ADVERTISING A HEALTH
SERVATTVE s *
Milk contests conducted by the (failed
States Department of Agriculture have
been highly ixsnefical in a number of
western stites, sufficiently so to give the
cue to local authorities where communities
are interested in the character of their
milk aupplr.
The movement is so simple it can be
put into operation by the ioca! health
boards or the authorixed health doctor of
any village.
Samples »f milk supplied by different
dealers are taken occasionally without
warning, bacterial counts arc taken, and
the milk scores are then made public in
the columns of the home town newspaper, same date.
It is found ntilk dealers do not like to
be surprised and dirty milk found on

the results are to be published,

average bacterial count in the firat con*

was down to 11823 The milk sold
figured 71256 aifid after the last contest

Dear Mr. Hibdon:—
The speedometer on my car now marks
over 3000 miles/ since I left Pecos ac-
companied by Mr. Ferguson and we iave
seen some country, believe me. I only
wish I had come up bore a year ago and
secured some of the choice oil properties
I jiave looked over and added them to the
assets of our Texas Company, for, if I had
we would have secured production long
ago and bees in shsp* to control money a. f«,m the *>„!, alKj hem thenet of rite

at work that loofcbd like a
you were half a mile from them,
is so easy and costs so little and the price
of oil here so great because of its quality
that it would seem that any man or com-
pany knowing the first principles
game could get production with a little
backing and clean up a fortune in
time. Think of getting a 200 ba
ducer in 15 to 20 days drilling. What
would Pecos have been by now had we
been able to do that there?
This is the best city in die state I have
so far seen and the natural headquarter*
for the oil men. The biggest producers
lie to the east and the other mentioned to
the northwest and all within easy reach.

We left Pecos via E! Paso and remained
a couple of days getting things in sh.|pe
for the long run and while there met and
conversed with many who had invest
the Pecos field and did not care to put in
more money but were anxious to get in!
somewhere else on the principle of not j
carrying ill of the in one basket.
You would be surprised to know the uames

of some of those people and djj? amounts
they intimated they would raise for ie-!
velopment up here if thing* looked favor- j
able. Money may be scarce but there Isj
plenty left in the country yet when the
right inducements are offered.
We ran rapidly through New Mexico!
and Colorado as there is little or no ©R j
possibilities in those states and we were
anxious to view the situation in Wvoraiag
where the government has set aside large
tracts of the best prospective oil Und in
America, the output to be piped to the
Atlantic Coast for the use of the navy.
What surprised us most was the frequency
of the oil fields and while they were not
extensive or of great production, as ip
Texas, yet there has been oil developed in
every county in Wyoming and the grade
state soBd it is all over here in a couple
of days when the wind gets in the west.
