DEEPER QUEST FOR OIL.
The shallow depths at which most
drillers, especially in this section of
the State, stop drilling in their quest
for oil can but make one believe that
if the drillers were more persistent
and would drill to still greater depths
their efforts would be crowncd with
decidedly better success.
America's first commercial oil well,
drilled near Titusville, Pa., in 1859,
was only 69 feet deep. Recently
there was reported an oil well in
California which had reached a depth
of 8,046 feet and was being drilled
still deeper.
The invention of methods where-
by oil is taken from a depth of more
than a mile and a half under ground,
with even deeper drilling in prospect,
is responsible for greatly increasing
the world's petroleum reserves
Many of the largest producing wells
today recover their oil from a depth
of 8,500 to 5,000 feet.
According to a writer in the Stan-
dard Oil Bulletin, there is no telling
how deep oil operators will in the
future be able to drill, and it is not
unreasonable to suppose that depths
of 10,000 to 15,000 feet may event-
ually be reached.
In many oil felds are found sev-
eral strata of oil sands, the lowest
generally proving the most produc
tive. But the cost of drilling per foot
rapidly increases with the depth, so
that one deep dry hole may cost the
operator a loss of $60,000 or more
One deep well drilled in Caifornia
is estmated to have cost $300,000
before it was abandoned without
ever yielding a barrel of oil. But this
involved more than ordinary bad luck
in losing tools and other accidents.
Deeper drilling has saved the dny
for the oil industry, us well as for
the motorist.
Just as we had recovered our breath
from the scare thrown into us by
the terrifying results of halitosis, an-
other scare head writer is now trying
to scare the life out of us about come-
dones. What? Don't you know what
a comedone is? It's nothing but a
common little old blackhead with
scientific name.
CHEAPER FERTILIZER.
Revolution of the entire fertilizer
industry may result from the new
synthetic process of taking nitrates
from the air, developed by the Ger-
man Nitrogen Syndicate, according to
Dr. Julius Bueb, president of the big
concern.
The most striking proof of this is
seen in the rectn shipment of 200
tons of nitrates from Germany to
Bolivia, right next door to Chile,
which has heretofore had an almost
complete monopoly of the world's
nitrate industry.
German plants operating under the
new synthetic process have already
developed a capacity of more than
400,000 tons annually, and there is a
strong likelihood that the product
will soon enter the United Stale*
markets, either through actual ship-
ment from Germany, or through the
production of fertilizer in this coun-
try by the new process.
In this recent development appears
to lie the realization of the farmer's
long expressed hope for cheaper
fertilizer.
SCHOOL FOR WIFEHOOD.
An unusual kind of college for
women is to be established at Bronx-
ville, N. Y., through the donation of
a large estate and 81,250,000 by
Wiliam Van Duyer Lawrence, who
is now 85 years of age.
The particular purpose of the col-
lege will be "to educate girls for
their real career, mariage." Miss
Marian Coates, principal of Bradford
Academy at Haverhill, Mass., will be
the first president of the new insti-
tution, the enrollment of which will
be limited' to 250 girls of American
parentage. Courses will cover two
years and will begin in' the fall of
1928.
Commenting on his plan, Mr. Law-
rence said: "I don't think women and
girls need a man's education, but that
is what most of them get. So much
time is devoted to sports that women
who leave college find themselves
unfitted for marriage, which is their
real career."
Inasmuch as girls who have the
courage to enter this school will
thereby signify their ambition to be
come good wives, - is doubted that
the supply of graduates will be equal
to the demand.
Senators have asked for an appro-
priation to ventilate and dehumidize

Perhaps a deodorizer would be more
effective.

