Recent and pending salos OF prop
critics In whole or part by several
small companies In Oklahoma brings
out the fact that the small pro-
ducers are finding II hard To make
both ends meet these days. Just
how hard this Is hitting a majority
OF operators who have little pro-
duction and still smaller cash re-

OF several oklahoma properties.
Not only the smaller companies are
affected. but II is safe TO say that
p5 per cent OF tho companies op-
Grating In the midcontincnt field
have had their stock reduced TO half
its value by the decline In oil prices
and all are more or less In need OF
ready cash.
II Is not to bc expected that prices
will 20 up as quickly as they came
down. Every benefit as a whole
