The state government’s finan-
cial interest in Lipscomb County
operations is measured by the
$203,000 a year which the opera-
tors and royalty owners provide
the state government in produc-
tion taxes. These payments are
in addition to those paid to local
units of government and schools
as property taxes. Oil and gas
property taxes are reflected in
local support of many Texas
school districts. For example,
44.2 per cent of the local taxes
for the Follett School District
comes from oil and gas opera-
tions.

Miami to follow in that order.
These Panthers are going all

A $4 million a year ingredient
in the prosperity of Lipscomb
County is the production of oil
and gas, the- Texas Mid-Contin-
ent Oil & Gas Association says
in its current survey of econ-
omic factors stemming from
petroleum operations here.
Using just-published U. S. Bur-
eau of Mines figures as a base,
the Association has projected
what oil and gas activities mean
in this county. In 1962 Lips-
comb County was producing
more than 1 million barrels of
crude oil and 6 billion cubic feet
of natural gas. The oil was
valued at $3.2 million; the nat-
ural gas at $777,000.
Lipscomb County ranks 127th
in the state as total value of oil
and gas production.
“Demand for Texas crude pick-
ed up enough last year to give
us an increase of about 3 per
cent over 1962 on a statewide
basis. This slightly improving
trend seems to be holding this
year as more autos are put on
the road and nationwide business
conditions accelerate,” said James
L. Sewell, president of the
Association. “It will be several
months, however, before we
know to what extent individual
counties are participating in the
current market.”
The dispersion of oil dollars
through Lipscomb County busi-
ness channels and the healthy
effect given property valu/> by
petroleum industry activity

lishem hyz -the Aneacisee-,
It "s estimated that royalty,
payments to Lipscomb County
landowners who are fortunate
enough to have producing wells
on their property create a
“crop” worth about $500,000 an-
nually. These and other farmers
and ranchers who have leased
acreage for exploration receive
additional rental and bonus pay-
ments, but sufficient current
data is not available for measur-
ing the amount.
Oil and gas operators invested
an estimated $10 million in Lips-
comb County last year in the
search for new fields and in the
development of zones where pro-
duction has been found. The Oil
and Gas Journal reports that 123
wells were drilled in the county
in 1963, resulting in 63 oil wells,
35 gas wells, and 25 dry holes.
Drilling operations included 6
wildcat wells in which operators
hunted oil in new territory or at
new depths. About $800,000 of
the drilling expenditures was lost
With the enactment of Public
Law 1021 by the 84th Congress,
farmers and ranchers in selected
counties throughout the Great
Plains States were assured of
continuous cost-share assistance
to aid them in the application of
soil and water conservation
measures on their individual
farms and ranches through the
Great Plains Conservation Prog-
ram.
The Great Plains program is
a long range program designed
to assist farmers and ranchers
in carrying out various con-
servation practices on their
farms and ranches. It is based
on the concept of needed crop-
ping and grazing systems and
land use changes plus soil and
water conservation practices in
proper combinations to solve
conservation problems on the en-
tire farm or ranch unit.
To participate in the program,
a farmer or rancher shall fur-
nish a plan of operations, which
includes needed cropping sys-
tems and land use changes along
with needed soil and water con-
servation practices in proper
combinations. The plan of
operations will include a . sche-
dule for carrying out these mea-
sures within a period of not less
than three years but not to ex-
ceed ten years.
Your local Soil Conservation
Service technicians will be happy
to answer any questions about
the Great Plains Conservation
Program and to provide assist-

“For the past several years,
there has been a growing trend
toward assembly line customizing
of trucks,” James E. Conlan,
Chevrolet’s assistant general
sales said in announcing the new
line. “The expanding and chang-
ing economy and the rising pres-
sure of costs has created a de-
mand for the most efficient pos-
sible truck tailored for specific
load requirements and operating
conditions.
“The number of different en-
gines, transmissions, wheelbases,
axles, springs and other com-
ponents has grown steadily, along
with the introduction of . whole
new chassis and body designs to
give the customer the best pos-
sible combination of perfor-
mance, load carrying ability, and
economy for his particular opera-
tion.
