Oil Prospects Near
Bastrop Look Favorable
The B. W. Owens test well No. 1
tain* drilled on the Ed Jones tract
"J |Hn,j about ten milea west of Bas-
trop js looking more favorable for a
Ml, ,.,.r ut this time than ever. The
well h « been on a standstill for the
nasi few weeks as they were fishing
for isuing, but with the arrival of a
ar of heavy casing, which will be
won, and with the present prospects
it look, lik*' Bastrop is to have an
„il well within a short time
Thf liypay No. 1, being put down
on the old Pritchett tract east of town
bv th< Oypsy Production Co., is re-
ported o be progressing very rapidly.
Several showings of gas has been re-
ported at this well, and the formation
according to the geologists, looks
fine.
The lest being drilled about one
mile south of town on the McCall
tran is also reported to be progress-
ing rapidly. It is understood that
this well will be a deep test owing to
the formation, and the outlook is very
favorable for a well on this tract.
Much optimism is being held for oil
in Bastrop county, and every day one
c n see new oil men and geologists
on the streets. It is hoped that with-
in the next few weeks, Bastrop will
be within the center of one of the
bifffesi fields in Texas.

Unusual Temperature
During Week of August 10
WASHINGTON, August 7—Storm
wave expected to cross continent in
central transcontinental storm path
during week centering on August 10
will be of severe intensity, causing
greater than usual August tempera-
ture extremes and above normal pre-
cipitation. Temperatures of this per-
iod will change from cool wave pre-
ceding storm center to heat wave
during and following storm center.
Heaviest precipitation during this
storm period, relative to local nor-
mals, will be expected on north Paci-
fic slope, Great I,akes region and
southeast or section No. 6 of cotton
belt; in these areas of greatest pre-
cipitation, excepting Pacific slope,
conditions will be favorable to insect
breeding during this period; after
this storm period there will be little
danger from such pests. A storm
wave of moderate force will croM
continent during week centering on
16, of little importance excepting
prolonged period of moderate heat
that will accompany storm center.
Dates in these bulletins, when not
otherwise specified, are dates when
weather features will be expected to
reach 90th meridian; such features
would be expected to effect Pacific
slope three days earlier than dates
given. The average storm wave or
other weather feature crosses conti-
nent in about seven days. All in-
quiries should be addressed to FOS-
TER, Box 1930, Washington, I). C.,
a::d return postage enclosed.
August means to the agriculturist,
among other things, a decision as to
Winter grains. These bulletins can
only advise in a general way on such
points, as each locality is almost an
area unto itself. Winter grains for
1929 season will not average as pro-
fitable yields as they have during
the present season; best yields will
be expected on southern and western
slopes and land approaching those
slopes; northern and eastern slopes,
while they will mostly enter Winter
with ample subsoil moisture, will not
be expected to hold sufficient cover-
ing during severe cold waves that
are expected to alternate with open
warm waves.
According to recent press articles,
government meteorologists will study
arctic storm waves and conditions,
expecting to use them in ar. effort
to improve their weafher forecasts.
Telegraphic reports of weather con-
ditions in the arctic would often be
of some value; more often serve to
interest the public and make it for-
get that real progress in past fifty
years had been remarkably small.
The real force of North American
transcontinental storms, which com-
prise the greater part of storms of
this continent, does not come with
nor thru arctic storms, in the ma-
jority of cases. It would take some
remarkable guessing to approximate
the effect an arctic storm or cold
wave would have further south, hut
many years can be spent accumulat-
ing data that may be useful to future
generations who may know what to
do with them.
MORE HE-MODEL-
Remodeling continues to move tor-
ward in Bastrop, all of which point*
to the road of prosperity and shows
to the outside world that our town is
not standing atill. The S. L. Br.in-
non Drug Co., have ust completed re-
painting theii drug stoiv, inside and
out, which makes a pl. isi. g and in-
viling appca.'.u'ie to th. citi/.ens of
Bastrop and atso the tou>°i*t coming
through our city. The Steymann
lHtuuraniant is also making some
very attractive improvnients in tak-
ing the "old style" bay windows out
of the front of their establishment,
replacing them with a plate glass
front, and also installing the latest
counters.
We believe in progress, and every
day finds the carpenter*, the plum-
bers and other workmen on the job
doing their full part in making Bas-
trop a bigger and better city iri which
to live and trade. Keep your eye on
the best town in central Texas, and
watch how fast is is going to walk
away from the other towns In oar

brought, to Bustrop lust week by W.
F. Tribble, local farmer and was gin-
ned by the Goodman Gin Company,

bought by the above gin for 21 l-2c
per pound, bringing the producer
$149.76. The amount paid was above
the market price, due to it being the
second bale.

The gins are planning on a
big season this year, and both have
been overhauled and are now ready
to handle your cotton with dispatch.
