Col. Bruitt states that the scdl mentaries in the regfion seem to be of proper origin and depth and with prolific organic matter to jurtify the j belief that commercial oil will be found In some of the lower sand stone layers. The structural condi tion of the ground is favorable for a gathering place and there ia a wide area from which oil could be collect ed, he declares. "You have sufficient hydro-stat ic pressure to act as a agent With these facts in evident it surely looks very favorable and I hope you will have good success with your drilling operations until you will reach an oil sand," the, gcalog- ist writei. Col. Burritt is actively interested In the development of the John Day conl and oil lands, owning some stock in this latter concern. Both the Clarno and John Day projects are financed largely by local capital.

But Na Damage Doaa ; A few little boys bearing matches started a fire in an old tin bucket in Greene' canyon Tuesday after noon.

KEEP SUMMER FALLOW CLEAN By Doing so Weeds Will Not Have Chance to Seed Most persons do not realise what an enormous number or seeds are produced by weed . The number varies with different weeds, but most kinds produce from a hundred to several thousand seeds per plant. Weeds such as wild carrot, burdock, and sowthi tle may produce 20,000 or more seeds per plant. Not all weeds germinate at once, hut delay sprouting for some time, some of them for several years, This fact is rcsponrible for the old saying, "One year s seeding makes seven years weeding." The only sure way to prevent annual and biennial weeds, from increasing is to prevent them from going to seed, WHEAT YEILD MUCH LESS THAN PRODUCED LAST YEAR Official Estimate Place Decline at 70,000,000 BashcU In porta Little UncaHaia A hte bulletin from the Stat Agricultural college says regarding the wheat crop situation for 1928: The new official estimate indi cates a total United States wheat crop about 70.00'j.o00 bushel lew then last year. 3o,a traders are In cliiied to argue that tha cron will b smrJler.
