MEETING WITH SUCCESS.
senator MayfieW's Oil Company
Drilling Wells in Arizona.
Senator S. G. Mayfield and Thomas
UcCauley came in from the oil well
>f the Hopi Oil company, south o!
dolbrook, Monday. They report evhing
as running nicely and that
Irilling is being pushed as fast as
possible on the property. The ex;remely
cold weather that has interfered
with them for the past month
s now a thing of the past, which is
i source of considerable satisfaction,
rhe snow of the past few days has
leen welcomed and its falling has
lot stopped operations for a minute,
t has been a wet, heavy snow, confining
lots of moisture, and this is
apidly melting ana runiimg mm cue
:ompany's large reservoirs, affording
i plentiful supply of water, some.hing
that ha9 been greatly needed
n the boring operations.
The gentlemen say that it is the
)lan now of the company to keep
iontinually at the work of drilling
o the oil, and with the good weathiT
that is to follow there is little
loubt but that the determination of
he. existence of oil in that area will
loon be demonstrated.
The geologist of the company says
hat the first oil sands will likely be
eached at a depth of from 500 to
S00 feet. Not a great deal of oil is
expected at this depth, but the fact
;hat it is encountered will be suffiJient
to instill renewed energy on
;he part of all those who are operating
in the district. It will not be
ong now before this depth is at;ained,
and considerable interest is
being felt throughout the district is
hp hnrp is hpinsr nushed down.
The Hopi company has nearly 10,)00
acres of landxscattered throughout
the district, a fine Standard drilling
rig in operation, and the opening
up of a producing oil well anywhere
an the district will be of great
importance to the company, as its
holdings will be tributary to most
my of the rigs that are drilling.
The fact that they anticipate encountering
the first oil sands at I
from 500 to 800 feet is based by the!
geologist upon the formation and
the operations in the San Juan
Seld in Utah, north of here. The
Holbrook oil belt is considered but
J
i continuation of the San Juan by j
the geologists of the country,^and i
in that section they have encountered
these sands at a lesser depth
than that stated.
Mr. McCauley says that the hard
formation that they have been drilling
through ever since starting the,
bore seemed to have softened up \
I
considerably last Saturday, though |
whether this is simply a soft, streak j
3r a permanent thing will have to!
\ t
be proven. On leaving the camp i
Monday, though the drills were j
dropping steadily, ' Mr. McCauleyneglected
to ascertain whether or not I
the soft formation is continuing. Ats
~ ^ O /Inol factor
ail v icllt?, ii it id) a uoui xu^v-vi
work may be expected than has been
posible at any time since the well
was begun.
Senator Mayfield has got strictly
into harness again since his return j
from South Carolina last week, j
where he went to try a big lawsuit!
in the courts of that State. He tried j
his best to get out of the job, but his |
client, an old-time friend of his, in-1
sisted so strenuously that the senator
felt it incumbent upon him to go,
and thus leave the well for a short
\.
time, which he was reluctant to do.
The senator's heart is in the drilling
of the well of his company and it is
with great reluctance on his part j
that he intends to let anything in-1
terfere with his presence on the:
spot. He can be found at any hour j
of the day, in overalls, as hard at j
work, as any man in his employ. It
is a fact that if anyone wants to see
Senator Mayfield from this time on
he will have to go out to the Hopii
well to transact his business.?Hoi- i

Following is the text of Mr. McDavid's
bill to make the giving of j
bad checks a felony, which has been I
favorably reported by the house com- j
mitte? on banking and insurance:
"Section 1. That any person who
shall obtain with fraudulent intent,
money or other property which may
be the subject of larceny, or who
shall obtain credit with like intent,
by means of a check or draft or order,
of which he is the maker or
drawer, which is not paid by the
drawee, shall be deemed guilty of
the larceny of such money or other
property, or anything of value obtained
on such credit, unless pavment
of such check, draft or order
be made on demand in writing mailed
to the drawer's last known addres:and
the fact that such maker or
drawer d*d not have on deposit to
his credit with the bank, person, firm
or rorporation upon which such check
draft or order is drawn, sufficient
fund- to pay same when presented,
unless such check or draft, is paid
or accepted when presented, shall be
pr'ma facie evidence of fraudulent
intent."
