GOVT WANTS OIL
Output Not Enough for In
creased War Demand.
Policy of Stimulating PRODUCE
ton Adopted by Govt.

Washington, April pa general
policy of stimulating oil production is
being initiated by the government to
offset the tremendously increased de-
mand for war purposes which is not
being eQualed by the growth in output.
AS custodian of untouched Indian
lands in Oklahoma, Wyoming and
other western states, the government
is the holder of the largest amount of
oil bearing territory in the country
from which must come most of the
additional fuel needed to supply the
navy and the big fleet of oil burning
merchant ships being built by the
shipping board.
These Indian lands are being opened
for development as rapidly as con-
oltlons warrant. Applications for
leases in the Shoshone territory of
Wyoming are being made in increas-
ing quantities. The third big block of
Usage lands in Oklahoma will be
leased at public sale in PawhuslIa May
Is. Figures compiled by the geologi-
cal survey show that the Oklahoma
production in 1917 was 9S,622,S4 bar
rels as compared with IO1,O71,715 bar
reis the preceding year.
Remarkable Increase in Kansas.
California's output in 1917 was 81
20 1892 barrels, an increase over 1916
but decrease of more than 100000
barrels. from the production of 1914
Counteracting these losses has been
the remarkable growth in Kansas
which produced only 3,103.5S5 barrels
in 1914 and 3S,000,000 barrels last
wear
