reported here this week Besides
the gas flow, the well is produc-
ing around 20 barrels of distillate
per day, an informed source in-
dicated, although its pressure has
dropped from 2700 to 1200 pounds

Cut off from the gas line and
closed down at present, the near-
by Obelgoner well is awaiting a
reworking job scheduled to re-
quire several days and due to
start in about 30 days. The well
was shut down because of ex-
cessive moisture and gasoline
which had caused its flow to be-
come unsuitable for dry gas lines,
although its closed-in pressure
was reported to have remained at
the 27?0-pound
mark noted when it was first
brought in.

ville. states that approximately
450 old grower or regular allot-
ments will be'in the hands of
growers around March 1. In con-
nection with these allotments
there will be some reduction as
to those computed in 1949 but
just what it will be as the Coun-
ty allotment has not been an-
nounced by the USDA, Freytag
said.
Applications for new farm a-
lotments are now being accepted,
and the final date for making
such application-for these farms
is February 1, 1950. This, appli-
cation is for allotments on farms
that had no peanuts picked or
threshed in 1947, 1948 or 1949. A
new farm allotment will be es-
tablished in connection with the
filing date, provided the operator
is largely dependent on the farm
for a livelihood and the farm is
the only one owned or operated
by the operator for which a pea-
nut allotment is established for
1950, >
Such new grower farm allot-
ments and the amount of acreage
allotted each one that meets the
above requirements will depend
upon acreages set aside for this
purpose and those released to La-
vaca County, Freytag added.
