 "In your own phrase, take a i gander," Doc said. He pointed toward the bend in the road.
 "Hellfire and campfre!' I said for there wasn't any Hanging Tree. Did you fools cut it down?"

 Old Swoby spoke up. No more hanging there."

 Exactly he said. We left the axe sticking in the stump. It was my initials on it. My theory is, as Juddy would say, that we'll never hear a word about it. She'll come back now, won't sch, Mom?"

AVERAGE PRODUCTION RECORDS FOR

Some of the principal buyers have "sat
ON the lid" of both drilling and acidizatiOn
in Kelvin field, content that there is ade-
quate oil for now and fearful that new drill
ing would result in ver-prOductiOn.
Recently The Texas Co. started taking
larger quantities of Kelvin oil, on account Of
the military necessity Of supplying Canada
with from 1000 to $500 barrels of oil per
day. The Kelvin production moved up from
around 5000 barrels per day to $500 barrels
per day. Some were sanguine enough TO be-
ieve that Kelvin might make 1900 barrels,
if opened up. But the above figures indicate
that such was not the case.
without new drilling, no oil field will
stand up indefinitely. The development Of
new areas is essential There are plenty of
~wide open spaces" In Kelvin field where
drilling may develop good production A
notable example, recently, was the Hard
rOck-Wait well in the center Of the field
where "stripper' wells have been the rule,
yet this producer had a natural initial
without acidizatiOn) of 800 barrels per day.
Kelvin producers have been afraid Of the
cars and have been unwilling TO Lay out
the money necessary to drill welIs-except-
ing those with independent markets. 1t has
seemed like a short-sighted policy to allow
leases to run down and to fail to keep up
the sembIance of a drilling program, yet
every operator who has drilled in recent
years has felt that he was violating some
unwritten law when he drilled a new well,
even when the price of crude was favorable.
We are wondering whether the day Of
reckoning Is at hand as we see the field
drop down 10 the level of the days when
The Texas Co. was buying on a basis OF
50 percent Of potential with a supposed
increase up to 80 percent Of potential
Purchases are based on recommended
production per lease, rather than on the
operators potential II is possible that the
purchases will be revised that an Oper-
ator win be called upon to produce given
amount of oil, TO be aIlOcated among his
leases as he sees fit, rather than the plan
Of telling each operator where he shall pro-
duce his allowable.
In the face of the Canadian situation, the
readjustment Of aIIOwables in Kelvin field
win not help very much. If we are correctly
informed, the continuance Of the war will
mean that Montana MUST continue to fur
nish Canada for its military needs. Turner
Valley is being Over-prOduced TO point
that only diIigent new drilling win keep 1t
from coIIapsing at a time when its pro-
duction win be needed most If Montana
could supply more OIL the pressure on Tur-
ner Valley could be prOfitably relieved
