AMOCO PRODUCTION Company has spudded its first wildcat well in the Great Salt Lake, according to James W. Vanderbeek, Amoco vice president and Denver division manager. This is part of Amocos overall exploration effort to find new reserves, Vanderbeek said, - "reserves to help replace dwindling supplies available to the American consumer. The well - the No. 1 Indian Cove-Stat- e Unit is in the northern sector of the lake, near Promontory Point. It is in 27 feet of water and is located about seven miles from the nearest shore and 45 miles northwest of Salt Lake City. Parker Drilling Company, of Tulsa, Okla , is the drilling contractor. -- - PRIOR TO spudding, the rig - supported by a 90 to 180 foot barge - was towed to the drill site from Amocos shore base at Little Valley Harbor, 12 miles away. The wildcat is being drilled to a depth of about 10,000 feet and should take about two months. Vanderbeek said the cost will be about $5 5 million THE North AMOCO, American exploration and producing subsidiary of Standard Oil Company (Indiana), has permits to drill a total of six locations in the lake. Two of the sites, including the initial test, are in the northern portion. The other four sites are south of a railroad causeway that crosses the lake in an east-wedirection If and when we move our operation to the southern secVanderbeek said tion, well disassemble the I51, percent (more than the present doubling maximum rate), the added revenue would amount to only about lb percent Foundation AMOCO HAS about $200,000 worth of pollution-contro- l equipment and supplies on t hand for the operation.

AMOCO MADE application for the Great Salt Lake leases in 1972. The leases were granted by the State of Utah a later following year numerous hearings attended by government agencies, en- vironmentalists, industry, outdoorsmen, and other individual citizens. Amoco conducted an extensive seismic survey of the lake in 1973-7What drew Amoco to the Great Salt Lake? We feel that oil might exist under the lake because of an old oil seep at Rozel Point, said Edward E. Lafaye, Denver division exploration manager. But, whether its available in commercial quantities is another question - one that drilling should answer. -- FROM a geological point of view, Lafaye continued, the lake is the deepest tertiary basin in the Rockies. And Amoco has 609,000 acres under lease in the lake. The cost of this marine operation is about 300 percent more than it would be in exploring for similar features on dry land, but we think the prospect is worth the risk.

Brimhall, Principal THE ABILITY of chronic UV exposure to increase tumor susceptibility may be similar in mechanism to aging, where the ability to reject naturally arising tumors appears to decline, says Daynes It is possible to induce tumor susceptibility with either single large exposures of UV or multiple smaller exposures administered over several weeks. It appears that once the critical threshold dosage is reached, the animals do not recover their resistance even though further UV exposure is terminated AT THIS time we do not know the critical threshold of UV exposure in humans," The State Forester of the State of Utah and the Regional Forester of the Region, Forest Service, U S.

Cure for a week or so at a temperature just below comfortable room temperature. This allows wounds to heal over. During this curing period insure good air circulation around the tubers, and separate any damaged ones into a container for early kitchen use. WINTER STORAGE must be cool, just above freezing, and in the. dark, with good air circulation. Given these con- ditions, the tubers should store with minimum sprouting until planting time the next year. And you dont need to give them the sniff test TOMATOES: One of the most common complaints of backyard vegetable gardeners is that their tomatoes are ruined by a blackening of the blossom end. This condition is called blossom end rot. and as far as plant scientists have been able to ascertain, this condition is caused by uneven moisture conditions It often occurs, for example, when the plants are given a terrific start by the enthusiastic spring gardener, and then as enthusiasm wanes, the plants are left dry for a few days enough so that plant tissues begin to dry, beginning at the end farthest away from the root svstem the b!osv. the fruc THE COMMON occurrence of blossom end rot is a strong case for mulching tomatoes for the conservation of moisture Also, as early as you can get into the garden this spring, if you know where you plan to place your tomateies, begin digging kitchen vegetable waste, compost or otlKr irganic matter into the site for more efficent moisture retention e Many backyard gardeners made a practice of newsshredded planting wet, papers at the bottom of the hole where the tomato plant is to go, as another aid to the retention of moisture old-tim- who is remaining at Lackland for specialized training in the security police field, studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special instruction in human relations Completion of this training earned the individual credits towards an associate in science degree the Community College of the Air Force.
