The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter A BILLION BUSHEL CROP A bumper wheat crop this year, which before harvest may develop into a production of 1,000,000,000 bushels, was forecast Friday by the department of agriculture in its June crop report, giving the first indication of the size of this year's spring wheat output. Basing its estimate on June 1 conditions, the department forecast a total wheat production of 931,000,000 bushels, which would place this year's harvest as the second largest in the history of the country. In June, 1915, a total wheat production of 950,000,000 bushels was forecast and the quantity gradually crept upward until the final figures for the year showed the crop to be 1,025,800,000 bushels. The acreage sown to spring wheat this year is larger by 2,000,000 acres than ever sown before and 21.6 per cent larger than last year, aggregating 22,489,000 acres. The condition of the crop on June 1 was 95.2 per cent of normal, or 1.5 per cent better than the 10 year average. A production of 344,000,000 bushels was forecast. That is only 11,000,000 bushels more than harvested last year and only about 7,000,000 bushels less than the record spring wheat harvest of 1915. BOARD OF TRADE FIGURING ON A GLASS FACTORY Also Wants Flying Mall Carriers to Make Landing Here There is a possibility that Anaheim may have a glass factory in the near future. An eastern concern is figuring on establishing a factory on the Pacific coast, and Thomas Crawford reported to the board of trade Monday night that he had been in communication with the company. It manufactures only jars and containers, and as the Crawford marmalade factory uses large quantities of these, and other preserving plants in the neighborhood create a big demand, this would be an excellent location. The manufacturing committee will investigate the matter. In accordance with the recommendation of the government the board of trade requests that every business house display Old Glory tomorrow, which is officially designated as Flag Day. Wm. Jackson moved that the board of trade purchase a flag 8x12 in dimensions and unfurl it to the breeze on top of the Valencia building. Mr. Ziegler stated that he would pay half the cost consequently it was ordered purchased. F. K. Gresswell reported that he had printed a number of "We Give the Boys in Uniform a Lift," and thirty five were given out to autoists on Saturday. They are to be displayed on machines passing between Los Angeles and San Diego, and each one is an invitation to soldiers along the highway to Jump in and ride. An effort will be made to locate an aeroplane landing in this city, as government mail flyers will soon be passing over. Messrs. McCord, Dickel and Crawford were appointed a committee to select a site and offer it to the government. OIL FIELD By ELLWOOD The month of der record breaking judging from the field for the second big field is no longer close to the 5000 field shows a recent acreage that led large as comp other fields of this Recognizing that petroleum in the winning of the Southern work with a split that guarantees oil men are called recent report from Administration demands for the necessary received here with edgement of what erators are going figures. A very noticeized early in the number of new have been organized these mence work as seems that member and financing somewhat of a conditions for prises are far New oil companies developed field and in the oil well drilling plies were never present time having to do with production of ol The acreage sown to spring wheat this year is larger by 2,000,000 acres than ever sown before and 21.6 per cent larger than last year, aggregating 22,489,000 acres. The condition of the crop on June 1 was 95.2 per cent of normal, or 1.5 per cent better than the 10 year average. A production of 344,000,000 bushels was forecast. That is only 11,000,000 bushels more than harvested last year and only about 7,000,000 bushels less than the record spring wheat harvest of 1915. Winter wheat, growing on the second largest acreage ever planted, showed a condition 3 per cent better than the ten year average, with 83.8 per cent of normal. A production of 587,000,000 bushels was forecast, which is only 50,000,000 bushels more than forecast from conditions existing May 1. Such a crop would be the third in size grown in this country. The oat crop also promises to be of record proportions. On an acreage 2.1 per cent larger than last year, when the record crop—1,587,000,000 bushels—was grown, June 1 conditions warrant a forecast of 1,500,000,000 bushels. Only last year and the crop of 1915 exceeding that quantity. Rye production will be a record, the forecast being 81,000,000 bushels, which is slightly less than was forecast in May. Last year's crop was 60,100,000 bushels, which was a record. Chief interest in the June crop report centered in the production forecast of this year's wheat crop. That is an essential factor in the feeding of the armies of the United States and the allies and the civilian populations. With the American people using the least amount of wheat possible and sending to Europe every bit they can spare, the size of this year's crop will determine the extent to which wheat will be available for home use until the 1919 harvest. The government had hoped for a 1,000,000,000 bushel crop. Almost ideal weather conditions have prevailed during much of the spring growing season and it was felt that Friday's forecast would show an increase in the estimated production of winter wheat which is growing on the largest acreage ever planted to that crop. A large increase in the acreage of spring wheat announced Friday for the first time; was looked for, and the condition of that crop was expected to be excellent.

