Oil And Crops In Texas This Week
In a talk with Bob Booth, an Oconee native visiting Athens, oil prospects in Texas are discussed. He notes oil yields vary by well, with high potential value and fortunes from oil, while advising cautious, science guided exploration across nearby counties. He references Comanche and Oconee counties, past bore attempts, and belief that oil may yet be found. The Texan cotton crop faces hard times despite early plantings and strong seed incentives, as boll weevil pressures persist and farmers adjust planting and timing to secure yields.
