
ture history of KeWn-Sunburst viii
be inscribed in golden letters
The Kenney farm is located in the
center of the oldest part Of the field.
1t is an area that everyone thought
was worked OUT Without acid, it
is improbable that this area would
have had much future development.
The wells are small and there is no
appreciable gas head.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1935-07-13

that it is apparent that Kevin-Sun-
burst losses in the future will be neg
hgible.
The record of the Texas company
is a pretty good index Of what may
be expected from future develop
ment in Cut Bank field. 1t drilled
one well on the Sarah Swears farm,
where the wells are so small as to
make them of doubtful value Uti-
liking acid, the company completed a
50-barrel well Going onto the Fenna
Bruins farm Texaco drilled a second
well which by the use of acid was
converted into a 50-barrel producer.
The third well is making over 100
barrels per day, as above stated.
Where else can an oil operator
make such record3 Certainly there
are few spots where wells can be
drilled more cheaply and more prof.
tably.
There is 100000 acres of poten-
tial oil and gas land in the vast
Kevin-Sunburst uplift. The surfaces
has not been scratched. There are 1O0,-
100000 barrels Of oil to be produced,
in this vast area.
Fortunate is the owner of royalty
in Kevin-Sunburst The investor who
can buy royalties in this field, priced
"right" can regard his investment as
money in the bank" absolutely
safe.
The speculative venture in this
field is not the presence Of profitable
production in the lime but DEEP
SAND PRODUCTION, which has not
been developed but which is coming
as certainly as day follows night
time.
Fabulous fortunes will go to those
who have faith enough to live it
ont with Kevin-Sunburst.