Merritt, food commissioner for California, said: "The control of sugar allotted to manufacturers will, so far as we can see, continue throughout the war. All manufacturers of less essential food products using sugar must file the required statement with you by June 10 covering sugar used, on hand, and their requirements and showing their present situation in order that we may know they are conforming to our rules. If their sugar on hand plus the amount used to date is more than 80 per cent of the amount used by them from January to July, 1917, such excess must be turned over to the Food Administrator for his disposition. "Unless these sworn affidavits are filed with this office, or county food administrator by June 10th, no sugar will be allotted for the balance of 1918 to the manufacturer failing to make such return. In other words, if any manufacturer has in stock a larger amount of sugar and thinks thereby that he has no occasion to apply to the food administration and does not take cognizance of the rules, he will suffer the penalty for his failure to make report and is likely to be proceeded against as a hoarder in the meantime."

Every time you take a meal out of your own garden, you save the equivalent in other foods to be used in winning the war. That is one side of it. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save money—good hard money that can be used for any one of a score of things that would make the family more comfortable—or for investment in Liberty bonds, Thrift Stamps and safety. That's the other side. And the bed rock bottom of it is that you have a better, more wholesome summer meal than if you had gone to market and bought a lot of meat and stuff. Make the most of the home garden. Study it. Maybe you already know all of the delicious ways in which all sorts of garden truck can be prepared for the table. If you do, be a philanthropist. Impart some of your knowledge to your neighbor. If you do not, get the information that the United States department of agriculture has gathered on that subject—and apply it. ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The month of June started off under record breaking conditions and judging from the survey of the local field for the second week of the month the big field is not going to fall short. With a proven oil acreage running close to the 5000 mark, the Southern field shows a remarkable activity for an acreage that cannot be considered large as compared to some of the other fields of the state. Recognizing the supreme importance that petroleum is going to assume in the winning of the war the operators of the Southern field have gone to work with a spirit and a willingness that guarantees the success that the oil men are called upon to make. A recent report from the National Fuel Administration board setting forth the demands for the production to meet the necessary war needs has been received here with the full acknowledgment of what it means and the operators are going about to meet the figures. A very noticeable condition recognized early in the week is the large number of new oil companies that have been organized and it is the intention of these companies to commence work as soon as possible. It seems that men are banding together and financing new oil concerns from somewhat of a patriotic move as the conditions for launching new enterprises are far from being favorable. New oil companies are being organized to develop new portions of the field and in the face of the fact that oil well drilling materials and supplies were never as high as at the present time. Prices on everything having to do with the development and production of oil have advanced due beginning and the two wells drilling are going rather slow. Southern California oil operators were thrilled with the wonderful showing made by the Union's big gusher on the La Merced lease in the Montebello field early last week. However, the great and unexpected showing made by the well was short lived. No. 4 drilled to a depth of 2805 feet was put on the beam and pumped for four days before oil appeared, and when the flow commenced it produced at the rate of 5000 barrels per day. After flowing about a day the well sanded up and quit as suddenly as it started. It is now understood that the water is the cause of the stoppage of the oil flow and a second effort will be made to cement the well and shut off the water. On account of the big showing made by the well it is believed that as soon as the water problem is solved the well will be the Union's biggest producer. No. 2 on the LaMerced lease is about to go on production and is being tubed and made ready. This well has shown up fairly good and something worth while is looked for. At No. 8 drilling at 1939 is now temporarily held up on account of a fishing job. At No. 9 rig building is being rushed as fast as possible. The Union's Myer lease well at Santa Fe Springs is making very good headway these days in drilling. The depth is now 3600 feet and the formation of brown hale is soft enough to allow good daily drilling records. This well considered by many as a "Jonah" is now looking rather encouraging and may prove a big surprise. The Union's Stearns No. 55 is now drilling past the 2900 mark and is in a hard sand that makes rotary drilling a little slower than usual. On account of the extremely hard forma- the little Brea canyon is now drilling at 3860 feet. At this depth some very promising sampels of oil sand have been taken. The gas continues to grow stronger and the colors are convincing. When the 3900 foot mark is reached it is believed that the Copa De Oro will have an oil well that will startle local operators and reward the company handsomely for its time, money and labor. The General Petroleum Co. drilling at Montebello have No. 1 on the Alcitro lease drilling at 1650 feet. No. 2 on this property has been located. On the Ralph lease No. 1 is drilling at 2050. On the Stone and Cruz properties newly acquired properties a rig for a well on eac his rapidly assuming completion. The Liberty Oil company, a Brea and Anaheim concern has completed its organization work and is about to commence putting material on the ground for a well that will start drilling early in July at Newport. The newly organized oil company has some very good acreage adjacent to the Standard's lease and stands a very good show of getting a share of the good things that may be found in the new field. The West Coast operating in the old Olinda field has commenced work on a new well to be known as No. 69. Rig building on the well has started. No. 69 is drilling in the brown shale at 2400 feet and is making hole rapidly No. 74 is drilling in the oil sand at 2860 feet and is showing up in a very pleasing manner. The TriState's well at La Habra is fast becoming one of the wonders of the local field. The well is now drilling at 5865 feet and will soon hold the local field's deep well record. At this depth some very promising sampels of oil sand have been taken. The gas continues to grow stronger and the colors are convincing.

