COUNTY PRODUCTION
Is DUE TO INCREASE

Production OF the fields OF Carter
county during the month of May had
daily average OF 53.3ss barrels, which
placed IL third in the ranks OF the
producing counties. Creek county was
leading with "a daily average output OF
lOS,43l barrels, and Usage county held
second place with LOG, 1893 barrels as it's
daily average. Carter county enjoyed
a big margin over the Okfuskee, which,
as fourth contender. registered a daily
average of 32.547 barrels
Taking into consideration that fac.
that recent developments In Carter
county have proven the contention that
this section of the state has barely
been scratched as far as its OIL produc-
ton is concerned there is every evi-
dence at hand that before the expira.
ton of the present year Carter county
will climb notch and perhaps to the
leadership in the columns Of Oklahoma
counties relative to oil output. The
present production of this county Is
coming chiefly from settled portions
OF the proven areas and from sands
which have been yielding for many
months. Three pools win furnish big
production in the near future which
will swell the figures The Amerada
pool is gradually growing and adding

a gain of 467 barrels from two wells,
