TWO NEW TESTS
(By H. J. Taylor)
The oil companies operating in
the Robberson Field have made
great progress in their work dur-
ing the past week and as a result
there are now two drilling wells
racing for the oil sand. Magnolia
spudded in on their new test in
Section nine late Saturday after-
noon. The new well is located in
the southeast corner of the north-
west quarter of Section nine,
township one north, range three
west. This test is a little more
than a mile northwest of the big
gasser in section sixteen. Magno-
lia no doubt expects to get an oiler
with this well as it is far enough
from the original gasser to expect
that the gas will be lighter and it
being quite possible to get the oil
sand at this point. Magnolia has
shown by their progress during
the past week that they intend to
give the field a good, and what is
more important to local people, a
quick test in practically every di-
rection from the two gassers. This
company made a location jn the
northeast quarter of Section Tw-
enty two and another location in
the Southeast quarter of Section
twenty-one, during the past week.
And just to show that they mean
business they brought the tim-
bers in on the ground for both
rigs during the same week. These
two new wells and the test of
Broadgate's in section twenty-
seven will give the field a good
test to the south of the gassers.
The test in section nine will test it

out to the north and northwest and j
the Wrightsman tests and the test J
of Magnolia in Section sixteen ,
will test the field to the west. j
It has been reported on good j
authority that Magnolia is to make
a location in the southwest corner ]
of section eleven, township one
north, range three west. In case
this test is made, and it is quite
natural a test should be made in j
this direction, the field will be tes-
ted out to the northeast.
C. J. Wrightsman has two rigs
Jup offsetting the two Magnolia
I gassers and Wrightsman spudded
jin on the off-set to the gasser on
j the Mauldin farm in Section six-
teen Tuesday afternoon. A rotary
outfit is being used to drill this
1 well and this assures quick work.
It should not take more than ten
j days to bring this well to the sand
where the casing will likely be
cemented and standard tools used
to drill into the sand. Magnolia is
using standard tools in section
nine and therefore it will prob-
ably be four or five weeks before
they reach the depth of the gas
sand found in section fifteen and
sixteen. With the aid of the logs
of the two gassers there should
not be any trouble encountered in
drilling this weil and it is expect-
ed that it will be drilled in record
time, considering the location of
the field, distance from supplies,
etc. Gas is being used for fuel
for all of the Magnolia new tests
and this fuel is also being suppli-
ed to Wrightsman for drilling his
tests.
The past week has been a quiet
one as far as lease trading is con-
cerned but it is to be expected that
activity along this line will pick
up in about ten days when the
Wrightsman test comes close to
reaching the sand and when the
Magnolia test in section nine gets
down to an interesting depth.
The value of leases has not de-
creased and the present owners of
leases seem satisfied to hold their
holdings for future developments,
geologists are active in their work
in the Robberson field and in
other sections of Garvin county
and blocks of acreage are being
made up in two or three different
sections of the county.

j FARM LANDS !
The very safest investment today is farm lands.
The surest way to insure advances on your invest-
cent is to buy farm lands and hold a year or two—its
continually advancing. Then there are any number
of people renting who should own their own farms.
Make the start today, own your own home and quit
moving every year or so. Get in the farm owner
class and be contented home owners. We have a
large listing of good farms, prices right to sell. Let
us show you some of them and help you select the
one that will meet your requirements and needs.
