WEST VIRGINIA
INCREASES ITS
0ILPRODUGTION
Is Entitled to Fifty Delegates to
the International Sunday
School Convention.

WASHINGTON, June 1S..-The
value of the petroleum produced in
West Virginia in the year 1918 was
close to $29, 100000, which was by
far the greatest value for oil produced
in the state in any year since oil was
discovered and an increase of almost
SO per cent over 1912. This is ac-
counted for largely by the high price
OF oil which prevailed during 1913,
for the production decreased slightly
in quantity from 1912. These figures
were given out TO-DAY by the Geologi-
cal Survey. The actual figures for
the state for 1913 are: production
1,567,299 barrels, valued at $780,
82S,814; compared with the follow
ing figures for 1912: production
production 12,12S,962 barrels, valued
at $19,927,721. The increase in the
value of the production amounts to
44.67 per cent, while the decrease in
production from 1912 was 4.63 per
cent.
Price Higher.
The average price of oil for 1913
was $2.49 per barrel, compared with
the average price Of $1.64 for 1912.
With the price Of oil down far be-
low what 1t has been for some time
and production declining also the out
look for West Virginia's oil produc-
ton for 1914 is not SO good as it was
in 1913.
Petroleum is produced in rs coun-
ties of West Virginia, says a report of
the Geological Survey, made public to
day, from Harrison county on the

developed by DR.. l. c. White, state
geologist, possesses ideal structure
for the storage of oil over so large an
area that many pools have been de-

day of initial production is still. fire.
cuent. !. .psnsFE
Conditions are still favorable in
the state for the development of new
prolific pools that would bring the to-
tai yields of the state beyond the max
mum. In 1912, for example, the de-
yelopment OF the Blue Creek pool in
kanawha county. increased the total
production for that year to 1929
?62 barrels. During the year the
year the pool declined and SO great
result in 1918 was not to be expected;
nevertheless the total reached
l1,567,299 barrels, loss of only 4.63
per cent. This good record was due
to the extension OF the Blue Creek
pool, and chiefly to the increases in
Roane county, where the Berea Gric
and Scaffold Run pools, In the Spen-
Ger district, developed product of
over 1000 barrels day early in the
year. and increased as the weather be-
came better for drilling. Harrison,

Last June Mr. Carnegie was the

zens of his native town Of Dunferm-
line. Scotland. which did him almost
royal honors with the statue which 1t
erected to him, and with special Odes
and poetic tributes Of exceeding gushi-
ness and blatancy: Now these same

is never safe for man to let his adj

THE SLUMP IN SUGAR.
Has Europe been sending us any Su-
gar lately? Il there any prospect that
there will be large production Of A9ug1r

these questions are answered In the
negative, the natural question arises
why sugar has taken its big slump. The
retail erocers Of the country were told.
when the war broke out, that sugar was
bound to advance and stay high rs
long as the war might last. because Of
the fact that Germany, Russia and
Austria all are sugar producing coun-
tries. But while the war has been get
ting WORSE. the prices OF sugar have
been getting lower and lower. The re-
tail grocers In Topeka are now Offering
1t at 20 pounds for 41-five dollars
hundred. which is about as low as SUI
gar has been for some years. And 30
the retail grocer wonders. He Is in
clined to believe that something besides
the war was getting I'm Its work on the
sugar market six or eight weeks ago.
