GOVERNOR GREEN
UPHOLDS STATE
HOMESTEADERS
Clashes With Conservation
Board on Oil Lease Question. Wants Law.
,      Modified
GOLFERS SERVES
DINNER AT HOTEL
BY LOSERS
According to an: United Press dispatch an open clash of opinion between Governor Green and the State
Conservation Commission on the
question of sale of oil leases on
homesteaders' lands was reopened at
a commission meeting Friday morning
whe.n" , ih\e . members flatly turned
doyn ^'request made by the governor
that such sale be held up until the
next legislature can act.
The.lands in question are those to
which* the. surface rights are held by
homesteaders, but to which the state
has retained the mineral rights un-
■ider aivact of the 1909 legislature.
The governor's position has been
that it is unjust to permit oil companies to place wells on the lands under agreements which met the homesteader nothing.
- "I understand you are considering
the sale of more oil rights on homesteaders' lands," the governor's letter
read. I feel sure that when the legislature meets they will give the
bona fide homesteader some interest
in oil discovered on the place where
he lives. Because of this I think it
would be well to refrain from the sale
of this class of property."
The commission's reply, made
later in more lengthy statements by
George R. Hogarth, director of conservation, and Harry B. Whiteley,
chairman of the commission's oil
committee, was short. It regretted
the difference of opinion, but stated
the .belief of the commission that the
situation was t clouded by "unscrupulous private Interest" and that the
real homesteader who would suffer,
is far in the minority.
"Sympathy for the "poor homesteader," in my opinion is being used
as a blind to cover up the desires and
the activities of selfish private interests which, if given the opportunity,
will -make extraordianry " and well-
concealed efforts to knock out the
Wise law of 1909 which, for the last
20 years, has made it mandatory on
this department to reserve mineral
rights for the benefit of all the people
of thevstate," Hogarth told the commission.
"In this connection it should be
especially noted that of all the lands
entered as homesteads, our records
indicate that a scant 40 per cent
Jiave ever reached the tax rolls. Moreover, it should also be noted that of
the total number of acres on which
the state has disposed of the surface
rights and on which the state soil
holds the mineral rights, less than 15
per cent was deeded to homesteaders.
The balance of these lands, or 85 per
cent, is today in the hands of citizens
in all walks of life, and large acreages are held by summer resorts,
estates and wealthy sportsmen's
clubs.
"In niy judgment, the commission
should not be turned from its present
•well-considered policy because of a
clearly stimulated clamor wnieb -seeks
to pay on misguided sympathies, but
vsvhich in fact, represents selfish, and
unscrupulous private interests,"
Commissioner Whiteley's statement']
■•was similar to that of the director
;but he added that any delay by the^
.commission awaiting the "doubtful"
action of the next legislature, would
•seriously retard oil development in
the state and result in losse's to the
fctate.
"The oil game is in full swing;
these now non-revenue producing
lands can be leased and the state at
once being able to receive some return ib&sed on the bonuses received
and the annual rental which is 50
cents t>er acre per year," he said.
"Development and exploration can be
continued and if production is found
additional benefits will accrue from
the royalties.
"A wise legislature in 1909 enact:
ed a law by which this department
was forbidden to dispose of these
lands unless the mineral rights be reserved. It was plainly legislative
and public sentiment that the state
had heretofore been despoiled of its
resources in* earlier days and this was J
. to be prevented. That law has stood
unchallenged for 20 years until it appears that once more the state is possessed of resources that private interests seek for themselves.

2 GASSER COMES IN
WITH 1,000,000 FT.
Owners Will Continue Drilling to Make Test Well.
Increased Flow
Expected
The MeKay-Mercier number "2 on
section 6, Grant township, reached
the, Marshall   saud   late  Tuesday af-
ernoon, and when at about the same
depth of Number 1, there was.a showing of gas, and it increased in volume
mtil Wednesday morning, when the
.'.est was made and the flow measured
,000,000 cubit feet per day.
Experienced gas and oil operators
• ho visited the well were enthusias-
ic over the showing, and expressed
.he opinion that this well might increase its flow and become profitable
if developed as a gas well and Used
In connection with other wells.
However, it is the purpose of
Messrs     McKay    and     Mercier    to
horoughly exploit the field for oil,
aud they decided to continue drilling
on this location instead of capping it
for a gas well.
The showing of gas in Number 2
h/is greatly increaseu the interest in
the McKay field, and there have been
many visitors who have driven over
the snow Covered roads, and who stay
in the drill house for hours to watch
the operations.
Number 1 is still holding its great
pressure, and the gas is being utilized
for heating purposes at the house
near the wells and for forge and
heating stove at the Number 2 well.
One hundred amd twenty men and
boys attended the ..annual Father and
Son banquet ©f .the Congregational
church, which was served by the
Guild in the dining room, Wednesday
evening.
The ladies' corgan'ization has an enviable reputation for good cooking and
service when having charge of banquets, and :this ..dinner was no exception to the -rnile, *f or they were serving
their own busbands and sons.
John A. xveison, as chairman of the
committee, introduced W. S. McAllister as toastmaster, and this • well
known and respected Scotchman is
right at home as an after dinner
speaker and .proved to be a -very
) efficient toastmaster.
Superintendent of Schools, G. R.
Bogan, responded to the toast, "Our
Boys," and he pleaded for a closer
companionship between sons and
fathers. He said that although it-
was a well known fact that heredity
could not be changed, it is possible
to change environment, and every
boy should,be given the greatest possible chance to develop his character
under wholesome conditions.
Dexter Elden, .told the story of
Harbor Light, and how important it
was to the safety of the sliip to have
a pilot .steer the ship through the
channel to .the open sea. He likened
the pilot to dad and the ship to the
boy who .must take his own way
when he .reaches the age of manhood, but .who is fortunate if he has
a good -pilot through the years of
youth.
The musical numbers consisted of
a male trio, .composed of Messrs.
Boyd, .Elden and Fleming. A violin
solo by George Sherwood accompanied on the .piano by George Boyd, and
community .singing led by N. A. Elden.
Rev. Jff. B. Johnson delivered the
principal ..address. He said that
honestK, .moral xourage and faith was
essential ±o success in building the
proper kind ^of life and character, and
emphasized the fact that the. church
was the institution that was organized for the .purpose of- furnishing
highest ideals and assisting folks in
their worship -of God.

