C. L. Williams, left, drilling foreman for feulf Oil; Leonard L. Schiller, tool pusher for Noble Drilling, and John Briese, driller, look on as John Loos of Christensen Diamond Bit Company studies the log. The bit set a record of 2,688 feet in 399 hours, for a penetration rate of 6.73 feet per hour. ANOTHER RECORD Record set for endurance of diamond bit Another field record for endurance, in diamond bit drilling in the greater field, was set at 9 a.m. Sunday morning, as a Carbonado bit by Christensen completed a hole to 13,100 feet, after drilling a total of 2,688 feet in 399 hours. The record was set on the Noble Drilling Company rig No. 1101, two miles northwest of Roosevelt, on the Freston-Statlease, drilling for Gulf Oil Company. This is the second time this same rig has held the endurance record. Crews set the endurance record on this rig about 18 months ago, and that mark stood for nearly a year. Then it was bettered twice in less than 10 days. The new mark is again expected to stand for some time. The bit, of the MD-33- 1 series, accomplished a penetration rate of 6.73 feet per hour during the run. It was operated with a bit weight of 25,000 lbs., at a speed of 105 RPM. Fluid across the e the bit was held at 160 gallons per minute. Stabilization included a two foot blade t blade 12 one foot above the bit, a foot above the first, and a third blade up teh stem 30 more feet. C. L. Williams, drilling foreman for Gulf Oil, states that a great deal of the credit for the record run must go to the drilling crews on the rig. He stated that it was a good hole, with everything going smoothly. Leonard L. Schiller is tool pusher for Noble, and Edgar Mogen, Earl Thompson and John Briese are the drillers. Assistant drilling superintendent is Buck Watsix-foo- son. The well was spudded Feb. 27, 1974, and completed April 21. The Carbonado diamond bit was set with approximately 385 karats of diamonds of the No. 2 and 3 size. The diamonds are set in a carbide matrix, and after the run a great deal of the diamonds are reclaimed and reused. The bit used to make the record run showed less than average wear. Erosion across the face was minimal, with few diamonds dislodged. Side wear on the bit was also less than average, and the bit was still in guage. reinstated for REAP The total authorized funding level of Assistance Program (REAP), the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced. $140 million of the $225.5 million has been initially allocated to the states when the program was announced in the fall of 1972. Kenneth E. Frick, Administrator of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), the agency that administers the program, said the total funding will be allocated to the states according to conservation needs. The 1973 REAP was terminated in December 1972. It was reinstated in March 1974, following a U. S. District court decision reversing the termination action and extending the 1973 program through December 31, 1974. Farmers Can Apply Under the extended REAP, farmers e assiscan apply for federal tance for soil and water conservation and environmental protection measures needed on their farms. REAP will continue to be funded and administered by ASCS, along with the recently announced 1974 Rural Environmental Conservation Program (RECP). RECP carries forward some features of REAP, but was designed to strengthen conservation and environmental protection measures. The newer program also has provisions for development, management and protection of private forest lands. Participation in REAP and RECP is open to all eligible farmers, regardless of race, religion, color, sex, or national origin. In addition to ASCS, other USDA cost-shar- 298-354- agencies involved in the operation of REAP and RECEP are the Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service and the Extension Service. SCS Will Provide Services The Soil Conservation Service will provide technical assistance, advice, and recommendations on policies for soil and water conservation practices including the conservation planning needed for e long-teragreements. The Forest Service will provide advice and recommendations on policies for all aspects of forestry practices and technical service, including planning assistance to the applicant. cost-shar- Duchesne lists names oi Girl Staters Duchesne American Legion Unit 022 have released names of the girls to attend Girls State to be held the first week in June.

Floating the river has thus been restricted. These closures were made because of wet and muddy road conditions and for wildlife protection. Because of wet weather, the road to Little Hole has become impassible due to mud. To protect the road from rutting caused by vehicles and accelerated erosion, it has been closed to all traffic. With this road closed raft pick up at Little Hole is not possible, therefore the Spillway launching ramp has also been closed. Mary Barthwick Debbie Davis Jeanie Lisonbee Beverly Bailey workers up in numbers, wages Non-far- m The non agricultural labor force in Duchesne county increased 36.5 per cent in 1973 over 1972 according to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) of the University of Utah. The increase was the second largest in Utah. Uintah county's increase was 4.6 per cent. The average monthly wage of workers was also up. The BEBR in its March 1974 issue of the Utah Economic and Business Review said the average increase in the state was 5.6 per cent. Workers up The 1973 figure of an estimated 3,560 workers out of 4,950 in the labor force is up considerably over the 1970 figure. The 1973 per centage of 72 per cent employed compares with 55 per cent (1,610 out of 2,880 workers) in 1970. The major cause of the increase in labor has been the oil boom. There were, in fact, more labors in 1973 than total labor force in 1970. Only Emery County, with a 39.8 per cent increase, topped the Duchesne figures. Uintah Slower Rise Uintah county which has a more established oil industry only increased its labor force by 4.6 per cent, but that segment of the workers makes up almost 79 per cent of the labor force. 4,870 workers of the estimated 6,170 were The BEBR defines the labor force as the number of persons looking for a job or actually working. Eight counties in 1973 emsuffered a drop in ployment. Wasatch, Daggett, and Grand counties in eastern Utah were among those eight The average monthly wage in dollars was $658 in Duchesne and $619 in Uintah. The state average was other counties $622. Comparing Duchesne was third highest and Uintah was fifth. The reason Uintah was fifth in wages average monthly and still below the state average was that Salt Lake County with more than 40 per cent of the state's population averaged $615 per month. In 1970 Duchesne was seventeenth in monthly wages, Uintah was sixteenth. At that time the average employee in Duchesne made $460 and in Uintah $482 monthly. Dr. Danniel S.
