No Danger of Mexican
Crude Interference,
States An Authority

j. h. Ring, president and general
manager of the Sun Company OF Mex
leo, stopped in Ardmore yesterday en-
route from Tampico to Ohio to visit
with his family. During the two years
Mr. Ring has been in Tampico his
wife has spent most of the time with
him but she was called home on ac-
count Of bereavement In the family.
From Ohio he will visit the homo
offices of his company in Philadelphia
and will return to Mexico about the
first Of September.
Mr. Ring represented the Twin State
Company here during the boom days
Of Healdton and has business interests
in this city that require his attention
here from Nme to time. The Twin.
State is the Oklahoma subsidiary of
the Sun Company. Mr.. Ring began
life as a college professor and began
working in the oil game during vaca-
ton periods and finally abandoned
ly. He is making a success of the
business. During his stay IN Mexico
he has made land purchases but has
carried on no drilling operations.
Mr.. Ring is of the opinion that
Mexican crude will not ever interfere
materially with the price of oil in this
country. He takes the view that If the
fields there are turned loose and al
lowed to produce their maximum tina,
they would soon be exhausted. II IA
not his opinion that Standard Oil had
anything TO do with the Mexican ex
port tax as has been intimated in
this country.

Curtailment of Production Most Logical
Method for Improvement of COnditiOns-the
Shutdown Order Must Be Strictly Observed

The defeat of the proposed tariff
on the importation of Mexican crude
oil has not dampened the spirits OF
the oil men here. and in the same
optimistic mood which they have en-
tertained since the petroleum market
commenced to take Il decline, they
are firm in their belief that curtail-
ynent of production will be the chief
cause Of an improvement in condi-
tions. Operators in the local fields
are very cogniZant of this fact, as is
evidenced by the large number of OPP
erations being shut down by the pro.
ducers. More strings of tools are
being added daily TO the large mum
Der already idle, and are expected to
increase in rapid manner Up TO July
4. Oklahoma had not decreased in pro
duction To- yery noticeable extent
being reported as holding its own
However. the ack of decrease was
due to flush production Of wells
brought in about the time the shut
DOWN movement was being originally
advocated. II is expected that de
crease will be noted at the end OF the
present month. and will continue IL
lessen until II reaches very marked
degree. The total production of five
states in the mid.contineut field
Louisiana. oklahoma, Arkansas, Tex
as and Kansas-during the period OF
January ! to July /. according to sta.
tistics lately compiled. shows a de
crease OF 10000 barrels which is most
encouraging 10 the oil fraternity IN
general especially when notation Is
made OF the fact that on January
the production OF the III Dorado field
was nil. and on July i, was 10000
barrels Three states responsible fol
the decline We're Kansas. Texas an(
Arkansas.
The greatest difficulties which scen
to be encountered In the local fields
are that several OF the larger com
p1ries are drilling To "a greater extent
than ever, confining their activities
chiefly To deepening OF producins
wells Had II not been for these
developments. the production of th'
Hewitt field would have fallen of

beginning Of the greatly desired re
