SHOWING OF CRUDE OIL
Fostil Journal Recites Interview
With Field Manager of
Clarno Oil Co.
Last week G. G, Kiessling, mana
ger of the Clarno Basin Oil com
pany, was interviewed bv the editor
of the Fossil Journal relative to the
showing of oil in the well being put
down by his company. T0 the news
paper man Mr. Kiessling raid:
The amount of oil cannot be de
termined until water in the well is
shut off. Steady bailing for a day
and a half revealed an unmistakable
content of oil in the water, the
farther they got the stronger the
showing until the water became a
golden yellow color when bailing
operations ceased.
"Do you think there are two bar
rels a day? Mr. Kiessling was aik.,
ed.
"Perhaps," he answered, "and
there may be more. We can't tell
until the water is out of the hole.
We are underreaming now preparing
to set a ten-inch casing to the bottom
of the well for the purpose of shut
ting off the water."
J. W. Lowrman, an eastern geolo
gist and chemist employed by the
company, wl was at the well a few
days ago advised that the water be
stopped.
Mr. Kiessling could not tell, he
said, how far he was from the oil
aands, it might be 200 feet or only
50 feet Something is forcing the
oil up, was his opinion.
"It looks like the gamble was all

to three billion dollars, which ia
twice the annual value of iron pro
duced and twenty times the annual
yield of gold, is one of the most
impressive statements about this
cereaL
The importance of corn is not
generally appreciated, for only a 1
minor part is eaten directly by the '
people. Over one half of all the j
corn grown is fed to livestock. '
However, the corn oil, syrup, and
starch are already manufactured on
Po large a scale that their produc
tion is likely to soon rival the meat
packing industry. An erea of about
one hundred million acres ia plant
ed to corn each year in the United
States, and during tho past decade
tho value of the corn crop has ex
ceeded the combined value of the
cotton and wheat Although the
large amount of corn is grown in
the corn belt of ;.he middle states,
corn is also grvn in every state of
the Union. The main five kinds of
corn consist of dent, flint, flour,
sweet and popcorn. The geographi
cal range for corn in determined by
temperature, rainfall and length of
growing season. It thrives best
where the days and nights are warm
and where there is moderate summer
rainfall.
Corn played an Important part
in the settlement of America by the
European races. The early settlers
of Virginia and New England found j
the Indians growing and eating it
However, the history of corn grow-
mg in American datc3 back t, the
time of Columbus, and its relics are
fund among the most ancient tribe
of Indians. The cultivation of corn
i supposed to be at lcaat twenty
thousand years old.
Corn is used aa a supply crop.
BerauHe of the low price compared
to the heavy weight doe not make
it a profitable article for export
Most of it is consumed in the cattle
belt.
NEWS NOTES
These cold mornings one may
find many students hovered around
the furnace in the basement and
around the radiatom upstairs. Mr.
Wcberg, keeps the rooms comforta
ble and warm and with the new fuel
house finds his duties lighter than
last year. The High school appre
ciates his vigilance in its behalf.
