—————— PPPOE SSOS ESOT S $ OIL SPUDS ? @ Short Iters of Interest from + Natrona County’s Oil Fields + Se Geologist of High Repute Joins Franco-Wyoming The latest acquisition to the list ef celebrated geologists who are cast- ing their lot in with Casper is Carol H, Wegemann, who has been persuad-. ed by the Franco-Wyoming Oi) com- pany to join their staff of experts. Mr. Wegemann is weil known in oil eitcles thruout Wyoming and the en- tire country, and the Franco-Wyom- ing is indeed fortunate in securing him to direct their interests and those of their subsidaries, It is well known that the Franco interests hold considerable acreage in the Salt Creek fields and have other interests in Oregon Basin, where large gas wells have been struck during the past two years. One ef the recent subsidiaries of the Franco interests is the Cactus Petro- leum company, which will soon be op- erating on the west side of Salt Creek where it holds a lease on 2,800 acres of prospective oil land leased from the Panama Oi] company. With Mr. Wegemann in charge of the eglogi- tment of the Franco Inter- ests, this company, during the next year or two should develop congider- able production. Hudson, Wyoming, on the Map W. R.

But when we hear some men say that corn has rained certain breeds of hogs, and oth- jer men call attention to the fact that their pork was produced without corn, we begin to wonder why corn ever came to be a 3,000,000,000-bushel crop, . than $1 a bushel.

It is the great American crop and needs no apology— even when the price is only half what it is now.
