J-ounty Indiana, near Upland, which is
directly within the oil producing bflt
and I wish to get in touch with an in

financing and putting aown an oil well.
An my opinion this is one of the most
exceptional opportunities and if worked
out would prove a big paying proposi

oest oil fields in Indiana. The 320 acres
are located on three sides of an 80 acres
that has produced for the past 32 years
and is still producing. The Standard

"Which is within 160 feet of one of the
wells of the Duckwai and Robinson
lease. They are now drilling within
40 feet of our ground and are expect
ing to strike oil any time. A well in
this locality is about 1000 feet to oil
sand? or 1050 finished. The cost of
sinking a well and getting it ready for
Pupming plant is $3251.00. The Stan

Produce
GOTTOIGWK
COSTS GIVEN IN
DETAILED EH
A detailed report on the cost of cot
ton production was issued yesterday
by H. C. Heard, county agricultural
agent, and chairman of the cost 01
production committee of the Maricopa
county farm bureau, and submitted to
Frank Parker, president of the organ
ization. The total cost, r.s shown in the
report, is 71 9-10 cents per pound of
lint. Based on this production cost is
the statement made at a meeting last
Saturday as the consesus of opinion of
all present that the minimum price of
lint cotton this season should be 90
cents a pound.
Mr. Frank H. Parker, Chairman,
Maricopa County Farm Bureau,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
The following Is th' report of the
special committee to investigate the
costs of growing cotton, appointed
early last week. We have in all cases
based our report on actual costs rather
than estimates, except in the picking
and ginning charges, which are based
on the estimate of one-half bale (900
pounds of seed cotton including 3 per
cent trash in seed) per acre, while the
present price of $20 per ton for seed
was allowed to partially offset the cost
of ginning. A picking price of four
cents per pound was assumed, that be
ing the present rate, though the last
picking is always higher. We have not
figured interest on the investment
when the farm is owned by the grower,
but have substituted an item of rent,
which is based on the actual cash rent
paid by those growers whose figures
we had at hand. It is thought that this
item fairly represents the costs of In
terest on the farm, depreciation of
buildings and fences, deplettion of fer
tility, which necessitates a cotton
farmer's rotation with les3 profitable
crops in the course of a few years,
taxes and other miscellaneous items
properly classed in this group. On the
two items at the end of the report,
namely superintendance 'and Interest
on growing fund we were instructed by
the general meeting to allow a charge
of $7.50 per acre for the former and to
allow interest on the growing fund for
a period of nine months at the rate of
8 per cent per annum. While much of
this fund will only be used two or
three months, much of it will be used
as long, sometimes as a year and a
half.
The report follows:
Preparation for seeding includ
ing stalk cutting, dragging,
plowing, discing, bordering, and
everything prior to seeding ex
cept irrigation $14.33

To offset these costs and to leave
the grower a reasonable profit there
are two sources of income from sale
of cotton seed and lint. Assuming the
present price of seed at $20 per ton,
with a 3 per cent reduction for trflsTi.
the income from seed would be $6,305
per acre. In case it is desired to use
this income as an item reducing the
cost of growing the lint there will be
a reduction of 2.5 cents per pound lint,
which will leave as the smallest legit
imate cost of growfng cotton as indi
cated by our survey 69.4 cents per
pound of lint.
Further figures that come in from
time to time will bemused as a check on
the accuracy of the figures In this es
timate, though present indications lead
us to believe this figure to be conser
vatively arrived at and lower rather
than above average