(IT WORM CONTROL
Bulletin from College Station Conveys
Important Information for
Texas Farmers.
As spring aproaches the enterpris-
oyal citizen of Saint Jo just
naturally begins to think more and
ing an
more of paved streets, an up to the
minute waterwoorks and sewerage
system, a new hotel, a city hall for
general use on public occasions, that
new refrigerating plant, and a num-
ber of other good things that we
ought to have, and will have some
day. At least, we have the consola-
tion of knowing that ' the just shall
live by faith."
"Peaches" may be all right in her
place, but no one has ever yet discov-
ered a safe method of love-making for1
a rich man.
A little more home boosting on the
part of our citizens would be a dis-
tinctive mark of civic loyalty. Let us
all be boosters.

COLLEGE STATION, Tex., Feb. 18.
R. It. Iteppert, Entomologist Ex-
tension Service, A. & M. College, has
issued the following bulletin:
Letters reaching our office from
widely separated sections of the State,
indicate that the cut worm damage
will be quite serious. For several
weeks damage has been done to some
of the cabbage fields in Nueces coun-
ty, and this would seem to indicate
that there, and in other counties of
the coast country, these insects will
be a menace to the cotton crop as it
germinates.
Cutworms are among our easiest
insects to control, but since they of-
ten are present in vast numbers, es-
pecialy in fields of grass and weeds
during the winter, and since they
work quickly, often destroying a
stand of cotton over night, control
measures must be promptly underta-
ken.
Where cutworms are found to be
present in a field, the sprouting crop
can be protected by the aplieation of
poison bran mash. If this is delayed
until the damage has begun, its
prompt application may save the re-
mainder of the stand.
Where one stand has been ruined,
and the crop has been replanted, the
same material should be planted along
the planted rows just before the new
plantlets push thi-ough the ground.
The poison mash is made after
the folowing formula:
Pai'is Green or White Arsenic, 1 lb.
Coarse Wheat bran, 20 lbs.
Lemons finely ground in a meat
chopper (and juice included) 0 fruit.
Cane or sorghum molasses,2 quarts.
Water sufficient to make a moist
mash that will not be sloppy.
The poison and bran are .mixed
together thoroughly while dry. The
liquid materials including about two
gallons of water, are thoroughly mix-
ed and then added to the bran mixt-
ure and the whole mixed by hand
so that every particle of the bran is
moist.
Additions of water ate made until
a mash is obtained as wet as possible
and still so that it readily falls apart
Cutworms remain hidden during
the day and feed at night. They are
best attracted to the poison mash
when it is moist, consequently appli-
cation should be made in the late af-
ternoon. For the protection of cot-
ton and field crops drilled in rows,
it should be distributed in a thin line
along >the row, the cotton planter
often being utilized for this prupose.
A thin line mash can also be used
for garden crops in rows. If the gar-
den or field crops are planted in
hills, it will often be best to distrib-
ute the poison at the base of the
plants, about one-fourth tenspoonful
in each hill.
SHORT SERMON.
Communism will be an accomplish-
ed fact when all who violate laws are
in jail.
If we had to supoly the demands of
the autopmobilo trade without such
substances as fabrikoid, it would re-
luire the slaughter of every head of
cattle in the country to meet the de-
mand for tops and seat coverings, and
the price of shoes, incidentally, would
probably go out of .sight.

