they have attacked the wheat. It is said
it is impossible to save the corn after
they have onee invaded a field, but it is
possible to stop the bugs to a certain
extent., it is said, by cutting down a f* w

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1921.
MID-CONTINENT
FIELD INACTIVE j
WITH OIL AT $1
Oklahoma Industry Hasn’t
Been So Stagnant in
Twenty Years.
MONEY SCARCE ARTICLE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.. July s.—To
: say that thf Independent wing of the oil
! industry of the Mid-Continent district is
shot to pieces, expresses the situation
mildly and prosaically. Activity has not
been at so low a stage In twenty ypars.
It Is next to Impossible for operators to
get money. A majority of them need it
I only to pay debts and weather the storm,
for it would be foo’hardly to drill wells
I In this period of overproduction and low
! prices.
Critical phases of the situation are in
• tenslfied by high prices for labor and
material. Otherwise, oil of the Mid-Con
tinent grade could be produced at a profit
at a market price of $1 a barrel. It was
once produced at a profit for 50 cents a
barrel. Representative operators who nt
i tended the recent sale of Osage oil leases
at Pawhuska say oil cannot today be
produced profitably at $1.75 a barrel,
and the present price is $1 a barret.
In the matter of labor and material
coats the oil industry ts trailing along
with many others. It is undergoing the
same material and fundamental read
justments. It is affected by the same
conditions of finance, the same unsettled
state of foreign credits. It is swaying
between divergent opinions and two op
posing contests df propaganda. It is
baffled by timidity and fenr. Psy
chology is against it Talk of hard times
has permeated it and its stock of hope
is like so many empty storage tanks.
EXPONENTS OF DEPRESSION
FILL OIL CENTERS,
All oil centers of the Southwest—
among them Tulsa, Oklahoma City,
Okmulgee, Muskogee, Fort Worth,
Dallas and Wichita Falls —are, so far
as the industry Is concerned, ex
ponents of depression and gloom. They
are filled with Idle operators, lease brok
ers and promoters, and a great majority
of these are without money or credit.
Credit or extension of credit they need
above all things else they must sacrifice
their properties and leave the business
This thousands of them are doing
already.
The low market price of crude oil is
causing a loss of millions of dollars a
day to operators and royalty owners.
The Oklahoma production for two years
and more has been around 300,01)0 barrels
dally. This now brings $300,000, where
as four months ago It brought more than
ILOOO.OOO. This means a loss of ovr
$20,050,000 a mouth. Not all of this la
total loss, of course, for considerable of
the oil Is produced by big concerns that
can run the product to storage and hold
It there until the return of high prices.
But even theso concerns must suffer a
lvS.
A lack of demand for fuel oil and
kerosene Is one of the chief cause a fr
the low price of crude Some Mid-
Contlnont refiners have closed down be
cause of heavy accumulations of fuel
oil aod kerosenae, having no place to
store them nor funds from gasoline
profits to Invest in storage. Reasonable
profits on gasoline have had to carry the
load of no profits on the other prod acts.
ONE CONCERN FAILS UNDER
IDEAL CONDITIONS.
What refiners have termed the ideal
situation was enjoyed under normal con
ditions by one Western Oklahoma retln
lng concern. It produced its own oil
to the amount of the refinery capacity,
transported the oil to the refinery
through Its own pipe lines and sold Its
products through Its own marketing
machinery. It wn* out of debt. Yet. be
cause of finding no profitable market for
Its fuel oil and kerosense. this concern
was compelled to suspend operations.
Independents who entered the oil bnsi
neau in the belief that the crude oil sup
ply of the country was very limited and
that demand tor its products would con
iinuye to Increase, were slow to be tm
presaed with warnings that came from
money renters of the East a few months
ago. They neglected and refused to Join
In any effort to reudee the output of
crude, believing that one or two small
cuts in crude prices would cauae the re
quired readjustment of conditions. But
they discovered before long that the East
ern propaganda contained some sound,
sensible business advice and the fore
sighted among them set about retrench
ment.
WILDCATTERS SI.OW
TO HEED WARNINGS.
■ Wildcatters, particularly those who
were about developing field extensions,
were slower still to lieed the warning,
and they brought In well after well, some
of them making up In the thousands of
barrels daily, and this necessarily forced
continuation of offset drilling campaigns,
the net result being that Oklahoma pro
duetton was materially Increased Just at
the time when the principles of conser
ration and economy should have dictated
a material decrease.
Independents were not alone respon
sible for this. Standard Oil concerns in
several fields apparently made no move
to curtail drilling When Independents
obtained a hearing before the corporation
commission, asking an official Inhibition
against unnecessary drilling, they were
opposed by companies with Standard Oil
connections The Independents secured
the order, the legality of which was seri
ously questioned by lawyers on both
sides of the controversy and doubtless by
members of tbe commission themselves,

