Babson Stresses Importance
of Soil in Purchasing Land

This third factor OF ahe mineral

seldom discussed. The Depart.

reporting on it because IL is hot

Babson Park, Mass, Feb. -
Without doubt land is one of the
best hedges against initiation.
Hence, it is reasonable that land
boom is now starting in the Mid
die West To such readers as are
no tempted to buy agricultural
land. wish to say word in my
column this week. Land varies so
much in productive qualities that
it is foolish to talk about any price
as fair for land. The price
should depend upon what kind of
men it produces.
Insist on Highly Productive Land
To begin with there is the ques-
ton of crop productivity. Some
land in Nebraska, Kansas or Iowa
is much cheaper at 5000 per acre
than other land in the Dakotas at
500 or even at 5000 per acre. The
quantity of corn, wheat or whatnot
that any acre of land will raise on
a teu-year average is the first step
in determining a just price Hence,
before buying or selling land get
the figures on what II has pro-
duced in the past. BY all means
avoid buying unproven raw land.
The second question to consider
Is what the lands location and
climate are best suited to produce.
For instance. have four tracts
OF land in mind in Florida which
all look the same to novice. Yet
for one tract, suitable only for
pasture. SIS per acre Is fair
price: for another, suitable only
for citrus, $40 per acre IS a fair
price: for another tract on the East
Coast. suitable f. beans. 5000 per
acre, is fair price. while the
best bargain OF all is tract in
Sanford, Fla, at a price OF $1,000
per acre, which is ideal for celery.
Yet land may be highly productive
and profitable commercially while
the stuff which it raises may have
very little nourishment Hence, it
will not raise strong families
Have Soil Analysed for Minerals
For those readers who want not
a commercial farm but a small sus.
tenance farm for raising and feed
in a good family Of children. there
is a third series OF questions to CON
slider. The farm should be within
walking distance OF schools,
churches and stores or else on =
bus line; it should have drained
fertile land and it should have
good neighbors. In addition, the
land should contain the right min

extension and expansion Of our oil
finding effort.
The process of leasing, testing
and then either surrendering the
lease or developing II, dependent
on whether or not oil Is found, Is
an ever-changing picture. It bears
close resemblance, In fact, to the
window shopping" or sampling
technique so highly developed by
Americas housewives before de
Gliding on final purchase of an ar
ticle.
AS a case in point, the Carter Oil
Co., Jerseys mid-cOntinent operat-
ing unit, estimated, after a recent
study of the problem of lease terms
and obligations 20 test, that the av-
erage lease taken out by Carter was
either tested or surrendered as I'M
attractive In less than four years.
Taking all the acreage held by
Jerseys subsidiaries and affiliates,
the record shows that over the five
year period 1938-1942, when pros
poets of declining discovery rate
tended to accelerate the acquisition
of acreage by all operators, Jersey
interest acreage was turned over
to the extent of nearly 10 percent;
/. e., total surrenderings were 10
percent of total purchase of leases.
Undoubtedly, the same general pic
ture applies to the many other op-
orators in the industry
Perhaps no other phase of the
oil industry's business so clearly
points up the truth of the old say
ing that 'Oil is where you find IL"
The fundamental fact that oil is
never known definitely to exist
any place until it Is tapped by the
drill has always made 1t necessary
for the industry, in conducting its
exploration, to lease widely, to en-
deavor to select for testing what
is thought to be the best bet, and
then to surrender the remainder.
This surrendering process by one
operator is almost invariably fol-
lowed up by the taking out of a
new lease by another operator and
there have been instances beyond
count in which prolific oil produc-
ton has been discovered on land
once held and discarded by another
1t is, in fact, to this element OF
uncertainty that some of the wild

history have been due. These have
come about around new oil dis
covery simply because few oper-
ators aside from the wildcatter who
drilled the test had thought II
worthwhile 10 acquire acreage In
the area. The strike" Immediately
made neighborhood acreage hot
and scramble of course ensued.
Perhaps one of the most striking
examples of this feature can be
found I'm the early history Of the
great East Texas field, the largest
single producing reservoir in the
world. The land over this great
pool, the discovery Of which Incl
dentally Is a tribute 20 the small
wildcatter, was practically wide
open when Dad" Joiner, an enter
prising bunch player, drilled test
well on a small plot of ground He
found oil on what later turned out
to be the extreme eastern edge of
the field. Had he selected his loca-
ton just a few hundred feet fur
Their to the east he would have
missed this enormous strike com
pletely.
Thus uneasy lies the head of the
oil mani