SERMON NO. 6.
Theme "Christian Education.'
Text: "Train up a child in the
way he should go, and when he is -old
he will not depart from it." Prov. 22:6.
I shall not now speak of the schools,
colleges and universities and of high-
er education, though I believe in all
these. But I wish to lay emphasis
upon the importance of laying the
proper foundation for Christian ed-
ucation—in the primary department—
the Christian home.
If a child rightly trained in the
lome "in the way he should go" will
irepare him to weather all the storms
hat may sweep down upon him in all
he years to come, then it s cei-tainly
i crime to fail to give that necessary
training as far as parents—the pri-
mary teachers— may be able to do
hat. It has been said that a young
man should not marry and undertake
;o provide for a family till he has
tome money ahead, and that looks
•easonable, but I venture to say that
it is vastly more important for a
young man to be truly religious, and
thereby divinely prepared to establish
a family altar and create a religious
atmosphere in his home, and, together
with his Christian wife, be able to
train their children in the way they
should go. And it is a very great and
precious promise that they will not
depart from it when they are old. If
nny should say that promise can't be
true, I would agree with him that
under such home training as most
children get it might not hold good.
But as a weak vessel, poorly built,
will be wrecked in a great storm while
a strong one, properly built, will
proudly ride the wave, in the same
3torm, and finally reach the port; so
children carelessly traned, or half
trained, may "make shipwreck of
the faith," but children properly train-
ed in the way they should go will not
depart from it when they are old. |
Mental philosophy teaches us that I
man is a dual being, having a mind
and a body, but I want to look at him
as a three-1'old being, having a physi- i
cal organism, a mentality and a moral
nature—all of which are susceptible
of education and development. A'
little child has a helpless little body I
that would soon perish if no one
cared for it. It could not take care of
itself; it also has a little mind that
would always remain ignorant with-
out some sort of instruction; it also
has a moral nature out of which
character may be developed, or left ;
forever undeveloped. The child needs j
to be carefully watched, to be kept out
of the fire, or from a hot stove or
from falling from an upper window or J
elsewhere to his injury or death. Also ,
to keep it from eating dirt or poison
or anything else it can get to its |
mouth—to its injury or death. It
must be properly fed and clothed and i
protected, or it will soon die. But with
proper food, clothing, protection and j
exercise, it will develop into a strong [
physical manhood in about twenty |
years.
And the little "ignorant" mind may
be so educated and developed that in
about the same time the child may
become an intelligent, strong man, or
woman. But if the moral nature is
:iot developed such a person might
become an atheist, an agnostic or an
nfidel, or very unreliable, wicked and
untrustworth. But proper train-
ing in the realm of the moral and
spiritual—a proper brining "them up
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord" will point their little minds
and hearts up to God, and help them
to resist the forces of evil that play
about them.
A good way to ruin a boy is to give
rtim a cursing, drinking, gambling
Jather, who cares nothing for the
Bible, the Sunday School and the
church; who indulges in all the evils
of his time, and teaches his boy to
do the same. And the boy will fol-
low in his father's footsteps. Great
and noble and high thoughts of God
and heaven cannot develop in a boy's
mind and heart under such training.
And a good way to save a boy is to
give him a Christian father who loves
and reads the Bible and prays in his
home and walks uprightly. So also
of the girl. A silly, worldly, dancing
mother can easily lead her daughter
to destruction. A devout, noble Chris- j
tian mother may lead her daughter in |
the path of wisdom and righteousness, j
Of course, outside influences have to i >
be reckoned with in every case.
Not Much in Blood.
It has been said, "blood will tell,"
and it will and does, in the brute
world, where neither intellect nor
character is to be developed; and it is
true that some families are more
ntelligent and more noble than others.
But those who depend on the fine
blood flowing in their children's veins
to save them without careful training
will likely turn out on the commun-
ity a mighty sorry lot of "scrubs." No
blood is sufficient to save any one, ex-
cept the blood of Christ. Every boy
has blood good enough, and brain big
enough to make a splendid man under
proper conditons; and every girl has
blood good enough, and brain big
enough to make a splendid woman un-
der proper conditions. Yes, there is a
great deal more in environment than
in blood. God sft"s "train," "nurture"!'
your children. He does not depend -
upon the rich, fine, or even the royal *
blood that may flow in their veins. ■*
Neither should we, any more than we j *
would depend upon the rich soil of a 1 *
garden producing fine vegetables with- j *
out cultivation. The moral nature of j *
the child must be carefully protected
or it will get hurt with sin, and pois-
oned with worldly pleasure. But the
well developed child, physically, men-
ially and morally, so that he is strong,
intelligent and good, is the man we
want to see in every walk of life—in
every place of business.

As an initial indication of displeas-

Lausanne treaty, the Turkish govern-
ment has decided to start collecting
customs duties on all articles import-
ed into Turkey for American schools
and philanthropic institutions. This
action by Kemal Pasha seems to jus-