QUALITY MM DEMONSTRATION AT CLARE MARCH^
What .'child does not enjoy a glass
of clean wholesome milk? While
larger volumes of milk and milk products are being consumed in the
average home today than ever before,
Health authorities agree that more
should be consumed. The average
annual per capita consumption of
milk is 56" 1-2 gallons. This figure
should be raised to 90 gallons for ihe
sake "Of 'better health, according to
our best-authorities on tbe subject.
To ina&ase milk consumption two
steps are necessary; an educational
campaign: to acquaint the consumer
with these health facts and a campaign to 'inform, the producer that
greater milk consumption nepends on
their alillity to. produce milk with a
higher standard of quality. '
Most dairymen take a keen pride
in their enterprise and -strive to produce a clean wholesome product. The
problem of clean milk however, has
not been solved on a great many
farms. To help dairymen of Clare
and Isabella counties improve the
sanitation of their product, the Dairy,
Department and Agricultural Engineering -Department of Michigan
State College have,cooperated in en-
volving a quality milk- truck. This
truck and demonstration shows the
simple proceedures of 'clean milk production without large expenses, by an
average farmer. It is the aim of'the
meeting to show that certain clean
practices are more, essential than expensive equipment to produce clean
milk.
The meeting will be at the Detroit
Creamery plant in Clare Tuesday,

Crops Specialist From State College to be Speaker Tuesday
and Wednesday
Efficiency of production   has   long
been the gospel that has been preach
ed in the industrial world and' more
recently in   the   agricultural   realm.
Efficiency of production is just as important to profits in the agricultural
enterprlz.e as in any other.   To be an
efficient farmer,, one must grow the
varieties of crops that are suited to
his soil and climatic conditions; crops,
that  produce  the   highest  quality  as
well as the highest quantity of feed'
per acre are efficient crops.
-Clare County farmers will have anj
opportunity to acquaint themselves j
with what is new in the way of seed j
varitiea adapted to this section next
week. The production of new strains,
how, seed is 'certified, and- the results
of variety tests over the state, and
the advantages of using high quality
seed will be discussed at four meetings. Mr. George Wenuer, a crops
Specialists of Michigan State College
Will speak at these meetings. Mr.
Wenner has charge of the crop variety tests over the state and is in a
position to speak with authority on
the merits of the various seed strains.

citement in the Mt. Pleasant oil*'field,-,
early Tuesday night when it suddenly
increased  its  flow- .to  approximately,
eleven  million  cubic'feet with only
I three feet additional drilling into the.'

Tuesday arternoon,. -following, the
setting of a bradenhead, a steel lino
measurement showed a tfttal; /depth-'
of 1329 feet aud drilling was resumed.
At 6:00 p. m. that night afteR only
about three feet of drilling. the .well
suddenly went on a rampage" Which
resulted in the biggest gas flow yet
struck in the local field. Representatives of the Puiie* Oil company placed a gauge .on the well later in the
night and the result of their check,
it is said, showed a flow o'f approximately 10,000,000 cubic feet daily.
The gas produced is of an absolutely dry variety with no oil or even
water showing. Examination by local!
oil experts of "specimens of sandi
blown from the well, indicate an ideal
structure, it is said, for a big ga»
well.
According to J. E. Elliot, who was'
in charge when the increased flow
was struck, estimated that the dril£
is now about eight feet into the gas
pay sand. Drilling operations are at
•a standst-'ll as drillers await further'
instructions. Conjecture on the part-'
of local oil men as .to the probable
procedure to be taken points to two
possibilities—either the well will be
pinched in while further drilling on
the lease is done in an attempt to*
str'ke another flow or the present'
flow of gas in the Number 1 well will,
be mudded off and the well drilled on
to the Dundee.      .
Drillers say that the formation appears  to  be slightly higher than in

Xay'-Mercier gasser in   Clare  county
in that the later well might encounter
a   similar   increase   should    further
drilling be .done.   On tlie Clare" county
.veil no drilling was  done after the
first flow of gas was encountered.
Further. significance is attached to
the Broomfield well in that the Dow
Chemical company struck gas in the
Marshall sand at their brine well on
[the Murphy farm in Section 11, Deer-
field township. This well is 7 1*2.
