Abstract

The article reports that the Florida government will provide Humble Oil Co. with a 50-thousand-U.S.-dollar reward and free oil leases for discovering a commercial oil well in the state in 1944. Humble plans to donate the cash reward to the Florida State College for Women and the state university for scholarship funds. The article also offers information on a conference that was conducted by Miami oil engineer William F. Blanchard in 1934 wherein he asked oil company representatives to gather data on the state's oil prospects.
