CRATER MYSTERY SETTLED
The Arizona meteor crater has
been a subject of controversy among
geologists, physicists and mining en-
gineers. The crater, which is situated
in the plains near Winslow, Ariz., is
an elliptic pit about three-quarters of
a mile long and some 600 feet deep.
It is surrounded by a circular ridge or
parapet that rises about 130 feet
above the plateau. Modern methods
have settled the matter beyond a
doubt. A survey was made of the
electrical resistance of the under-
ground formations, together with ob-
servations on the variations of the
earth’s magnetic force. From these
studies predictions were made as to
the location and depth of the mete-
oric material, depth to water and
other structural effects. Two drill
holes put down verified the predic-
tions, encountering the meteoric mass
at a depth of about 680 feet. Thus
the controversy was settled.
The first football fatality in the
United States for the 1934 season
was Edwin Thiele, 17-year-old Val-
ley Mills, Texas, football player.
Edwin, pictured above, received a
head injury in a game with Lorena,
and died Saturday night in a Waco
hospital without regaining con-
sciousness. Valley Mills won the
game, 19 to 0. This young man
was captain of his football team,
president of the Senoior class, and
one of the outstanding students of
Valley Mills high school. (Texas

THIRTY YEARS OF PROGRESS
October marks the THIRTIETH ANNI-
VERSARY of the Hoffmann-Hayman Cof-
fee Company, San Antonio, Texas, one of
the pioneer Roasters in the State of Texas.
From a mere handful of satisfied customers
in 1904 to the present wide popularity of
the fine products of this firm throughout
the Southwest, is a story woven around a
standard of Quality and Fair Dealing.
f In their modem plant, erected during the
depression, many Texans find employment
in the manufacture of the large line of
High-Grade Coffee, Teas, Spices and Ex-
tracts.
Three of the most popular brands of Cof-
fee in the State today are: “H and H”, “Sam
Houston” and “Texas Girl”. %

Troup.—The life of the East Texas
oil field should extend at least twelve
years longer, actively producing, and
should continue around fifty years
with production slowly declining for
lack of pressure, according to J. S.
Hudnall, East Texas petroleum en-
gineer and geologist.
Approximately 22 per cent of the
ultimate oil recovery and 9 per cent
of the potential Recovery have been
withdrawn at the present time, Hud-
nall estimated. The East Texas field
should recover between 40 and 60 per
cent of the deposit, which means that
between 3,150,000,000 and 3,800,000,-
000 barrels will be withdrawn during
the life of the field, he stated. The
geologist described the three tests
through which he based his estimates.
The East Texas field now occupies
an area of 120,000 acres, with an ul-
timate area of 120,000 acres in Gregg,
Smith, Rusk, Upshur and Cherokee
Counties and possibly Harrison coun-
ty.
“The pool is estimated at fifty
miles in length, eight miles in width,
at its widest point and four miles in
width at its narrowest pont. A total
of 14,600 wells have been drilled, an
average of one well to 8.2 acres. If
the price of oil goes higher than $1
per barrel, many more wells will be
drilled, Hudnall believes.
“If the East Texas field should be
drilled to the density of the Powell
field, it would average one well to
each five acres. The London townsite,
covering about fifty acres, is the most
densely drilled section, with an aver-
age of one well to one acre. The Glade-
water townsite will average one well
to four acres. Kilgore’s average is one
well to three acres, while most of the
major companies will average one
well to ten acres.
‘Withdrawals of the oil vary in
different sections of the field. Some
wells have produced 50,000 barrels per
acre, which seems to be a fair esti-
mate for an average.
“As to ultimate recovery from the
East Texas field, the highest esti-
mate has been 4,000,000,000 barrels.
Total production from the field at
this time has been estimated at 620,-
000,000 barrels. The volumetric sys-
tem of estimates indicates an ulti-
mate recovery of 6,000,000,000 to
8,000,000,000 barrels.
“By comparison with other major
fields, the Powell field has produced
45 per cent of its potential recovery.
The East Texas field should produce
from 40 to 60 per cent of the
sible recovery,” Hudnall said.
Since only seventeen wells have
been "drowned out” by water and be-
cause of other factors, Hudnall said
his theory is that the East Texas
field would never be drowned out, but
probably would cease production for
lack of pressure.
Average potential production of the
entire field has been 10,000 barrels
per day per well, but at present will
average 6,600 barrels per day per
well, Hudnall added.
EDITORIAL
October is the tenth month of the
year, and it has thirty-one days. The
word October comes from the Latin
word meaning eighth, for in the early
Roman times it was the eighth month
of the year. It received its present
place when Julius Caesar revised the
calendar.
October is one of the most beautiful
months of the year, especially in tem-
perate climes. In this month the woods
are beautiful. They are tinged with
crimson, russet, and gold and dotted
with goldenrods and wild asters,
which also make the roadsides gay.
October is a busy month for the
birds, for the leaves fall and deprive
them of their nest and the frost robs
them of insects.
October contains two special days.
The twelfth commemorates the day
Columbus beg-an a new life and his-
tory for the western hemisphere.
Hallowe’en, the day of all days, comes
on the thirty-first. R.L.G.
GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
All the students were busy Thurs-
day and Friday taking three-weeks’
exams.
Mrs. Harris, the English teacher,
was absent from school last Monday
because of illness in the family. Mrs.
Wm. Bertelson taught in her place.
The P. T. A. will meet for the first
time during this school term, Wed-
nesday evening at 7:30 o’clock. We
want to encourage all the parents to
attend these meetings in order to help
the teachers and students make this
a bigger and better school year. A
yearly program is being made so we
will be sure to have good programs
all during the school term.
There are seventy-four students en
rolled in high school and one hundred
and six in grammar school, making a
total enrollment of 180.
The pep squad held their meeting
Tuesday night. The squad was or-
ganized and yells were practiced. It
was decided to have a weiner roast
the following Tuesday night at the
Meridian dam. The squad seems to be
progressing nicely and we are going
to try to help the Lions win their
games. E.P.