after a mediation committee composd of
representative oil men bad been agreed
upon This order applied only to tho
Hewitt field, where production was
heavily increasing, and the committee ap
pears to have obtained the desired result
In limltfng operations of both Standard
and independent interests.
Meantime cuts in crude prices contin
ued, until every producer in the Indus
try was awakened to the positive neces
sity of retrenchment. The lesson of the
period had sunk deep. Opponents of cur
tailment quit drilling of their own ac
cord. Then scuttling to safety began.
But there was not a haven for every
man. Creditors were Insistent on collec
tions. Interest on bonds was past due
and unpaid.
MEANTIME FUEL OIL
STAGN ATIO N CON TIXU ED.
Low prices of crude did not operate
to the benefit of the refiner, for the fuel
oil stagnation still continued. Premi
ums on crude virtually were done away
with and refiners in Oklahoma were
favorably affected by a freight rate re
duction ordered by the corporation com
mission. Nearly 50 per cent of Mld-Con
slnunt refineries are inoperative. Some
of these had contracts that would have
enabled then to resume operations, but
uncertainty of conditions did not war
rant resumption.
Doubtless there already has set In an
Increased demand for fuel oil. On the
surface this is not manifest It Is in
some measure substantiated by a state
ment of a refiner recently that he has
contracted the sale for twelve months
of all hi* fuel oil output at $1 a barrel.
He says both his plants will continue
to operate on a normal basis by virtue
of this contract. Fuel oil lately has sold
for 44 cents a barrel In carlots from Ok
lahoma refineries A year ago it sold
for $2 t!J a barrel. Kerosene has gone
begging at 2 cents a gallon.
MANY AT MERCY
Or I .AND OWNERS.
Not a few operators have been at the
mercy of land owners from whom they
obtained leases. Virtually all lease con
tracts provide specified dates for begin
ning operations or completing wells, for
feitures ensuing where contracts are un
fulfilled. Not many of them ar-’ In posl
tion to do what th<-v might have done
twelve months ago. that is, pay the land
owner a substantial bonus for a renewa
of the lease.
The Department of the Interior and
the commissioners of the Oklahoma land
office have been lenient In the construc
tion of drilling contracts nnd extensions
In good faith have not been difficult to
procure. The State has made a number
of such extensions and it is willing to
modify its rules with reference to offset
drilling whenever occasion arises. if
this Is the policy of the Department of
the Interior, particularly with reference
to teases in Osnge County, doubtless de
velopinert of new pools will be delayed.
There is no doubt public sentiment de
mands vorv material restrictions In the
Osage country. Big operators recently
paid enormous prices for lenses in the
western part of the county, some of them
in the belief that one of the best pools
of America exists there. To develop it
at this time, Independents say. would be
the greatest of all blows to the Industry.
STORAGE TANKS
BEING BUILT.
Construction of storage tanks is under
way in nearly all fields. Most of these
are for the larger concerns, and this
movement is the basis of a forecast that
the period of low crude prices may con
tinue for several months. All guesses
lately as to the amount of empty storage
in Oklahoma appear to have been founded
on presumption solely, and in this regard
again the operator not in the confidence
of the big interests is fed today on one
sort of propaganda and tomorrow on an
other sort. Forecasters never were so
few as they are today.
It is said that some important con
tracts touching some phase or other of
the industry are scheduled to become
effective about Aug. 1, and this has
provoked a few independents to express
a weak and timid hope that this means
something, just something, one knows
not what. Some others. less timid,
assort that the upward trend of crude
prices and of conditions generally in the
Industry wi''. be visible within ninety
days from the first of July. Others
are just as positive in their conclusions
that the bottom has not been readied.
“We haven’t met hard times yet,” they
say. “The bottom has not nearly been
reached. We won't recover in three
years.”
One of the most remarkable phases
of the situation is the small number of
sales of producing properties. Operators
never before hung on so tenaciously or
stood off their creditors or bondholders
more manfully. The number of con
solidations and absorptions in Oklahoma
has been remarkably small.
But one thing is certain: thousands
of men in the oil business are going to
look for other lines of business. They
will not take chances on a repetition of
this intolerable thing. The Industry will
be rid of mneh incompetence also, and of
crooked promoters, but the good and the
competent must suffer with them.

CITY IS SOUGHT
American at Work in Rome
Upon Plans for World
Clearing House.
ROME, Jnly 5. —New Jersey, Hawaii,
Cuba, the environs of Paris, the Riviera,
Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Greece
have been proposed as sites for an In
ternational city, upon the plans of which
Hendrik Anderson, an American, now re
siding In Rome, has been collaborating
for the better part of the last eighteen
years. Such a city, according to Mr.
Anderson's projects, would not be the
adaption to international purposes of a
town already existing, but would be built
new and so would contain only those
edifices necessary for its alms and main
tenance.
There would be, among other build
ings, an International court of Justice,
which Mr. Anderson willingly concedes
would not do away with war, bnt would
at least lessen the possibility of it, and
which would be attended by permanent
representatives from all nations. There
would also be an International bank, an
International medical congress, which
would always be In session, and through
which all new discoveries in medicine,
hygiene, and sanitation would at once
be disseminated throughout the world;
an international press building, and an
International chamber of commerce and
labor. Each government would likewise
have its own building, which would offer
to representatives of tbe other nations
the opportunity of examining all the
works of progress made by each coun
try. The city would then be an Inter
national clearing house of Information,
