This organization petitioned Inter
national Refining Co. to accept pro-
rata deliveries from those operators
who have no market. International
is now dividing its market with
Kevin-Sunburs producers. Having
no market for its Cut Bank crude
in Canada, International is running
part of its Cut Bank production to
the sunburst plant and has read
justed the runs of all Kevin-Sun-
burst producers, including those OF
The Texas company. Now the Cut
Bank producers ask for a further
curtailment of runs by Kelvin pro-
dueers to make it possible for them
to sell part of their crude.
The reply of the international is
that The Texas company win join in
any plan of curtailment joined in
and adhered to by all producers
in the fields and the consumers.
This means that international will
agree to buy prorata proportionately
with Northwest, Home and others.

A report received late Friday
from Taber. in southern Alberta
was that the Taber No. 2 well was
drilled into the sand. The first
two feet was oil bearing but the
next foot penetrated water which
quickly came up several hundred
feet in the hole. Whether the water
can be plugged Off is problematical.
The No. / and No. will probably
be lost holes, owing to collapsed
secondhand casing.

one subject discussed and owe
which a great deal Of concern was
expressed by the operators was the
dissipation of gas from the produc-
ing sands. 1t was felt that a great
deal of constructive work could be
done by finding the critical back
pressure to be held on the produc-
ing sand and obtain maximum pro-
duction: 1t would entail individual
supervision by each lease operator
and cooperative effort to obtain
beneficial results for all.
Those present expressed the 0pin-
ion that a great deal of benefit was

The shad have many enemies,
the young shad especially, and
the eggs have many more. Like
in any plant or animal husbandry,
the create. t loss is in the stages Of
carly development. The shad, like
many others of our commercial
fishes, does not protect its eggs.
Nature plans with such fishes to
make up for their deficiency by
giving them q good allowance of
eggs. They produce from $4,000 to
100000. The shad enter fresh
water from the sea for the sole
purpose CT spawning. The season