WIND EROSION AND DESERTS
St. Louis Globe- Democrat: There
is good sound reason back of the un-
easiness recently expressed in the
Forest Service at Washington that
in the recent dust storms that swept
a number of States of the Middle
West—the Nation may be witnessing
early steps in the creation of a new
American desert. For the erosive in
fluence of wind and water, either sing-
gly or in combination, is what makes
deserts.
Not that the two notable dust
storms that rose in a number of Mid-
dle Western States this spring and
deposited many million tons of top-
soil in other States that did not want
it are anything new in the way of
dust storms save for their wide extent
and their severity because of drouth
conditions and the persistent strong
winds that made them possible. For
the wearing away, though in milder
form, has been going on ever since
prairie sods were destroyed either by
farming or stock-grazing operations
and dried and unbound topsoils thus
bared to the mercy of strong winds
and running water.
The point is that other fair lands
both of America and of older coun-
tries have gone the same way and
that there is probably no way of pre-
venting history repeating itself unless
we improve our practices of soil con-
servation and employ better ways to
protect land surfaces exposed to the
wear and tear of the elements, surface
water as well as wind. It has been es-
timated that the ravages of erosion
have already ruined 21,000,000 acres
of American land that was once pro-
ductive, much of it, of course, in the
older sections of the East and Souths
and most of the damage, no doubt,
caused by surface waters.
But recent generations of farmers
have laid great areas of the dry prai-
rie States bare and winds have joined
the waters in destruction, with the un-
precedented drouth of the present
spring bringing the situation to the
attention of the entire Nation. Some
sections of the dust-storm area were
stripped of topsoil clear down to the
hard-pan and millions of tons of dirt
removed along with the seed and •
wheat sprouts it contained: Soil that
was not removed to distant and inno- .
cent States, even as far removed as
those on the Atlantic seaboard, was
deposited like drifted snow nearer
home, covering fences in some in-
stances and depositing inches of un-
wanted soil on growing crops.
The Forest Service issues this warn*
ing: “Unless more conservative graz-
ing is practiced on semi-arid land and
unless greater care is exercised in
plowing up extensive areas for wheat
production in regions subject to
drouth, desert conditions will begin,
and once established, these lands can
never be reclaimed.” , So if Western
farmers want their land, they must do
their part to hold it.
The Record has some scholarships
on several of the very best business
colleges in the State, that may be
bought by responsible persons at very
reasonable prices and terms to suit
the purchaser. Now would be a very
fine time for a boy or girl to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity and be
ready to take a good paying position
when business picks up again. Call
