Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Gross income for the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, was up 42.1%
over the same quarter in 1996.  Oil and gas income was up 44.4% due to increases
in prices and volumes whereas mineral lease income was down.

Agricultural income increased 26.7%.  Expenses were up 19.9% over the same
quarter in the prior year.  This was due primarily to a 184.4% increase in oil
and gas production costs and a 9.5% increase in general and administrative
expenses.

Management believes that the company's revenues will be sufficient to meet its
existing needs and the needs for its anticipated future operations.  Management
does not presently anticipate that the Company will incur material additional
liabilities in its future operations.  Long-term trends will depend upon the
ability of management to continue to find new production to replace the
depletion of the company's present minerals as well as increasing the Company's
income from timber and agriculture.
