LDCATTING A NECES-
SITY

Few persons realize what unceas-
ing effort Ii necessary to secure a
sufficient supply of crude oil in this
country, !
The decrease OF oil well produe-
ton and the increase in the demand
by tens OF millions of barrels yearly
compel producers to expend large in
prospecting new territory. For this
reason, wildcat wells" are drilled
out side the limits of producing
pous. This is good deal of a
gamble.
The largest part of all The known
oil fields is either being operated by
companies, or has been withdrawn by
the government.
Less than two-tenths of one per
cent of the oil area in Pennsylvania
is productive, More than half of
Wyoming's production is within a
space of six square miles. The not
ed Tepetate Casiano pool in Mexico,
which has produced 100000 bar
rels of oil in eight years, is only one
mile wide and four long. Much
pioneer work must be done to insure
supplies of oil.
The national policy in recent years
of withdrawing oil areas from entry
as soon as discovered by prospectors
coupled with refusal to pass leasing
measures or grant relief 70 claimants