FARM PROSPERITY
IN GRAVE DANGER
Hastings Declares Greater Food Production
Essential To The Maintenance
Of Agricultural
Prosperity
Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?That there
Is a large element of danger for
Southern farm prosperity in the present
situation, is the firm belief of H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber of Commerce
and the Southeastern Fair Association.
Mr. Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of a year ago when he
said: "Unthinking people are apt to
attribute the present measure of farm
prosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to its real
cause.
"Just as soon as peace began to appear
probable last fall, there was a
distinct let-up in the planting of wheat,
oats and other small grains. One
Georgia cotton farmer said to me, 'If
we are going to have peace, we are
not going to plant any wheat in my
neighborhood.'
"Of course the high price of cotton
has helped, but if it had not been
for the increased supply of bread,
meat, vegetables, grain and forage
made on the farms, there would have
been little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton tvas and
is relatively lower in price than foodstuffs,
and will continue to be for
years to come.
"An extra two or three million
* *? ~ 1010 nnttnn Arnn will
D&ies m tue xj JLO wwcvu w
smash present attractive prices, while
the world-wide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization of food
production in Europe incident to the
war, means high food prices everywhere
for years to come.
"High food prices are a certainty
and, low cotton prices are an equal
certainty if the food and grain acres
of 1916, 1917 and 1918 are. thrown back
into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the
danger to our present farm prosper
ity. If we go back to our old beforethe-war
system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, we will
get another jolt like 1914 with reasonable
certainty.
"Present Southern farm prosperity
can be maintained in one way only.
Produce on home acres, so far as possible,
every pound of food, vegetables,
grain, hay and forage needed by family
and livestock, then put every other
available acre in cotton or other cash
crop. This method means cash crops
made with little or no debt?the crop
owned by the producer at the end ol
the season instead of 'owed' to the
supply merchant.
"Food and graiD production sufficient
for home needs, insures continued
farm prosperity. Dropping bacP
te the old way means debt like a millstone
around the farmer's neck."
"UNCLE SAM" AND
IKE HOME GARDE!!
Well Known Civic Leader Shows How
a Vegetable Garden Will Cut The
Family Store Bill In Half
Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?"Few people
realize the actual money-saving
power of the home vegetable garden
and what it can be made to contritr
nte in the way of food for the family
table," says President H. G. Hastings,
of the Georgia State Chamber
of Commerce, and the Southeastern
Fair, in discussing the matter of food
supply for the South in 1919.
"Uncle Sam, through the United
States Department of Agriculture,"
said Mr. Hastings, "estimated the
value of the vegetables produced last
year in home gardens of the United
States at three hundred and fifty million
of dollars. This means that much
actually saved by jhe garden makers
frorri their store bills.
. "Whenever there is lack of food 01
money to buy food, no matter whether
it be due to world-wide food scarcity,
boll weevil damage or other cause,
the first word 'Uncle Sam' passes out
to the sufferer is to make a good big
home garden. Why? Because the
rieht kind of a home garden is the
quickest, cheapest and best source oi
food supply there is.
"The great trouble here in the South
is that our people don't take the home
garden seriously enough, or give il
| the attention that its importance as a
food producer and money-saver justi
fies. It is mostly made with a 'licfc
! and a promise' and the cultivation and
j replanting it gets during thk growing
j season is mostly of the unfulfilled
| promise kind.
j "With the present and certain-to-be
' continued high food prices on the one
hand, and the very great uncertaintj
as to the price that cotton or othei
j cash crops will sell for next fall, it is
j a time above all others to play safe
j "This is no time to gamble on cot
, ton. None of us can tell within 1;
cents a pound what it will sell foi
next fall. The farmer who makes fev
or no store debts for food, producing
i his own and family needs on bom*
? t +
j. acres, is sate regaraiess ujl cuuui
prices, and he is the only one whc
! is safe.
I "The ri^ht kind of a home gardei
i maintained all through the season anc
given a square deal in the way of cul
tivation, is the greatest store-bill-cut
ter on record. A quarter to half ai
acre garden for the average farailj
will cut the store hill in half."
