OREGON MAY BECOME
BIG OIL PRODUCER
Oregon may become one of the big
oil producing states of the country.
Indications that a vast reservoir of
ell exists lu the tertiary basin of
Eastern Oregon have been found in
several localities and surveys and
test wells are being started. . De
velopments are expected within the
next five or six months and will show
definitely whether there is' a suffi
cient oil or gas supply to war
rant extensive exploitation.
Because of the oil indications dis
covered recently, the United States
geological survey has ordered a
thoro survey of the tertiary basin In
Eastern and Central Oregon ln con
nection with the Oregon bureau of
mines. J. P. Bawalda, geologist Of
the United States geological survey,
Is In Portland for a conference with
ll. M.. Parks, director of the Oregon
nureau, preparatory to starting tne
survey, according to information re
ceived by the Oregon State Chamber
of Commerce from United States
Senator McNary.
Dr. Buwalda, who has given special
attention for several years to the
tertiary formations and their anti
graphy In the Pacific Coast region,
will give special attention to the
depth and character of the forma
tions of the tertiary basins with ref
erence to their capacities for the
generation and retention of oil and
gas deposits. In the course of his
work, he probably will examine all
reported indications of oil and gas
as well as tho location of teBt wells
which have been driven In this re
gion. In addition to the survey In East
cm and Central Oregon, the Oregon
bureau of mines is making an in
vestigation of the oil prospects west
of the Cascades. It is said there are
more Indications of oil reservoirs In
the Willamette valley and along the
coast than In the eastern section of
the state. Several wells already are
producing gas and many additional
jrospect wells, are being driven.
Most developments are In the vicinity
of Waldport on the coast, and In
(Yamhill and Polk counties.
Secretary Quayle of the Oregon
tiate unambor or Commerce, hat
nent inquiries to each county of the
jrtaie for a report on oil indications,
and will compile these reports for
central information for prospectors

Arizona women are hustlers, if
those who attend the clothing

cal examples. These clothing schools
are conducted by the home demon
stration agents under the direction
of the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State college,
The women who attend them are ""' recenuy '

The waiting room at the railway sta- Talk, we given on the life history

walla and floors needed a thoro"rat,on we ne,u ln "aung uees,
scrubbing and they were given It by
the committee in charge. . Thrtee ma
chines and two work tables were in
stalled and 22 women came for In
struction the first afternoon. The
amount of work accomplished dur
ing thte entire week by those In at
tendance was a surprise to the home
demonstration agent and the com
mittee in charge. One woman, in
the three days she attended, made a
voile dress, a gingham dress, a skirt
(from old material), a hat, and
baby cap. While doing this, she
also minded the baby she had
brought with her. When the young
sOr grew restless, she ran her sew-
lng machine with one foot and rolled
the baby carriage back and forth
with the other. All during her work,
the sang a Dutch lullaby to the baby.
Milk Popular for Lunrhe.
Drink more milk a healthful
food as well as drink is the slogan
ladvjocate in an educational cam
paign now being conducted by the
Dairy Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture ' Lec
tures, demonstrations, charts, and
moving pictures are being used to
teach the food' value of milk and the
work Is carried to all classes and na
tionalities of people in all parts of
the country, Rlecently in Bridge
port, Conn., two milk specialists In
one day spoke before five meetings;
two audiences were colored, one was
Lithuanian, onia Slavonic, and one
Greek and American mixed 1,600
people in all.
1 In a certain town in Illinois a fac
tory employing 1,400 men has re
cently Introduced the plan of pernllt
ting milk vendors to go thru the
plant at 10 and 3 o'clock each day
with sweet milk and buttermilk. The
most of the men buy a pint each
time. The foreman stated that slncq
the drinking of milk has become to
popular with the. men not only Is
their efficiency Improved, but they
are more contented and even tern
pored. Specialists are giving lectures in
many large, department stores, and
explain that a gloss of cool milk is
not only refreshing on a hot day but
'also furnishes a definite amount of
nourishment.
(In New Haven, Conn., the manager
of one department store had poster.)
made entitled "Why we should
drink milk," and sold six milk tick
ets for 25 cents to the employes, no
attempt being made to show a profit
on the sales. Half-pint bottles of
milk 'were distributed to the clerks
1n the middle of forenoon and after
noon. Straws were furnished with
each bottle of milk, as the manager
believes that too often people drink
milk too fast, causing bodily dis
comfort.
Reclamation Farmers Sell Wool To
gether. '
Farmers on the Belle Fourche,
Minidoka and Shoshone reclamation
projects are engaging ln the coopera
tive marketing of wool in their re
spective localitie under the direc
tion of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.' The plan of
concentrating the graded! wool at
central points,: where it is readily
accessible to the buyers, assures bet
ter prices and larger net profits to
thief producers. Flocjk owners are
paying from 17 to 29 .cents a head
for machine shearing, an average of
about 21 cents being common. A
few years ago the cost of machine
shearing was only about 10 cents a
head, , This increase of over 200
per cent is notable as another rea
son why woolen clot hies cost so much.
Beekeeping for Soldiers.
Because . successful beekeeping
requires more work, study, and at
tention than many people arte willing
to give it. bee (specialists ofj the
United States Department of Agri
culture are devoting their efforts to
developlng better beekeepers of those
now in the' work rather than make
more beekeepers. Thera Is onie out

Little Skim Milk Thrown Away.
Apparently very little skim milk
was thrown away by milk dealers
last year. The United States De
paritnjenib of Agricijflture; recently
sent questionnaires to dealers in
BOijfcon, Philadelphia, Detroit, and
Pittsburgh, cities selected as' typical
Only one dealer reported throwing
away any considerable quantity of
skim milk. Others report manufac
turing their Burplus into various pro.
ducts, Including cheese, milk pow
der, condensed milk, buttermilk and
casein. In Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, the largest surplus came
in May and June. The season of
large surplus came earlier in De
trolt, . beginning In February and
running thru April In the case of
some Individual dealers who do a
considerable manufacturing business
the surplus appears to have been
large thruout the year. The De
partmlent of Agriculture reiterates
the importance of utilizing all skim
milk to the best advantage and point n
'out that the most economical way of
handling it can not be determined
as a general proposition, but must
be worked out by each dealer for
himself.
FEDERAL ROAD BILL
HAS NEW FEATURES
States where road work has been
retarded in the past because of a
Qargte percenjtage of lajrea hjold as
public domain, and those which have
already developed their main trunk
line highways, will alike be com
pensated by the government under
the terms of the Townsend bill, re
cently reintroduced before congress
by Charles E. Townsend, United
States senator from Michigan.
Senator Townsend first introduced
his measure before the last session
of congress. Since that time con
atructive criticisms received from all
parts of the country have been em
bodied In the bill by the senator
with the result that aside from the
fundamental principles of a national
highway system, a federal highway
commission and a study of the prin
clples of transportation and adequate
appropriations, the two measures
have little in common.
' In addition to 'provisions already
mentioned the new measure embod
les these points.
- States thle area of which contains
public domain are entitled to more
mileage of roads than the wealthier
states.
States which have already done
'much work on main trunk Unle sys
tems will ' be recompensed by con
struction of an equivalent mileage of
lateral roads. In such cases as theso
the government will not assume title
to these roads, but will turn them
over to the state when completed,
taking over Instead the main. trunk
lines and providing for their future
maintenance' as ln all main-trunk