New oil companies are being organized to develop new portions of the field and in the face of the fact that oil well drilling materials and supplies were never as high as at the present time. Prices on everything having to do with the development and production of oil have advanced during the past ten months from 50 to 100 per cent. Not only has the price of materials been unprecedented but the chances for getting the necessary supplies on the ground has to be considered seriously. However in the face of this situation the number of wells drilling today is a very remarkable fact. A year ago the local field was credited with 83 wells drilling. Today there are over 100. A year ago the production was 44,000 barrels daily, today it is 59,000 barrels. The California Star Oil company has completed the work of building a rig on the Nutt tract and is rigging up for drilling. Two wells, one on the Bargsten ranch drilled to 3200 and a well on the Compte tract drilled to 1699 feet are standing idle waiting on the development of adjacent property. The Interstate Oil Co. is drilling on No. 1 and has reached a depth of 2385 feet. The Mascot Oil Co. drilling on the Gregg tract has cemented its well at a depth of 2017 feet. On the Bicknell tract the Pan American company has cemented No. 1 at 2017. No. 1 on the Hellman lease is drilling at 1980 feet. The Tri-City lease now has one well drilling at 3300 feet. The Petroleum Midway, the leading operating concern among the smaller companies now has eight wells drilling on as many different leases in the new Montebello field. This company's Germain well is now standing suspended at a depth of 2770 feet. The Howard Smith well has been drilled to a depth of 3360 and is waiting on casing. No. 1 on the Mulholand tract is drilling at 2050 in hard sand. Prugh No. 1 is standing suspended at 1412 feet. Just what will be done with this well could not be learned at this time. Prugh No. 2 is holding up close to its initial production of 2200 barrels and has become one of the best headway these days in drilling. The depth is now 3600 feet and the formation of brown hale is soft enough to allow good daily drilling records. This well considered by many as a "Jonah" is now looking rather encouraging and may prove a big surprise. The Union's Stearns No. 55 is now drilling past the 2900 mark and is in a hard sand that makes rotary drilling a little slower than usual. On account of the extremely hard formation great care has to be taken in the operation of the rotary at this depth. The two cylinder steam engine operating the rotary is working very nicely and is so easy on the pipe that a great record for rotary drilling is being expected on this well. On account of the absence of the fly wheel the engine constantly adjusts itself to the strain on the drill pipe and renders a twist off almost impossible. At Valley View the Union is making a very determined effort to recover from a bad fishing job and save some 1500 feet of hole already drilled. A string of tools is in the hole. After a very exhaustive pumping test of three weeks duration the Amalgamated has decided to carry out a series of tests with the intention of locating the incoming water that seemingly is keeping the oil back. It seems that previous to the completion of the drilling of the well at a depth of 3663 feet a pretty fair showing was observed, and the management are anxious to trace out the water and get it shut off in order that the well may be tried out under more favorable circumstances. At a little better than 1700 feet the Amalgamated has met with a rather serious difficulty in the drilling of the Durfee well. At this mark caving sand and soft formations rendered progress in drilling close to impossible. A quantity of cement will be put in the well with the intention of plastering up the walls of the well and preventing the caving so that the drilling can go ahead. The work will be watched with interest as William Kammmerer, one of the most capable oil men in the game today is directing it, and he is a man that wrings success out of the most difficult and perplexing conditions. At Brea the Amalgamated have No. 42 on the Anaheim lease drilling at 2525. The formation is brown sand shale with a good showing of gas al- new Montebello field. This company's Germain well is now standing suspended at a depth of 2770 feet. The Howard Smith well has been drilled to a depth of 3360 and is waiting on casing. No. 1 on the Mulholand tract is drilling at 2050 in hard sand. Prugh No. 1 is standing suspended at 1412 feet. Just what will be done with this well could not be learned at this time. Prugh No. 2 is holding up close to its initial production of 2200 barrels and has become one of