pubic commercial cracking process
free from royalty, which will make

glnes large quantities eff petroleum
otherwise unavailable.
Much Sold at Less Than Cost.
"Up to the present time seventy per
cent of the crude petroleum product has
been sold at less than cost. the profits
OF the operators being made entirely
on selling. the remainder as gasoline
and lubricating oils. The Rittman
process, though commercially sue
cess, should be developed further. The
bureau of mines wants to have avail
able a large centrally located plant. so
that experiments on a commercial
scale can be carried on In further de-
veloping our cracking processes. The
problem which faces the oil operators
is to use and develop the Rittman
process, which the bureau of mines has
invented so that they can convert into
gasoline or lubricating oils fifty per.
cent at least of the seventy per
cent of petroleum product now COM
mercially improbable. If they can
do this, as I think they can, the gaso!
line resources of the United States
should last for seventy-fve years.
THE bureau of mines is working
on the problem of a substitute for gas!
oline when the petroleum supply
of the world begins to be exhausted,
as it undoubtedly will be some day."

PETROLEUM MAY LAST Is YEARS MORE

problem, the bureau of mines has been
considering the conservation of the
nations petroleum resources for a
year and a half. The work of our
department has been along two lines
first, the reduction of the waste every
where prevalent in drilling the oil
wells, and second, the development of
methods of better utilization of the
petroleum products by converting the
less valuable products into the more
valuable.
'The best example of the first d.
vision of our work has been the intro
duction Of the mud-fluid process of
drilling. At the present time, how
ever, 80 per cent of the operators in
Oklahoma and Kansas are using the
mud-fuid process of drilling developed
by the bureau of mines, at an enor-
nous annual saving.
'The work Of the bureau along the
line Of better utilization of the prod
uctS of petroleum has succeeded in
developing the Rittman process as a
commercial success for the manufac-
tlre of gasoline, toluene and benZine
from kerosene or any other available
fraction of petroleum. The bureau

Wild GAME HAS Been MADE PLENTIFUL

cause importers have been prevented
from bringing these birds from foreign
countries. The report also states that
the breeding Of game fish is beginning
to attract widespread attention and
to prove highly profitable.
ut is evident that comparatively
little of our vast territory will be need
ed to make America the biggest game
producing country in the world, since
game overflows from the many breed
ing grounds and restocks large areas
where it has become extinct, the
spOrtsmen in all localities find they
are benefited and all prejudice against
the industry seems to have disap-
peared.
Benefits Are Shown.
"It is highly important that as game
becomes plentiful much of it should
be eaten, and the sale and eating of
game must be relied on to keep up the
industry, especially when 1t is under
taken by popular clubs with small
dues, which should sell some of their
game and eggs to help pay the cost Of
production. The Game Conservation
society is especially interested in clubs
of this character and is constantly at
work to help these organize.
"a notable example of the benefits
of game breeding has occurred on Long
Island. The clubs report that mallards
are plentiful not only on club grounds,
but also on public waters, where hun
dreds of birds have been shot recently.
Before game breeding was undertaken
the mallard was seldom seen on Long
Island. A single bird in bag attract
ed attention. The ornithologists re-
ferred to the mallard as an occasional
visitant.
Quail shooting has been kept open
on the island for all hands without
fear of extinction, and in whole states
where there are no quail clubs it has
been found necessary to prohibit quail
shooting at all times. When there is
as much breeding proportionately in
other parts Of the country as there is
on Long Island there will never be the
necessity for prohibiting all shooting,
as is now the case in many of the
quail states"

Conservation Society Reports
Breeders Are Renewing Sup
ply of Birds.
WILD DUCKS At 81 EACH
1t Is Suggested That New Industry
of Raising Game May Reduce
Cost of Meat-Encouraged in
35 States.

New YOrk.-The raising of wild
game is comparatively new indus
try in this country, but has been max
ing remarkable strides in the past II
months, according to the report Of the
Game Conservation society, which re-
Gently held it's annual meeting here.
The society's membership includes
many breeders who have established
game farms for the purpose of renew
ing the country's supply of game fowl
for table consumption. This supply,
according to members of the society,
wasarapidly diminishing until year
or so ago, and many of the most delec-
table forms of wild food that had
formerly been plentiful in this country
had become rare dishes even for cpl
cures.
Wild ducks and pheasants are
among the varieties of fowl that are
being raised by the breeders at the
present time, and according to the So
ciety's report the former have become
so plentiful through this method in
some states that they have appeared
On the market at prices which place
wild duck within the range of the pub
lie generally instead of the rich alone.
In Minnesota, the report states, wild
duck sold at 81 each this year. 1t is
suggested in the report that at the
present rate wild duck and other form
erly rare fowl may actually tend to
lower the cost of the more common
place meats of daily consumption.
Many States Permit Breeding.
'Thirty-five states now have laws
permitting the breeding and sale of all
or certain species of game, and many
game farms have been started in other
states in anticipation of laws encour-
aging the industry" the annual report
says. Reports coming to the society
indicate that all of the states and some
of the Provinces of Canada soon will
permit and encourage game breeding.
Reports coming to our game census
indicate that our members have over
a million game birds-there were few
er than 100000 reported last year
and that they have several times as
many deer and elk as they had last
year. The membership of the society
has doubled during the year, and our
list shows very rapid increase.
'"The breeding of quail and grouse
has been started in the western states,
and there is much interest in quail
breeding in the southern states, which
are well adapted to the production of
quail in big numbers"
Despite the fact that hundreds of
thousands of pheasants have been
raised by the breeders, the report says,
the prices have continued to rise be-
