Baird, a Marshall native and millionaire operator, told the American Legion of Oil Men that Louisiana will have more real oil men operating in 1920 and 1921 than any other state, surpassing Texas. He recalled pioneering in the 1910s with rotary drilling, praised safety gains, and named Shreveport as his preferred base while noting his sale of the Homer pool lease for 2.6 million dollars.
