average paid for crude was CSC per barrel.
In 1914 producers had a little discourage

average, and they drilled only $4,000 wells.
These wells, however, proved exceptionally
prolific and crude prices dropped to an aver
age of 64c barrel (4Oc in the Mid Continent
field. AS consequence of the over-produc-
ton, the bottom dropped out of the gasoline
market and low prices prevailed.
The low prices of crude made exploration of
new fields improbable, and in 1915 only
$4,000 wells were drilled. This halt in pro-
duction enabled demand to creep up on
supply, and caused crude to advance until
it reached $1.10 per barrel.
Encouraged by the better prices offered,
producers put down $4,000 wells in 1916.
The unprecedented demand aroused by the
war caused petroleum prices to soar, and,
Notwithstanding the activities in the produc-
ing field, prices have continued to advance
because demand exceeded supply.
In August 1920, the number of new oil
wells brought in for that month alone was
3,513-the highest oil production mark in
the history of the United States. Yet so
great was demand that Mid Continent crude
