plantings to about 10,000.
.Although recently liberated trout
are not desirable for eating, eAreu

soft food given them in rearing ponds,
regular plantings in the streams of
the county have kept our trout in

Reports cabled back to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture from Herbert Hoover, investigating famine conditions in Europe, sIioav that the countries visited so far (France, Italy,
French North Africa, SAvitzerland,
Czechoslovakia, Poland and Finland)
are enduring difficult but not intolerable food conditions, provided that
present rations can be maintained.
The critical urgency of the food
needs of Europe cannot be over-emphasized, Hoover reported, and unless
the program of the Famine Relief
Committej in the United States can be
realized, Avlde-spread starvation during
the next three lppnths is inevitable.
The American people can aA'ert this
threat of Avide-spread starvation by
saving and shipping more food.
Keeping in mind that in America
the average daily calorie consumption
per persoi. is about 3,400, here ar? the
per capita calorie averages for the
countries visited by Mr. Hoover:
France—1,930
French North Africa—1,500
Italy—1,500
Poland—1,700
Czechoslovakia—2,100
Finland—1,700
SAvitzerland—2,375
These figures are based on the past
few months; rations in most of these
countries have been, or are to be reduced because of dwindling supplies.
Supplies of cereals on hand and in
sight will last Czechoslovakia until
about mid-May. New crop supplies
Avill not be available until mid-August.
Bread ration for period beginning in
April has been reduced 50 grams daily.
Food situation in Poland is very unsatisfactory. The disrupting effects of
war are more serious in Poland than
any country so far visited by Hoover.
Short potato crop makes cereal requirements more urgent. Ration is
being reduced from 300 grams to 225
grams per day and heavy imports during next four months will be required
to meet even this reduced ration.
Finland will need imports of both
cereals and fats to maintain current
rations until cereal crops are available about October 15. Effects of lim-
iited rations are showing up, particularly among children.
In all countries, effects of undernourishment are particularly tragic
among children. In' one country infant mortality is 25 percent. In all of
them tuberculosis is spreading rapidly
among adults and children.
Hungev, disease, infant mortality—
these are the s^uff of Avhich today's reports from overseas are made. These
are not the stuff on which we hope to
build a lasting peace! Save a little-
Help a lot.
GREAT NATURAL
GAS DISCOVERY
IN -CLARE. COUNTY
Gas Capacity of Freer Well
25-,000,000 Cubic   *
Feet Daily
 .      *
Michigan newspapers published first
page neAvs stories Monday of the discovery in Clare county of what promises to be the most important; natural
gas development in the state in many
years.
Estimated gas capacity is 25,000,000
cubic feet daily.
Pure Oil Co. revealed Monday the
discovery of what gives promise of becoming an important deep formation
distillate-gas producing field. The
company said it Avill be tAvo or three
Aveeks before value of the test, in
Clare county, three and a half miles
northwest of Lake Station, can be adequately determined.
] Pure Oil geologists reported the test
appears to have penetrated the thickest section of distillate bearing ore yet
found in Michigan. Drilling is continuing. Monday the test Avas beloAV 5,100
feet.
The well, the No. 1 Freer in section
IS, Garfield township, Clare county, is
about eight miles from both the Cold-
water and Fork oil fields.
Until Ihe drilling indicates tlie distillate-bearing strata is defined, com«
pany officials emphasized they will
have no definite knoAvledge as to the
Avell's possibilities. They were opto-
mistic, however, that an important
new field that will stimulate deep
drilling in Michigan is in the making.
The only actual figures the company
has are at a depth of 5,037 feet at
which the strata was reached an estimate of eight to 10 million cubic feet
of gas and 100 barrels of distillate per
day was made. It is reasonable to*'assume, the company said, that the continued drilling has substantially" inheres sed those figures.
The Avildcat was started last September as an oil test. In December,
using cable tools, the Dundee formation was reached at 3,858 feet. Showing no oil at that depth, it was decided to continue drilling. Winter cofl-
dition.ij.delayed^the test- A fevf-weeks
ago the"*pay strata was reached and
the gas pressure made continued use
of cable tools impractical. A rotary
was installed, the hole cemented and
rotary reaming begun on April 2. The
level of 5,037 feet was reached April
11.
