Former Key Wester Has
Unique Water Theory

c. E. Van Deursen, former Gen.
eral manager of the City Electric
System has advanced the theory
that tapping a possible under.
ground supply IF fresh water in
the area may solve Key Vests
water problem and eliminate the
necessity of floating a $4,000, OOG
bond issue.
Van Deursen wrote The Citizen
from his home In Vidalia, Georgia,
saying that the possible expendi.
ture of such a large amount of wa.
ter certainly should warrant the
drilling of at least one test well
to determine If fresh water exists
under the island"
He cited q report given him
from the Layns.Atianfie Com.
Psny, Orlando. engineering firm.
| saying that although complete
tests have never been made, the
/ area from between 1000 and
5000 feet below the surface Of
the earth has never been expIor.
ed and may contain fresh water.
They pointed out that oil expIora.
fions made here were interested
only In finding oil, not salt or
fresh water and that all drills
were sealed until they reached
the 1000 foot level. Therefore,
much valuable information was
never made available. they said.
Van Deursen said that there is
supply of fresh water on the
mainland and he opined that the
seam" probably did not stop al
the seacoast but extended down to
the keys since they are located
geographically not too far from the
mainland.
ut is true that you cannot get
any company to guarantee that
there is fresh water under Key
West nor will any drilling COM
pany give much encouragement as
to its existence. When I was in.
terested in the project no one, even
the U. S. Geologic Survey Bureau
had any information as to the un-
foreground strata of potable water
in the keys" Van Deursen declar.
ed.
Another factor to consider Is
that fresh water were found to ex-
list, it might be sulphurous which
could be made potable by the aeri-
alton process" he continued.
He also pointed out a possible
new industry for Key West if salt
water were found - the refining
of salt from ocean water.
Van Devrsen went on 10 70.

Commission gamble The rs TO 100
thousand dollars IL would cost TO
conduct test drills and possibly

BE- saved from ths necessity Of
spending u million dollars.
The Layne-Atlantic Company
submitted proposal to the Latin
American Exporting and Engineer
ing Company here IN 1852, to drill
a 5000 foot well to determine whe-
Their or not water in sufficient qua
lily and quantity exists.
This operation would continue
through all water bearing strata
until a depth of 5000 feet was
reached. II all water were found
to be highly mineralized or unpo-
table, then it would definitely be
established that no fresh water
was obtainable and the project
promptly concluded" their propo-
sal stated.
Should certain water bearins
stratum prove to be fresh and
potable. then those strata would
be properly essed and developed
to yield their maximum flow OF
wafer 50 urgently needed in Key
West" they added.
They estimated the cost Of such
an operation at 1880 if the pro-
ject was completed in six months.
For another $45, 1000, they said they
would complete and develop a well
if fresh water were available.
Apparently no action was taken
on their proposals.
Van Deursen said that his letter
twas not meant to adversely af-
feet the 14-million dollar bond issue
as it is a very necessary expen-
diture - If fresh water is not dis
closed by the test WELL"

Lonely Vigil

ROMEO, Mich. W - Along the
side of a little-traveled dirt road
near here stands a lonely, starving
young dog.
Apparently someone took the
handsome collie to the country and
dumped him out of a car. Maybe
he was too big for the city, or
maybe be barked too much.
The dog has been there since
last Wednesday. He runs away and
hides when a stranger approaches.
But when a car passes, he runs
alongside trying to see if his mas
ter has returned for him. Then.
when the car keeps on going, he
sinks mournfully back to his
watch post.
There he stands still waiting
for his master-a lonely, starving
young dog.