the best wells drilled in the Montebello field. The Petroleum Midway's Darlington is undergoing a water test at 2275. Taylor No. is drilling in hard sand at 2700 feet. The Pluma Briana well better known as the Prunes and Bannanas is now testing out for a production. The well is pumping oil and water, fifty-fifty. The company has just started a new well on the Walter lease and have made some 900 feet of hole. The Shell Company of California have two wells drilling. No. 1 on the Baldwin is down 400 feet and is making very good progress. No. 1 on the Cross Land Company's property is drilling at 1403 feet and the drilling with an electric motor is reported to be making very good time. The Riverside Portland Cement Co. has No. 1 standing cemented at a depth of 1995 feet. No. 2 is new rig and preparations will soon be underway for drilling. The Rice ranch well is now standing cemented at a depth of 2390 feet. It is understood that this well made a very good showing previous to the cementing and the resumption of drilling will be watched with considerable interest. The Clara Stocker wells have met with considerable difficulty from the plastering up the walls of the well and preventing the caving so that the drilling can go ahead. The work will be watched with interest as William Kammerer, one of the most capable oil men in the game today is directing it, and he is a man that wrings success out of the most difficult and perplexing conditions. At Brea the Amalgamated have No. 42 on the Anaheim lease drilling at 2525. The formation is brown sandy shale with a good showing of gas already. The Birch Oil company through its superintendent Joseph Royer announces the completion of the drilling of No. 14 at a depth of 3940 feet. The deep sand in this well was encountered at 3700 feet, so that the completion depth gives some 270 feet of oil sand to draw from. The well is 30 feet deeper than the famous No. 5. While no gusher is expected at 14 a good well is a certainty. The perforating of the casing and the installation of the tubing are now underway and the well will be on the beam early next week. The Brea Canyon's No. 29 has hit the oil sand at a depth of 3900 feet. No. 14 drilling less than 1000 feet away came into the oil sand at 3699. These facts show that the formation of the Brea Canyon district is greatly broken up and the possibility of extensive dips of the oil sand is shown in a very conclusive manner. Thus it was necessary to drill 262 feet deeper in one well than in another less than 1000 feet away in order to get into the sand. Rapid progress is being made on the well.

Well has started. the brown shale at making hole rapidly in the oil sand at showing up in a very well at La Habra is of the wonders of the well is now drill will soon hold the well record. At this has been decided to proceed with the rotary instead of the standard tools. The change to the rotary will enable fast drilling and in a month's time the well will be deep enough to get a line on the formation of the new field. It is understood that a number of small companies are anxious to see the Standard get a well down and do the prospecting before they are compelled to start on their leases. On the Kraemer lease in the Brea field the Standard's initial test well has passed the 2300 mark and is drilling in gray sand. Excellent progress is being made and good results are expected in a few weeks. On the Baldwin lease the Standard is confining development work for the present to one well only. No. 6 is drilling at 1732 feet. Tuesday afternoon Justice Gox ordered W. E. Wright of Fullerton held to answer for trial in the superior court on a felony charge. Wright is accused of driving an auto while intoxicated and while doing so being the cause of injuries inflicted upon Capt. A. E. Koepsel, Lieutenants Jesse Ellott, J. C. Hayden and Francis Smith all of whom are home guard officers. Sheriff Jackson was the first witness. He and other witnesses stated that the Home Guards were lined up for review when Wright, turning on Commonwealth avenue, Fullerton, ran down the four officers. Jackson testified that Wright was intoxicated. Dr. W. M. McMullen of Fullerton, called to examine Wright immediately after the injury to the officers, testified that he had examined Wright at the time to see if he was intoxicated, and he had found that he was intoxicated. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel appeared against Wright, who is being defended by Attorneys Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana and Leonard Evans of this city. Arthur U. Bowen of Anaheim, who has been a driver of a Valley stage for the past year, will be entrained today by the local board to be sent to Corvallis, Ore.
