GAS OUTPUT IS
GIVEN BIG BOOST
WEIGH Well Deepened and Hits
Over Seven MilliOn-Other
New Ones Producing

The daily output of natural gas
took a substantial boost in the Mt.
Lake Park area this week,
Chief interest centered on the N.
X. Welch well. This well, which had
been pumping 21O,952,0 cubic feet
of natural gas into the lines during
July, August and September, had de-
creased in recent weeks and a deeper
drilling of this well brought in over
7 million cubic feet daily this week.
One estimate was 9,922,0OO.
Other wells, however, caused adj
ditional excitement among the drill
ers and landowners. The Simmons
well No 2, was announced last week
at about 100000. The H. NJ. Weeks
well is now about 100000. The Cor
don No. 2, near Crystal Springs, was
showing about 100000 at depth of
1899, and the John Shaw No. , was
showing about 100000.
OF lesser amounts but still show
ing promise were the Louis Moon well,
north of the Park, 10000; Artie
Dodge at Red House, 10000, Calhoun
we'll near Cozy Row, 100000; Eli
Beachy, Gortner road, 10000; Runner
well, in Park, 5000.
This additional supply will have
tendency to move the daily flow into
the lines back to around thirteen mil
lion or more a day where it was
several months ago. Gas officials had
declared that the daily flow had de-
creased in recent weeks to around ten
million cubic feet.
Most of the nineteen producing
wells listed in the report about three
weeks ago were holding up. Daily
output ran anywhere from $4,000 to
u million.
Progress of other wells in the area
were listed by gas officials approx
mately as follows:
Noah Lichty, depth 1926, dry hole;
Glantzer, Deep Creek, 5121, no gas;
Lashorn, Deer Park, 5195 in sand,
hole being plugged; Melvin Calhoun,
1910 depth; John Holtschneider, Deer
Park, $500 feet; C. N. Murphy, east
of route Al, $500 feet; Pleasant VAL
ley church, 1900 feet; Eli Beachy No.
,, 5000 feet; Nellie Lee, in Park,
2,700; George Perrine, L o h Lynn,
5000; George Beckman, Swanton,
1890; c. c. Mason, Mt Lake Park,
$500, in lime; Truman Ashby at Ash
by motor, Bats feet; I.O.O.F. lodge
hall, Loeb Lynn, 3712 feet; B. and O.,
1000 feet; Joe Calls, 600 feet; Carl
Richards, 1876 feet; Killius, Loeb
Lynn, 1900 feet; U. B. church, 600
feet; Eli Beachy No. 3, rigging up;
Mckee No. ,, 1900 feet; Wade Boil
yard, 1925 feet; Shaw No. l, 23O0

BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Jan. 6.-The unusual
weather this last fall is merely an
introduction to about so years OF
colder climate to come.
How much colder? Enough sc
that. farmers should bS told right
away that growing seasons will
be shorter during the next 25
years.
Enough so that the public should
be told it is being misled by stories
that world climate is getting
warmer.
These are conclusions of DR.
Raymond H. Wheeler. student OF
weather cycles, and chief of staff
of the climatic research division
of the Weather Science Founda-
ton. Crystal Lake. Ill. and psy-
chologist of the Babson Institute
Of Business Administration, Bah
son Park, Mass.
The present weather changes fit
war predictions based on weather
which DR.. Wheeler, then a psy-
chology professor at Kansas Uni
versity. made seven years ago.
He had then charted 1900 bat
ties in world history, to find that
world wars take place in warm
periods. And he pointed out that
both World Wars I and II came in
a warm period.
In cold periods, like the one
