NATURAL GAS
IS WASTED AT
TEXAS WELLS
AUSTIN, Texas, March 30 (by As
sociated Press).—One of the chief
causes for the great waste of natural
gas in Texas is the grossly inadequate
royalty usually paid for gas by the
operators, according to a statement by
the oil and gas division of the Texas
railroad commission.
"The land-owner iias so little at
stake that he rarely takes any action
to prevent the waste of his product,”
the statement said. "The operator
gets gas so cheap that he has prac
tically no financial loss, regardless
of the amount of wastage.
“If the land-owners would demand
an eighth royalty on gas as well as
oil, less gas would be wantonly wast
ed, and all concerned would get larger
returns on their investment.”
HIGH COST OF LABOR
CURTAILS ACREAGE
UNDER CULTIVATION
FORT WORTH, Texas, March £0
tby Associated Press).—Thousands ot
acres of fertile Texas land are not be
ing put under cultivation this year
because of the high cost of labor, aug
mented by the “enormous” wages paid
by oil companies in West Texas, ac
cording to D. E. Lyday, president oi
the Texas Farmers’ Union. Unsea
sonal rains have lessened this year’s
acreage, he says.

MICA INDUSTRY
IS STARTED IN
NEW MEXICO
SANTA FE, N. M„ March 30 (by As
sociated Press).—The commercial
mica industry which is just being
opened up in New Mexico promises,
it is said, to be one of the most ex
tensive of its kind in the United
States. For years this deposit, which
stretches over the eastern and south
ern portion of Rio Arriba county, and
extends into Santa Fe county, has lain
dormant, but it is now being developed
after tests have fully demonstrated
that the mica is equal in quality to
that produced anywhere else in the
country.
Ground mica is used in the manu
facture of paints, axle grease, roof
ing material, wall paper, tire powder,
and as an adulterant in rubber, as
well as for the manufacture of wash
ers. Sheet mica is extensively used
for stoves, electrical purposes, picture
slides and phonograph diaphragms.
