REITERATES FAITH IN
CLARNO OIL FIELD
Eminent Geologist Writes Company
Secretary Retarding Chances
for 'Oil and Gas
A. G. Burritt, who had made sev
eral examinations of the John Day
country and who is' known as the
world's most capable and truthful
geologist; lately wrote H. N. Putman
secretary of the Clarno Basin Oil
company regarding the showing of
the territory where the oil company
is now sinking a well. Mr. Burritt
reiterates his prognostications of
the existence of oil there, as is
shown by the following communica
tion: Clarno Basin Oil Co., '
Hotel Dalles Bldg.,
The Dalles, Oregon.
Mr. H. N. Putman:
Dear Sir:
Your favor of June- 19 received.
With reference to the map that 1
talked to you about When I re
turned from The Dalies, I mailed
you two copies. They must have
been lost in transit. I regret you
did not receive them, but I am en
closing another in this letter.
. I am deeply interested in your
operations in the Clarno Basin, and
was much pleased to learn how you
were getting along. I wish you
would let me know any time you
have any gas or oil showings, so I
can note the horizon.
The sedimcntaries in that region
seen to be of proper origin and
depth, and with prolific - organic
matter to justify the belief that
commercial oil will be found in some
of the lower sandstone members.
Your structural condition Is favor
able for a gathering place, and there
is a wide area from which oils could
be gathered. You have sufficient
hydro-static pressure to act as the
gathering agent With these facts
in evidence, it surely looks very fa
vorable and I hope you will have
good success with your drilling op
erations until you will reach an oil
sand.
It seems to me that the people of
your district should be interested in
developing oil in that region, as it
would mean very much to the whole
region if oil is discovered there.
They certainly fhould feel it their
civic duty to support such develop
ment work.
I expect to be at The Dalle in the
near future, and hope to have the
pleasure of meeting you again.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) A. G. BURRITT

remainder of the chunks, obtaining
about 35 ricks, sufficient for a

home and city residence.
KILL WEEDS ON THE RANCH
Fall
Cultivation Has Tendency to
Eradicate Pests
Time of seeding fall wheat may
often be a factor in controlling
weeds. Wheat which is reeded
early in the fall is often badly in
fested with annual weeds in some
parts of Oregon. Weed infesta
tions can be materially reduced by
cultivation of the seedbed in fall
and delaying planting until many of
the weeds have opportunity to
germinate. In most seasons in west
ern Oregon, planting can safely be
delayed until October 15-20. In
date of planting trials with winter
wheat by the Oregon Experiment
Station at Corvallis, this date of
planting has given the highest yields
in comparison with earlier and later
seedings. Wheat ' planted before
October 1 is often more heavily in
fested with weeds, while that plant
ed much after October 20 generally
does not have an opportunity to be
come, well established.
