TRENTON LIMESTONE in Kent County, Ontario As further proof of the existence of a major gas and oil field in South- western Ontario, Rowe-Bruette No. 4 Well, 12 -miles s. w. of Chatham, was completed last 'week to a depth of 3.319 feet, or 441 feet in the Trenton foramtion. The Well developed a potential open flow of aroued 4,000,000 Cru. feet daily from 2975 to 3205 feet with only a few thin impervious layers and a good show of 0'IL, which was sprayed over the surrounding field, This Well will be connected to the main pipe line of the Southern On- tario Gas Co. this week, to whom the Gas is on contract for the whole life of the Well, and the Oil will be sold to the Imperial 011 Co. The top of the Trenton was reach- ed at 2300 feet below sea level, and the Shale break at 8293 feet, or 87 feet lower than Rowe-Bruette No. 3. This, together with the information obtained fa[oin former Wells in „this area, definitely locates the easterly extension of the faulted zone and Prairie No. 7 Well has been located for drilling, 1700 feet easterly along this fractured area and drilling will be proceeded with.

It was for the Lions, their regular meeting night and for the young farmers, members of - the Clinton Grain Club, their close up banquet of the year: The Clinton Grain Club is sponsored through the Department of Agriculture by the local Lions Club, whose committee of Frank Fingland, Nick White, Fred Ford' and Chas, Worrell assisted by the. Agri- cultural gri-cultu al representatives Ian McLeod and J. Shearer. At the start of the singing it was interesting to note that the Ander farmers are better singers than the Lions. Lion Nick White introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Alex. Stewart a1 Ailsa •Craig;- member of the Canadian Seed Association, and in doing so also thanked the junior farmers who participated in the seed barley contest for their unswerving co-operation during the year. Mr. Stewart was a very interesting speaker. The boys Were considerably impressed as he told of the great responsibility boys have now, ' and told then that it was very important that Canadian boys keep the fields clean, the seed clean and themselves clean, physically and ,,mentally. He said that competitions of this kind are wonderful things and made some interesting remarks about the speed in which it was possible to increase the amount of seed. This spring the Lions Club passed out 30 bushel of 0.A.C. seed barley to the boys. At the rate of 35 bushel to the acre, the yield this year would be enough to sow twenty acres in 1939 giving a yield of '7000 bushels of good bar- ley next. fall. In commenting on the prize list Mr. Stewart commended the Lions on their generosity in provid- ing a good list of prizes, stating that first prize in Clinton this year is bigger than in theChicago Fair. In closing Mr. Stewart remarked that Good Farming washaving good live- stock, good seed and good fences and buildings and pointed out that farm- ing is the most pleasant of jobs if done thoroughly.
