Toe. Hogs are down to about sc a
pouni. However the decline in prlc-
IS on poultry aad cream has been
so slight that it is scarcely percepti-
bic As this is being written hens are
bringing lac. If you could get $l4 a
hundred Tor hogs it LOOKS like old
times. Yet at present prices 100
pounds Of hens will bring IN as much
norey rs 63 bushels of corn or 20
bushels Of wheat or 255 ID hog.
Eggs ATE 40c dozen or $l2 case.
4 case Of eggs is therefore worth as
much cash as good load of cdr corn
Or "A I2O-lb hog Two cases of eggs
would buy mighty good calf at pre-
sent prices. Looks as though it would
pay TO at least take as good care OF
the hens as the hogs and other live
stock.

J. WASHINGTON LETTER !.

Washington. - U. s. Commercial
Attache Carlton Jackson, now in Mex
leo, recently submitted some interest
ing figures taken from the records of
the Mexican Secretary of Hacienda,
showing the total production of petrol
cum in Mexico, by years, from 1901 to
1920, inclusive, with the production
for 1921, I'D to May, added. These fig
ures are enlightening as showing the
prodigious development in petroleum
production which has been brought
about, not by the Mexicans themselves,
who would probably have squatted on
their heels over oceans of oil for the
next millennium, but by American and
British capitalists who had the cour-
age to go in there and do that for the
country and the world at large which
the Mexicans seem utterly incapable
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1921-08-25
of doing for themselves.


Beginning with production in 1901
of 1O,S45 BARRELS, Mexican petroleum
production rises rapidly to 1,005,000
barrels in 1907, to 12,5O0,0O0 in 1911
and to 26,OO0,OOO in 1914. In 1915 war
demands for oil gave boost to pro-
duction in Mexico, and despite the OBJ
stacles which that country sought to
throw in the way of the allied cause
by discouraglng the oil producers, pro-
duction in that year reached 100000
barrels; in 1916 4O,545,000 barrels;
1917, 55,OO0,0OO barrels; 1918, 64,000,-
900, and in 1919, S7,OOO,OOO barrels.
Last ear the production shot up to
1853 100000 barrels, and for the first
five months Of the current year it to-
tailed nearly S7,OOO,OOO, barrels, or at
the rate of 211,OOO,OOO barrels for the
year.
About 80 per cent. of the import OF
petroleum into the United States
comes from Mexico. From that coun-
I try in 1920 we imported over 100000
900 barrels of crude oil, which amunt-
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1921-08-25

Cd To about e5 per cent. Of that years
Mexican production. In 1919 our I'm
ports amounted to about 90 per cent
Of the production for that year, and In
1918, to about go per cent During the
fiscal year ended June 80 last, we
imported 133,500,00o barrels OF oil
from Mexico, or probably about Is per
cent. Of the production for the IL
months period ended that date. Mex
leo Is now imposing q handicap Of %
cents q barrel through the medium Of
an export tax, SO that on that basis
we are charge toll Of something like
$33,O0O.00O annually. According to lat
est advices American activities ceased
shortly after Obregon's export tax de-
cree became effective, the explanation
being that a falling market coupled
with this tan made expectation of oil
at a profit impossible.
But worse than this tax, American
capital having done so much to de-
velop this industry in Mexico, having
placed the business on q large and
profitable basis, the Mexican govern
ment steps in with a proposal for con-
fiscation and refuses to make any
agreement to the contrary as a basis
for the recognition Of that Government
by the United States. Until some such
agreement is reached 1t is hardly prob
able that the Harding Administration
pledged as 1t is to safeguard the lives
and property Of American doings bust
ness in foreign countries, will have
anything to do within Mexico as a rec
ognized member Of the sisterhood Of
nations. And until the United States
recognizes Mexico. she may rest as
sured that the other nations will not.

bning his duties in the pulpit with his
field work as an enforcement agent.
Recently he resigned the active pas

overwork wrecked his health and caused
his death. He had n nervous break
