westward, again into areas that
MIGHT have been supplied by Mon
tana crude.
From the south, from Elk Basin,
Frannie and other fields in the Big
Horn Basin in Wyoming, crude oil
shipments into Montana are increas-
ing, and recently exceeded million
barrels month.
Ironically, the crude from Wyo-
ming is coming from fields in which
there is no 80-acre spacing. Spacing
the Big Horn Basin fields ranges
from one to four wells to each forty
acres.
Independents at the hearing Mon
day felt they had presented suf-
ficiently strong case to prevent i'm
position of the 80-acre spacing rule
in new fields, without consideration
being given to individual field condi-
tions.
They were not so sure, however,
that their next fight will not be to
prevent what is known sweetly in
some circles as the "correlative
rights" program. In other circles,
this is known as compulsory until
zation."
Nor were they sure that as oil
imports from Montana continue to
grow, there will not be move for
market allowables"-a move to
restrict Montana production to
make way for more imports.

Proposed 8O-Acre Spacing
A Move by Majors" to Freeze Oil
DEVELOPMENT in Montana

spacing rule, in shallow fields, es-
pecially those of the Sweetgrass Arch,
would be unjust in that it would pre-
vent the landowner from getting full
development, and unjust in that it
would prevent the Independent OPP
orator from drilling sufficient wells
to make profit on small leases.
The grapevine rumor that went
around the hearing room-that the
8O-acre spacing rule was only a stop
gap expedient, and that anyone who
discovered a new shallow field could
petition for hearing to obtain lesser
spacing-left most Independents cold.
In spite of the soothing words,
most felt that once the rule was es-
tablished, anyone who found new
shallow field would have a tough
job in proving he was not committing
waste, merely by producing oil.
Opinions varied, but most seemed
agreed the general rule now in eff
feet, allowing four wells to each
forty acres, should be allowed to
stand.

MAJORS WORRIED OVER
EXPIRATION OF LEASES

What seemed to be worrying the
majors was the prospect of having to
drill an excessive amount of deep
wells, to hold their Williston Basin
acreage, on which time has now be-
gun to run rapidly. MANY 10-year
leases are now halfway to their ex-
piration dates).
While Independent operators at
the meeting were frankly skeptical
of the engineering magic that says
a five-inch hole in the ground will
drain the oil in variable lime for
nation, from tract of ground half
a mile long and quarter of mile
wide, most, off the record, agreed
that operators in areas of 9,000-foot
drilling might be entitled to lenient
spacing regulations at this time, to
enable them to regain some of their
expenditures before being required
to drill a close-spaced pattern.
They were bitterly opposed, how
ever, and made it plain in testi-
mony, to the proposal that the
commission put the cart before the
horse, and under the guise of pre-
venting waste, put upon small
operators and landowners the bur-
den of proof that they were not
committing waste" in proposing
to drill more than one well per 30
acres, in newly discovered fields.
They felt the proposed 80-acre

other desirable uses any acreage

crops"
To stimulate conservation, the
Agricultural Conservation Program
will share with eligible farmers the
cost of approved conservation prac-
tees on diverted acres as well as on
any other farm land. In 1856 this
includes sharing the cost of seeding
permanent vegetative cover to in
crease the acreage of sod crops, seed
ings to keep the land under temporary
protective cover during the current
year, and stubble mulching on land
needing temporary protection from
wind and water erosion.
Other approved practices include
moving earth for terracing and
erosion-control dams. For farmers
who wish to take some land out of
cultivation permanent cost-sharing
also is offered for planting trees
for forests or windbreaks.
Cost sharing, the undersecretary
explains, usually is about half the
cost of carrying out a given conser-
walton practice"
The chairman of the County ASC
committee announced that operators
to carry out conservation
practices under the 1866 Agricultural
Conservation Program should contact
their county ASC office. A list of
practices on which federal cost-shar-
ing can be secured was mailed re-
Gently to all farm and ranch opera
tors. In order to be eligible for cost
sharing, operators must file a re-
quest for approval with the county
office prior to the time the conser-
7ation practice is started. To be elig-
bic for cost-sharing the practice
must be completed according to def
lite specifications, copies of which
ire available in the county office.
Requests for approval may be filed
It any time during the year, but must
,e filed prior to the time work is be-
,un on a conservation measure.

LEGISLATURE made 2
IMPORTANT CHANGES
In INCOME TAX LAW

The State Legislature just closed,
made two important changes in the
state income tax law, so states L. G..
Burns, supervisor of the Income Tax
| Department for the State Board of
Equalization.
I. They adopted withholding
tax law which is patterned after
the federal Withholding tax law.
z. They adopted law requiring
business men and those who are
self-employed to estimate their
annual profits and file semiannuaI
reports or declarations, and pay
the tax on such estimates.
Neither of these laws become eff
fective until July /, 1865. The Legis-
lature enacted no laws which will
affect the tax due for 1854 and prior
years. The returns for 1854 are now
due and should be filed promptly.
Blank forms and instructions cover
MIG the new laws are now in process
of preparation. They will be ready
for distribution in about go days.
The board does not have COM
plete list of employers who are re-
CURED to withhold tax from en-
ployes. Neither do they have a list
of self-employed taxpayers who are
required to file declaration of esti-
mates and pay their tax semiannually
1t is the duty of every employer
and every self-employed taxpayer
to file request for blanks with
the board.
Failure to receive such blanks
will excuse no one from the penal
ties imposed because of such fail
ure.
The board states that it is import
ant that each withholding agent and
each self-employed taxpayer file his
.equisition early. Such requests must
show whether he wants forms for a
agent or for self-em-
,loyed taxpayer.
After a mailing list has once been
it will be possible for the
,oard to mail forms to all those who
re on the list.
The board, however, can assume
% responsibility for blanks which
re not delivered by the Postal De-
artment.

INDEPENDENTS RECALL
WARTIME EXPERIENCE

An interesting background to the
situation is that many of the indie
pendents at the hearing, seeking to
develop their leases during wartime
conditions, were forced to sit idly
by, while trainloads of casing slid
by into Canada, with official blessing.
Today, these same operators in
the Kevin-Sunburst, Pondera and
Cut Bank fields have lived to see
some Of the fruits of that strange
action.
Canada, once market for Mon
tana oil, is now self-sufficient-
and more.

refineries in British Columbia and
