Oil leases signal sustained Sand Hills interest in Box Butte
Our editors note several new oil leases filed in Box Butte County amid a regional leasing boom in Dawes, Sheridan, Grant and Morrill counties. Geologists say the Platte River is not a barrier, and exploration could grow as deeper drilling aims to uncover commercial stocks. In 1959 the U S oil industry spent about 6.9 billion dollars on oil and gas, a figure near a record high as costs rise with deeper testing. Oil exploration remains risky but promising, with major companies paying 50 cents per acre for a decade of lease options.

Freeman Plans Wheat Stockpiles For Civil Defense
Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman proposes relocating wheat to 191 metropolitan target areas to provide four months of supply in case of nuclear attack. The plan shifts grain from the bread basket to regions lacking storage or growing capacity, storing three-fourths of a city’s wheat at least 25 miles from the center to reduce radiation exposure. Experts note flour stability and nutrition issues, suggesting storage as whole grain mush or unleavened bread as emergency options for survivors.
