Washington Nov. 14. J. Ogdcn
Armour head of tho Armour pack
ing interests conferred at length
today with President Harding re-
garding a proposed merger of Ar
mour interests with Morris and
company. ' t
Armour refused to discuss the na
ture of his conference with the
president saying he had presented
to him the same information he had
laid before Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace.
Wallace is expected to ask the
department of justice and the fed
eral trade commission for opinions
as to whether the proposed merger
will be legal under existing laws.
The opinion prevailed today that
if it were shown that the merger
would In any way restrain com
merce It would not nave tne ap
proval of the federal government.
A final decision must be made by
Secretary Wallace in charge of the
administration of the packers and
stock yards act but It is not ex-
pected he will act -before a month.
. Rumors were current that If the
Armour-Morris merger were ap-
proved a combine of all the big"
companies would bo sought by the
packing Interests.
Strong opposition to any merger
is expected from progressives In
congress who forced through tho
packer control law at the last ses-
sion. The Gulf of 'Mexico touches 3640

PHASE OF FIELD
People and Wildcatters Hoped for
Production Few Months Ago but
Now Wonder What Will
Do With Output (i
SOME ARE ADVOCATING
ONE WELL TO 40 ACRES
Flock of Producers Stimulate Hunt
for Oil Pool; Some Will Pop
It Open Soon Is Belief
of Oil Men Here.
Two new well for tho Chickasha
gas field were expected today.
They aro: Mummort Drilling ruin
pauy section i:i-rn-w and tho Mag-
nolia No. 3 In section W-.'.n-Sw.
Field report at 2:30 sluled that
Hume urell are expected "In" any
moment.
The Mummort well "was""bulliid
yestorday to see If tho coMlng seat
was holding. Reports suld it was
being drilled today.
A few months ago Crndy county
peoplo were hoping that some of tho
wells drilling In tho county would
open a gas or oil field. Llkewlso
the operators wero watching tho
Orady county tests without a great
deal of hope for the opening ot a
gas or oil field.
In four months otter John B.
NIchlos opened tho ChlckaBha gus
field there Is more thun twice as
much gn available as the pipe line
of the Oklahoma Natural can carry.
It is being produced from 12 wells
and with twice thut many more drill-
ing the prospects are that by the
first of the year the field will be
producing sufficient gus for four
such lines to carry running at full
capacity.
The combined volume of the 13
wells Is something neur 360000000
cubic foot a day. Consorvatlon rulos
ot tho stute permit tho taking of
one-fourth of the volume making In
the neighborhood of 87600000 cuhlo
feet of marketable gas a day. The
present line of the Oklahoma Nat-
ural in tho field oil men say is
capable of carrying from 37000000
to 40000000 cubic feet a day. There
is therefore twice as much available
gas as the line can carry.
Relief Is Being Soug'it.
Some of the operutors are looking
about for relief from this situation.
Some (in advocating tho discontin-
uance of drilling regulation offset
wells and tho adoption of the custom
of drilling but one well to 40 acres
in the gas area. This they point
out will mean a long life for the
field and the development at much
less expense.
Oil men state that the field under
ordinary circumstances apparently
will be long lived. They give as
their reason the thickness of the
sand being 80 feet thick in some ot
the wells. With a super-abundance
ot gas already available and with the
prospects that In a few months
the output will be more than
doubled owners of the wells are
looking for additional marketing
facilities.
The gas Is to be tested soon for
Its gasoline content. It la known
that in the event this test proves to
be satisfactory a casinghead plant
of large proportions is in prospect.
Oil Search Continues
While the gas producers are worry-
ing about what they are going to do
with their gas the operators are
continuing the search for the oil
pool. The huddle of derricks in the
center of the filed with three on the
outskirts and one three and a half
miles removed mark the producers.
From these a fringe of other der-
ricks circling the producing area as
proven to date mark the locations
of the pioneers who are searching for
the oil. Of the several hundred oil
men here there is not one who
doubts that some of the pioneers will
pop open the oil pool. They state
that 'the Impetus given the operators
by the mammoth gas- field' will be
strong enough to Justify the drilling
of a sufficient number of test holes
to discover the oil.
None have more than a half baked
opinion as to which direction from
the jnaln producing area the oil will
be found. Every direction has its
advocates while a majority believe
'that the oil will be found beneath
the gas saitd.
The wildcat tests are drilling from'
a point a mile and a half south of
Chickasha to the southern limits of
the county several miles south of
Rush Springs. Far removed is the
Bailey section in southeastern Grady
where the Josey Oil company Is oper-
ating. South of Alex are more loca-
tions while other drilling blocks are
being assembled.
