New Big Oil Strikes on Coast Predicted WASHINGTON. July 11—The possible location of valuable new oil fi;lds in California is reported by W. A. English in a bulletin made public by the Cnited States geological survey. Explorations just made lead to the belief of new'possibilities of oil lands in parte of the State, particularly northwestern Kern County and the San Joaquin Valley. The area considered amounts to about five hundred square miles and includes the Lost Hills, North Belridge and North McKittrick front oil fields and interven- | Ing territory. "Careful consideration of the evidence ; presented, supplemented by a consider- ; ation of the stratigraphy, appear to Jus- I tlfy the conclusion that there may be j valuable undiscovered oil fields in this region.” said the report. Several areas in which oil Is possible ■ *’■*' specifically pointed out in a special j •'Most of these areas lie In the alluvium covered San Joaquin Valley,” the 1 report continued, “where the chance of; finding new oil fields is much better than in the hills, even though the struc- j ture in the upland areas is more perfectly known.” Highest Average on Wheat Is 23 Bushels Special to The Times.

CITY NURSERY IS FAIRYLAND VIEWED BY FEW Lies Nestled in White River Valley Hidden From Highways. POSSESSION IS VALUABLE BY TOLXEY B. FOWLER. A story of how man built a fairyland and then went away and forgot It—almost, is woven into the history of the nursery of the city park department. Nestled in the White River valley between Thirtieth and Thirty-Eighth streets, west of the stream the nursery lies, a beauty spot the like of which no other city in the United States can offer, because no other municipality has so large a plant for the propagation of trees, shrubs and hardy flowers. Few people, apparently, know of the existence or this magnificent place for the numbers which come tb enjoy it each week can be counted la dozens, nursery officials say. For thirteen years the city has developed its tree plant from a little threeacre plot until today there are sixty acres, containing 135.000 trees, ranging all the way from twigs to six Inches in diameter in size, under cultivation. There also may be found lOO.OiX) shrubs, 25,000 perennials and between 6,000 and 7,IKK) vines. Seventy-two acres of land in and adjoining the nursery is planted in hay and grain. The city runs a farm off of which it feeds the draft animals In the park department. NURSERY HIDDEN FROM VIEW. The existence of the nursery probably is not generally known because most ot it is so successfully hidden from the pub-, lie view. One patch, containing 5.000 evergreens, lies just north of the boulevard which runs along the north end ot the Riverside golf course. The splendor of the thousands of other trees, shrubs and plants is lost upon those who do not seek it out because the big beds are located north of Crooked Creek and are screened by the large trees along the stream bed, as well as by the plantation of trees and shrubs in front of the nursery and park barns and storehouse situated along the north side of the boulevard. Those who would enjoy the long vistas, the cool lanes and the surprising little grottos to be found in the big nursery must seek out the Utile black road which leaves the boulevard between a park barn and the nursery office building Following this route across a rustic bridge, built by nursery bands over Crooked Cre*-k, eventually leads one to a full view of part of the nursery. The road leads on for half a mile or so until it finally reaches the State fish hatch<Yy. Dozens of Inviting lanes, penetrating to delightful nooks in the out-of-the way corners of the nursery, branch off of the road. STOCK ARRANGED IN ORDERLY BEDS. All of the stock is arranged in orderly beds. In some Instances the beds have been arranged with a view toward obtaining a particular effect. To form a suitable background for some of the long views the distant hills along the edge of the city's property, have been planted with evergreens. A bit of forest, as natural as that through which the Indian used to roam, has been obtained in the <eter of the plant by permitting the original trees to remain and planting a thick undergrowth. The effect of this undergrowth is unusual for this section of the country, a sprinkling of pretty little white birches relieving the monotony of green of other tsees and evergreens. Twenty-five families of trees and a number of varieties of each are grown In the nursery. For instance there are four kinds of maples, seven kinds of oaks, two of sycamores, three walnuts, fifteen willows and seven ash. The linn, mulberries, sweet gum, and tulip poplars are among the unusual families represented. CITY PROFITS BY GROWING TREES. H. H. Tall, city horticulturist, estimates that the stock In the nursery today is worth uppproximately $135,000. James H. Lowry, superintendent of parks, has figured that the city has crown between $500,000 and $600,000 worth of trees, shrubs and hardy flowers since the plant was started. The stock is transplanted in the city parks, playgrounds, along boulevards and around public buildings. A good start toward planting the public lawns spaces in all streets where the proposed city forestry department to be established coaid be had out of the trees now sufficiently grown. To plant the entire city, however, it probably would be necessary to enlarge the fcursery, Mr. Tall believes. Fifty varieties are found in the shrub beds and thirty families and 100 varieties among the perennials. One long bed contains 4,000 peony Lushes. About 70,000 evergreens are developing at various stages. The nursery grows practically everything from seed so the growth may be traced from the very beginning. Experiments to get new varieties and those which thrive best in Indianapolis constantly are under way. THIRTY ACRES GROWS CROPS. Thirty of the seventy-two acres nsed for the city farm are planted in corn, twenty In hay and twenty-two in oats. Practically all of the park stock will fco fed from this next winter. John F. Brasier is in general charge of the nursery under Mr. Tall, whose duties take In the care of nature's growing things on ail park and public property. Andrew Miller is foreman of the

Pla-.s for better fire protection for the nurs. r\ buildings are to be carried out soon, according to Mr. Tall. A fire company In West Thirtieth street can reach the nursery in from three to four minutes with its new motor pumper. A spur is to be built off of the nursery road leading to the bank of Crooked Creek so that the pumper may be stationed so as to get water out of the stream. This place is only a few hundred feet from :he buildings and would be an ideal source of water supply, officials say.

TIMES NEWSIES SPEND DAY HERE Forty Out-of-Town Carriers Enjoy Pleasure Parks. After spending a memorable oay filled with thrills and cat*, forty youngsters, out-of-town agents of the Daily Times, returned to their home towns nlgljt tired, happy and anxious to do It all over again. The agents, as guests of tho Times, took in everything at Riverside park, thankt to the hospitality of A. W. Coulter, manager of the Riverside Amusement Company, who saw to it that the entire amusement facilities of his plant were thrown-wide open to the visitors. They huddled together in the dark passages of the Old Mill, squealed with terrorized delight as they took the big drops on the Thriller, rode themselves dizzy on the merrv-go-round and giant swing, staged tbriiling contests ou the Derby Racer, got all messed up on the Whip and almost threw their young arms away trying to hit the bull's eyes on the Pig Slide and make the little pigs shoot the chutes. After having worn themselves to a frazzle at Coulter's expense they were taken to Broad Ripple Park, where Manager Barnes told them to take the swimming pool and go as far ns they liked with it. For an hour or more the water In the pool suffered terrible punishment In the party were three girls, and It was a very noticeable fact that no boy in all the crowd had a better time than did the three members tho alleged weaker sex. Lunch was served at noon to the party and round trip transportation from their homes to Indianapolis was furnished by the Times.
