FARMERS TO FEED
SOFT CORN; SELL
MARKETABLE CORN
Tradition of Long Standing
Reversed AS Corn Sets
Record Price
Farmers With Soft Corn Are
Forced Into Livestock
Feeding

A tradition of long standing will
be broken by Bluffton area farmers
this fall who are planning to sell
their marketable matured corn at
prices upwards of $2.35 a bushel
rather than following their custom
airy program of livestock feeding.
At the same time, another factor
is working toward forced" feeding
of cattle and hogs in cases of those
farmers caught with soft corn caused
by early frost, whose only hope to
realize return from the crop is
to market it in the form of livestock.
For many years corn has been
marketed in this area only in negli-
gible amounts, and livestock feeding
was so important in farm opera
tions that most farmers bought corn
rather than sell it.
Now, with corn at a record high
price at around $235 a bushel, and
breeding stock equally high, few
farmers with marketable matured
corn will hold it for feeding cattle

Butter Price In Meantime Drops
Eight Cents From Mark OF

Bread and milk prices joined the
soaring cost of living parade in

butter dropped off eight cents a

compensation for budget-harrassed
housewives.
In the newest developments of the

Bread increases, effective generally

NO OIL IS FOUND
IN TEST WELL ON
BOEHR farm HERE
Salt Water Struck at 1,400
Feet After Trace of Oil
is Encountered
Unconfirmed Reports Indicate
That Second Well May Be
Put Down

Prospects for reviving oil produc-
tior in the Bluffton area received a
setback this week when a test well
drilled on the John Boehr farm two
miles north of Bluffton failed to show
more than trace of oil.
Drilling operations which started
four weeks ago were halted last Sat
urday when salt water was encount-
cred at a depth of 1,4O0 feet. Three
days previously traces of oil were re-
ported but not sufficient in quantity
to warrant shooting the we'll.
Altho preparations are under way
for abandoning the well, there are
unconfrmed reports that another at
tempt may be made to put down a
well in a different location in the
1900 acre tract north of Bluffton
leased in the oil drilling project fl
nanced by Findlay and Toledo capi
tai.
Encounter Salt Water
Salt water, struck early Saturday,
has filled the well to depth of some
700 feet, it was reported Tuesday.
1t was pointed out by oil men that
salt water is found under the oil
bearing strata of sand-rock which
was borne out in this instance when
traces of oil were encountered last
Wednesday.
However with salt water in the
well, drilling has gone beyond the
point where there would be any inn
mediate possibility of finding oil and
the only prospect would be to drill to
a much greater depth.
Two wells at comparatively shall
low depth were drilled on the same
farm in the 1900 oil boom by DR.. j.
f. Rudy, Blufton physician. Altho
the wells were never pumped, traces
Of oil were found also at that time
and the belief has persisted among
oil men that the area has oil produc-
ing possibilities.