for only short time ahead and
waiting for the next weak period
seems advisable.
HAY-Prices may continue strong
for another month or six weeks, then
begin to weaken about March unless
late winter weather is unusually
severe and prolonged. The average
farm price has advanced from De-
cember to February in IL of the last
ID seasons, but declines from Febru-
airy to March occurred in about half
of these years.
DAIRY PRoDUcTs-Prices for
fluid milk probably will work mod
erately lower in the next four or
i've months as production rises to
the late spring peak. Since butter
and cheese already are at or below
the support level, the decline in
prices for manufacturing milk is
likely to be small.
EGGS-Prices will work moder-
ately lower in the next month. or
two. Production in March is likely
to increase Is percent or more over
January. Lower prices will be re-
quired to stimulate greater con-
sumption and placement in storage.
Prices in the next few months now
seem likely to be higher than a
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-01-15

year previous. Recent demand for
eggs has been strong. Early pur-
chase of replacement chicks are
likely to be most profitable as high
er prices during the spring than in
1852 probably will stimulate in
creased buying of late chicks.
POULTRY-Prices probably will
be rather strong in the next month
or two. While supplies of CONNER
cial broilers will increase 10 to Is
percent in this period, marketing of
turkeys and farm chickens will de-
cline and the competing output of
heavy meats is likely to drop Is to
20 percent.
POTATOES-Prices probably will
hold up well in the next two or
three months, but gains over the
early January level seem likely to
be small. With a new income tax
year starting, growers may sell
little more freely in the near future
than late in 1852, but buyers stocks
probably are light. The price trend
in late winter will depend consider
ably on the size of Jan. stocks to
be reported later in the month. A
shortage seems quite unlikely, as
stocks probably exceed last years by
at least IL to IS percent.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-01-15
Markets at q Glance

Prices-Farm price level may stabilize or
rally moderately but will continue below 1852.
Cattle-Better slaughter grades may hold
near recent levels; other cattle probably will
be steady to higher.
Hogs-Further price rise is probable as re-
ceipts drop in next month or two.
Lambs-Moderate price rise Is probable In
next two or three months.
Wool-Prtces probably will be steady to
slightly higher.
Wheat-Heavy placement under support pro-
gram may cause moderate price rise late in
season.
Feed Grain-Big stocks and declining trend
in usage weigh on markets.
Flaxseed-Government asks growers to cut
production in 1858 by IL percent.
Seeds-Big seed crop and lower prices give
chance to increase alfalfa acreage.
observation-disclosures for only few weeks
ahead seems advisable.
Hay-Price strength Is probable for few
weeks longer with softness starting about
March.
Dairy Products-F1uid milk prices probably
will decline moderately during seasonal rise
in milk flow.
Eggs-Increase in production will push
prices down for another month two.
Poultry-Supply of commercial broilers will
increase, other kinds will fall off for another
month or two.
Potatoes-Price gains In rest of season sre
likely to be small.

OPTIMISTIC PROSPECTS for
the cities, times ''less good" on the
farms are keynotes of the new year
outlook. High or slightly rising de-
tense production, plans for business
spending for new plants and equip
ment only percent lower than in
1852, rising trend in construction
of schools, roads, hospitals and other
public works because of growth of
population and a continued high
rate of home building promise to
keep urban industry humming most
of the year. New peaks probably
will be set in industrial output, en-
ployment and consumer income.
These conditions will give farm
prices and income much support

but record movement of farm pro-
duce to market, lower exports and
absorption of an increased share of
the consumers dollar by marketing
agencies will hold farm earnings
below 1852. The December Is farm
price index was IL percent below a
year previous and Is percent below
the all-time peak. More than two
thirds of the rise since Korea has
been wiped out. The farm price
level may stabilize or rally slightly
in the next few months, but will av-
erage considerably lower than in
1852.
CATTLE-Prices for upper grades
may fluctuate around recent levels
in the next month or two but are
likely to be lower by late spring.
Medium and lower grades probably
will be mostly steady to higher for
several months. Supplies of long
fed cattle will be light during the
winter, but short-feds, which have
been plentiful recently, probably
will continue to run freely in the
next month or two.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
probably will rise moderately in the
next three months. Supplies will
be the largest at that season in sew
era1 years due to the increase in
cattle herds, possibly some further
selling because of drouth and offer
ings from Mexico, which were
banned last year. But the supply
increase probably is quite fully dis
counted by the drop of more than
a third in stocker and feeder prices
below the average level in the first
half of 1852.
HoGS-Prices probably will rise
