HALF DOZEN MORE BEACH PRODUCERS Just prior to the agreement reached by the leading producers and developers of So. Calif., the Long Beach field yielded a half dozen or more good producers. The new wells that were brought in and put on production were apportioned for the most part among the smaller oil companies of the field. The Bush Oil Company led with the largest producer. On the Graham property No. 2 completed at 4800 feet started off at 3500 barrels, 26 gravity. The Graham producer is one of the largest wells the Bush Oil Co. has brought in at Long Beach and makes the property one of the choice leases of the field. The Fred B. Foster Co. now has its first real big oil producer at Long Beach. Well No. 54 completed at 4002 feet is flowing 2800 barrels. It required some 162 feet of screen pipe to take care of the oil zone, and the well looks like one of the coming producers of the field. The Fred B. Foster Co. has had a little difficulty in getting underway at Long Beach but it seems that they have struck their stride and from now on great things can be expected from the organization. The field management of the Faster Co. is under the supervision of "Pat" Malley former field superintendant for the Associated Oil Company. Deep drilling by the General Petroleum is now one of the features of the Long Beach field. The G. P. has two deep wells that are expected to make a showing soon. Black-Drake No. 2 has passed the 5000 mark and according to the showing made by the famous No. 1 in the upper zone No. 2 should be a world beater in the deep sand. SOCCO No. 2 was completed at 4072 feet and promises "We are active in all markets" SMACKOVERS MARKETS TODAY'S QUOTATIONS BY International News Service STOCKS CLOSE STEADY NEW YORK, May 2.—The stock market closed steady.

The Finland well last week came in at 700 barrels at a depth of 3857 feet, and has increased its production to 1ooo barrels. Janicks No. 1 now drilling at 44OO is scheduled for the Hub's next well. The famous Herwick 7 the outpost well that coaxed development further northwest than any other well in the Long Beach field is to go down and test out the deep sands. Herwick 7 at 4525 feet has been on production several months doing approximately 3oo barrels. It is believed that 6 or 8 hundred feet more hole will put the outpost well in the gurcher class. Ed Herwick had the courage to locate the well months in advance of anything in the extreme northwest section of the field and he is deserving of a big well. While the wrangle among the city officials of Long Beach and interests adjoining the Union Pacific's right of way (the) over the right to drill the property the Pan-American Petroleum Co. is going ahead just as though there was no controversy. It seems that the Pan-American has drilled other rail road right-of-way in its time and must know the status of the situation. The Pan-American three steel rigs up and actual drilling will be underway in a few days. The tall stately and trim steel rigs makes a splendid showing. No chances will be taken with the fire hazard and the Pan-American will develop the property in the quiet and efficient manner characterizing its former developments. The Painted Hills Oil Association's success at Long Beach continues without a break. This company quit a dry hole in the mountains of San Bernardino, selected properties at Long Beach and in the few short months the company has been in the field it has put three wells on production.

The field operations of the big companies at Long Beach show a shutting in of production, and a curtailment of drilling operations. Many of the big companies are doing all that can be done to take care of the production of the smaller operators and to do this it has been necessary to curtail both production and development. It is believed that it will require from three to five months to adjust the present condition of over-production, pipe line and storage shortages.

Wahlberg, at the Cypress Farm Center meeting. There are 572 varieties of black beetles known today. Various suggestions toward helping control the wire worms were given. They pass through several stages: First, the egg stage, second, the larvae, in which they have a hard coated shell which withstands shock; third, the peauba stage, a cocoon. This stage lasts about four months. From August to November, and with thorough cultivation of the soil as a protective measure, can be destroyed to a certain extent. The wire worm thrives in a temperature of 65 to 75 degrees, and are susceptible to extreme heat, by disturbing the soil they are brought to the surface and exposed to the heat. Dipping seed in poison has not proved successful as there is no repellant solution known, as the worms are gas proof. By endeavoring to keep down Bermuda grass and weeds one diminishes the supply of the pest. One instance given of helping save the crop from the wire worm was with the baited method, used by a grower in Ventura county in his lima bean field. He measured out every 8 feet in the infested spot, drilled a hole and planted a small potato attached to a wire. In two weeks he raised the potato took from it the worm and put it into a can. He returned the potato to the ground or planted the new one. In a few days he was ready to set out the bean crop. Natural enemies of the worm are the mole, horn toads, lizards and garden snakes. Early planting when it is dormant also gets ahead of the worm in some sections. R. O. Arkley of G. G. Farm Center, gave an interesting talk in which he Buena Park News BUENA PARK, May 2.—Mr. C. D.

Mr. and Mrs.D.B.Brown and Amalgamated Doing Big Things Again WITH OIL OPERATORS The Amalgamated Oil Co., has returned to the stage of big things at Santa Fe Springs. It will be remembered that the Amalgamated figured strongly in the development of the field following the Union's Bell discovery well, but soon after had drilling difficulties that prevented the holding of the pace. This week the Amalgamated came back with a big well on a new property. On the Jordan property the Amalgamated completed an 8000 barrel well, producing 35.2 gravity oil. The Amalgamated expects to return the famed Dalluge No.1 to production in the deep sand with a flow of not less than 5000 barrels. Production honors went to the Boeske Oll Company for its initial well at Santa Fe Springs. The Big Boeske producer was completed on the Wardman property at 4780 and started off at 8000 barrels. The big producer was brought in by the McKeon Drilling Company and just adds another one to the long list of wells brought in by Jack McKeon. The Coalinga-Mohawk Company succeeded in bringing Batson back a good producer after redrilling and deepening the well to 3950 feet.The "renewed" producer is now rated at 1100 barrels, 34 gravity.The Batson property has proven one of the best of the many properties Coalinga-Mohawk has taken in the Santa Fe Springs field.

The Union Oil Company's Meyer 3 the real discovery well of the Springs field is back on production making 300 barrels. This well was completed back in the dim past eight years ago at 4595 and for a number of years produced a 100 barrels daily. Recently the well dropped off 4736 feet resulted in bringing the producer back to 400 barrels. The Union Oil Company's banner well in the Springs field is Bell No. 4, a steady producer at 5850 barrels. About twenty operators in the southern extension of the Santa Fe Springs field have united their efforts to deepen and make a test well out of Ferdon and Vurpillat's Cooperative Petroleum Syndicate No. 1. The well was recently abandoned at 5252. Headed by the Are-Bee Oil Syndicate adjacent operators have pooled together subscribed a fund of $35,000 and put the well down to 5700 feet. The action of the operators in pooling their interests is unique in oil circles, and will result in the saving of thousands of dollars. In place of drilling a number of wells deep test will be made FIND 2 BODIES IN CHICAGO RIVER CHICAGO, May 2. — The body of an unidentified girl of 22 and that of an unidentified man of 35 were found in the Chicago river this afternoon.
