Advices to this committee are 20
the effect that the production OF
crude oil In the Mid-Conunent field
is I'll decreasing but not as rapidly
as It should. Mexican production
is declining at the rate heretofore pre-
dicted, there being q difference bc-
tween the light oil production OF that
country today and what It was few
months ago of some four hundred
thousand barrels per day. The nature
OF the production in Mexico and con.
tirued cncroachment OF salt water
means that this production will con-
tinuc 10 decline very rapidly. Imports
from Mexico into the United States in
August were approximately two mil.
Ion barrels less than in July and we
believe t!at another decline OF two
million barrels or more will occur in
September. At this rate the impor.
tstions OF light oil from Mexico will

WATER SHORTAGE
CAUSING ALARM

ing situation, especially among cattle
raisers, and every farmer in that local.
ity Is compelled to haul water for his
stock from distant streams that are
still flowing, despite the protracted
drought.
But few streams are flowing now and
unless rain comes very soon what water
supply is available will be exhausted.
There is a little water in the upper

economic crime for the three princi-
PAL reasons; That It depletes the oil re-
sources OF the country unnecessarily,
demoralizes an industry that should be
prosperous to realize less than value
Of their oil.
The Wyoming producers recently
held a series of meetings and on Sep
tember 20 resolved to shut down un'
til next May.
The reports to this committee indi-
cate that Mid.Continent producers are
curtaiiing their operations to some
extent, there being a gradual decrease
in the number of wells drillinga d thern
was a decrease in the production last
week of approximately four thousand
barrels per day in the Mid-Continens
field. But IL all of the producers would
cooperate in this movement whole
heaited;y, the volume Of operations
and Of production would both show
a greater decrease than they do.
Let us reiterate, Mr.. Producer, that
this is your golden opportunity to
store your oil either in the ground or
In tanks on top of the ground that
economic factors now at work with
slight assistance from the army of pre-
ducers Of the Mid.Continent field will
bring about equilibrium by spring.
Cintinuous curtailment of operations
will have that cumulative effect which
we have mentioned but which will be-
come more and more apparent from
nov Oh.
AS your committee, we have attemp'
ted nothing compulsory but are act
ing merely in an advisory capacity
Our advice is to shut down and store
oil and thus show that you are busi-l
ness men OF good judgment as well
as public spirited citizens, possessed
OF keen sense of your resources OF
the southwest until demand justifies
increased production.

PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
AT INSTITUTE MEET

ST. 1OUIS.-Solution of transporta-
ton and mechanical problems Of the Pc
troleum industry were sought at a
conference here today between members
of the general committee Of the Amer.
lean Petroleum Institute, its sub-com.
mittee and delegations from other Pc
troleum refinery organizations.
Committee members said that the
transportation difficulties of the larg-
er refining companies had assumed
large proportions as a result OF the rail-
road shopmen's strike. 1t was explained
that Of approximately 137 .9s9 oil tank
cars in the United States, 50 per cent
Of these are owned by the refineries.
Damage 10 these cars result in an enor.
nous financial loss each year, which,
members of the institute said, is borne
chiefly by the refining companies be.
cause Of the lack of an adequate sys.
TEN OF joint investigation with the rail.
roads.
Cooperation between the various re-
finery organizations OF the country also
was discussed. While more than so per
cent OF the larger concerns of the coun.
try are members of the institute, there
are number Of leading refineries that
are not members, but are affiliated with
other organizations. Institute members
expressed the belief that the interests of
the country would be greatly advanced
II better cooperation between the diff.
ferent organizations could be secured.
The conference. 1t was said. may be
continued for two days. Many refineries
are represented at the meeting.
The general committee was organized
during the war and has charge Of the
transportation of petroleum products,
The subcommittee are the mechanical
committee and the rate committee.
