It will be seen from the above
that while California ranked
third in production in 1902 she
moved to first place in 1903, while
Texas dropped from second to
third place in the same time.
Ohio, which held first place IN
1902, dropped to second during
the past year. Kansas has moved
up from eighth to tenth place,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, In
diana and New York have occu-
pied the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh places for two years past:
Ohio's production for 1903
was composed of l4,S93,S53 bar
rels of Lima oil from the North
western section of the State and
5,5S5,S5S barrels of Pennsylvania,
or Appalachian, oil that was
produced in the Eastern and
Southeastern portions. In add
ton. 375 barrels Of lubricatlng
oil was produced which brought
$3.50 per barrel.
The United States has made
wonderful strides in the produc-
ton of cru,le petroleum within
the past four years. In 1900 the
total WELD was $685., 7O4 barrels
and 57,991.924 barrels came from
the five States of New York,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio and Indiana, leaving $780,
$50 barrels for the rest OF the
country. California in 1900 pro-
duced 4,099,4S4 barrels. OF the
total output nearly 92fo came
from the Eastern oil fields and
only a little over SO was pro-
duced in the West and South
west. In 1903 of the total pro-
duction of over 100,000,0OO bar-
rels 55.0s4.226 barrels, or about
$50, was produced N The FIVE
principal Eastern States, while
the remaining 45,377,111 barrels,
or 49,. came almost entirely
from States beyond the Missis-
sippi and from districts that a
