A six-foot earthen wall has been constructed between the burning well and the rig over the directional hole."

Work began at sunup and ccontinued until dusk when the farm was dedicated to Oklahoma A&M college, Stillwater, to be used as an experiment station. Morning ceremonies were highlighted by the rerun - a symbolic enactment of the run of '89 designed to draw attention to new emphasis to be placed on the soil's place in the state's economy. Army tanks, infantrymen, horsemen and carriages made the symbolic dash across the dry, dusty farm. Like the state's wheat farms the land was in need of rain. terracing and planting operations were marked by clouds of dust whipped by a strong wind. But farmers and city residents alike strod back and forth between the 16 seperate projects that were under way. Stars in the show of mechanized strength were the operators of the heavy earth movers."
