Clark to Oppose Wider Well To U. of T.
Spacing Before Geologists
By DAVID LEAVELL
“IJIDER WELL Spacing—Panacea or Delusion," the oil man’s
W perennial controversial issue, will receive another "airing" when
Stuart K. Clark, assistant chief geologist for the Continental Oil Co.,
discusses the subject before a joint dinner-meeting of the Geological
Society and the Petroleum Engineers Club.
The occasion, arranged by the
geologists, will be at 6:30 p. m.
next Monday in the Worth Hotel.
C. L. Mohr, chief geologist for the
Ambassador Oil' Corp., is program
chairman.
The speaker, recognized nation-
ally as an outstanding authority in
his profession, "stuck his neck
out” last fall when he said, in one
of his magazine articles, that wid-
er well spacing as a solution to
declining well allowables was
erroneous.
Argument over the issue has
been greatly accelerated since
proration was inaugurated, a con-
spicuous effect of which has been
the persistent decline of average
well allowables in prorated areas,
with a resulting decline in revenue
per dollar invested.

AUSTIN, April 25.—Never have
University of Texas students been
so eager to go to class as they
are today. For "Professor” Kay
Kyser has brought his "College of
Musical Knowledge” to the Forty
Acres for a musical quiz program
this afternoon and a dance tonight
in Gregory Gym.
Editors and writers of the
Southwest gathered on the cam-
pus yesterday with student journ-
alists—such as Fort Worthers
RUTH MINTER. BILL WHIT-
MORE, and ELEANOR ANNE
WILSON—for the university’s sec-
ond annual Journalism Day.
Highlight was the luncheon hon-
oring M. E. Foster, editor emeritus
of the Houston Press. And last
night H. R. Knickerbocker, for-
eign war correspondent, lectured
on the happenings in Europe.

Wider Spacing in West Texas
Many of the nation’s leading
geologists and petroleum engineers
are advo< ting wider well spac-
ing as a solution to their problem
s of declining allowables, with many
areas, particularly West Texas,
adopting the practice on the
premise that it does constitute a
solution.
In advancing his arguments
the practice, Clark also dwells on
the economics of proration, point-
ing out possible constructive
changes in its application.
Claims Overall Rate Is Problem
The standard wider spacing
argument follows a well defined
pattern:
Declining allowables are due to
too many wells . , .
Wider spacing represents the
ideal solution; doubling the num-
ber of acres per well cuts the
number of wells in half; reduce
development costs proportionately;
eave more oil available for wells
to be drilled, thus insuring profit-
able operations.
But Clark maintains that the
persistent decline of per well al-
, jowables under proration is due
to excessive overall rate of de-
velopment, and that it does not
matter whether wells are drilled

Baby fish are planted in lakes,
streams and even in the ocean as
replacements for those which fall
victim to man.
"The role of fish hatcheries as
an elemental factor in conserving
the majority of the food and game
species is widely conceded,” Tay-
lor said. “The heaviest mortality
among fishes occurs in early life.
Artificial propagation is designed
to eliminate this hazard.”
Taylor said there were six fed-
eral hatcheries in Texas which last
year distributed 3,259,755 eggs, fry
and fingerlings of eight species.
