Illustrative of the Inconsistencies

left out in the cold. Hitherto. based
on the practical realities of the law
of supply and demand, the oil out

wells in the Cut Bank field has
commanded a posted field price OF

burst. of generally lower gravity,
has commanded posted field price
of S1.10 barrel. Now, with the sub
sidy in effect, producers in Cut
Bank will continue to receive their
posted field price of S1.30 a barrel
for oil of higher gravity than that
of Kevin-Sunburst, produced from
3,0O0-foot wells Their neighbors in
Kevin-Sunburst come Aug. /, will
receive Sl45 a barrel for oil of
lower gravity, from wells which
cost less TO drill and less TO pro-
duce, with depths averaging not
more than $50 feet.
The Cut Bank operators agree
that the Kevin-Sunburst price will
not be too high in view of the in
creased costs of operation In that
field, caused in large part by the
imposition of fantastic labor costs
by the administrators wage-hour
bureaucrats, but this week some OF
them pointed out they are victims
of the same condition.

l don't know anything more dis
couraging than to see lot of work go
up in smoke. Maybe you've watched
the results of spontaneous combus-
tionin your haymow, with loss ofhay
and barn. Purdue has a suggestion
of how to forestall such loss, simply
by taking the hays temperature.
Use a half inch pipe, with q
pointed plug in one end. Drill a
series of inch holes in the side
of the pipe, above the plug. Push
the pipe into the hay and lower
a thermometer into the pipe,
leaving it in long enough to
record actual temperature.
Purdue says at $50 degrees, the
hay is entering the danger zone. At
16Odegrees, inspect every four hours.
At us, stop all ventilation and call
fire department for standby service.
At 1875, remove hot hay and have a
fire department pumper ready to
quench flames which probably will
develop when air comes in contact
with the hay.
Hay is almost sure to ignite at
21O degrees. l suggest you write
the Extension Service at Lafayette,
Indiana, for Leaflet 229 which gives
a complete discussion of spontane-
