sumption, they are no larger relative
ly than before. The April 80 storage
in the last two years represented 81
days supply at the April rate. This
is certainly not excessive, and with
normal consumption and exports this
summer the stocks should be greatly
reduced by fall Exports of l89,0O0,-
600 gallons in May, 1926 were the
largest for any month in history.
Authorities in the oil trade regard the
gasoline situation as stronger than at
any time for several years.
The "Cracking" Process
The tremendous production of gas
oline at the present time is made
possible only by the use of various
Cracking" processes which have been
discovered in recent years to supple
ment the usual refining operations
The crude petroleum is first distilled
by, the ordinary methods into its COM
ponent parts of gases, naphthas, gaso-
line, kerosene, light and heavy par
afin distillate (used for lubricating
oils and greases), fuel oil and tar.
Then the relatively low value fuel oil
is again distilled by being subjected
to very high temperature and pres
sure, causing breaking down of some
of its elements into gasoline.
In 1916 the average yield Of gaso-
line from crude oil was 10 per cent,
which has been increased to over So
per cent at the present time. Last
year the world production of crude
petroleum was 1,O66,220,000 barrels,
of which the United States contri-
buted 764,0OO,00O barrels or 7l.o per
cent. Without these improvements in
refinery practice the 1925 gasoline out
put in this country alone would have
required more than the entire world
production of crude. 1t has added
millions of barrels to our oil supply
and saved the day for the motor car.
Crude petroleum of the Kansas
Oklahoma grade is now quoted around
SOS per barrel compared with an
average of $l.6S for the year 1925.
and gasoline is selling for Il cents
per gallon wholesale in New York
compared with an average of l9.l
cents for 1925. The rising prices OF
these and other oil products are Of
course reflection of the heavier de-
mand, but are caused also by the fact

walls painted a delicate mauve, the
ceiling still lighter tint, and the
woodwork Alice blue. The floor
might be painted the same shade
of blue, and have rose--pink rugs
on it. For the curtains, cretonne
combining mauve, blue and pink
colors would be lovely with the
Alice blue window-trim; or flow
cred chintz might be used with
equally good effect. It would be
attractive to have the furniture
painted Alice blue, like the wood
work, and decorated with pink
rosebuds or Japanese cherry
blossoms, using either stencils or
decalcomania transfers.
This color-scheme would be q
becoming setting for a blonde. A
brunette probably would prefer
such a combination as apricot and
turquoise. Orchid and yellow
would make an effective bedroom
interior for either blonde or bru-
nette,

The population of the world is in
creasing at the rate of $4,000 day,
according to an article by Prof. Ed
ward Murray East, of Harvard Univer-
sity, published in recent number Of
current History. Prof. East says that,
taking the world over, there are on
the average 10000 births AID 100000
deaths in a day, making net daily
gain of $4,000. Prof. East places the
present population of the world at
1850 millions, and says 1t has more
than doubled since the beginning OF
the Nineteenth Century
Statistics are assembled to show
that as population in any country
reaches a certain density the rate of
increase falls off, until it becomes
practically stationary. This has al
ready happened in China, and has al
most come about in India. Prof East
quotes authorities to the effect that
the population of the United States
will become stationary at about 200,-
100000, and that this figure will be
reached in the present century.
ton development of the North Ameri-
can continent is Canada, which occu-
pies an area greater than that of the
United States, and has at present
about 100000 inhabitants. Prof.
East finds that population in Canada
is increasing rapidly, the birth rate
being more than double the death
rate. The death rate in Canada is
11.3 per thousand compared with 11.9
in the United States, and the birth
rate in Canada is 26.7 per thousand

MANY STATE COLLEGE GRADUATES OF
AGRICULTURE CONTINUE FARM WORK

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman-There are '534 graduates in
agriculture from the State College of
Washington now at work in this and
other states. = A large majority Of
them are in agricultural work, for
which they received special training.
Records of 3O1 of these graduates
have been received at the office of
Edward G. Johnson, dean of agricul-
ture at the State College, during the
last year.. These have just been sum-
married. and an analysis made of the
different kinds of work in which
agricultural graduates are engaged
and the percentage of graduates in
each.
OF the 301 whose occupation is
definitely known, SO or 81 per cent are
actively farming AS smaller num-
Der of replies are received from farm
ers in proportion to the entire num-
Der engaged in farming than from
those in some other occupations,
teaching for instance, it is estimated
by Dean Johnson that not less than
40 per cent are actually engaged in
farming. Twenty-one per cent are
teaching in city schools, in high
schools and colleges. OF the SO who
have reported they are teaching, II
are superintendent of schools, two
are high school principals, IL are
teachers of agriculture, 16 teachers of
science subjects closely related to
agriculture and four teachers of ath-
letics in high schools and 10 are on
the agricultural teaching STATS of col
leges and universities. Fourteen are
in agricultural extension. This in
cludes extension specialists and
county agents. When these are added
to the teachers, extension work being
teaching by other than class room
methods, total of 80, or rs per cent
are engaged in teaching work.
The next highest number or about
8 per cent, are in miscellaneous bust
ness enterprises. Included in this
classification, are five rural bankers,

THE OIL INDUSTRY
From The Monthly Bank Letter For July Issued BY
The National City Bank Of New York

that crude production of around
100000 barrels per day is actually
10 per cent less than year ago.
There has been also a strengthen
ing of kerosene prices since last year,
due to the fact that consumption has
required large Withdrawals from
stocks on hand. These stocks in
April, 1925 were 10,349,000 barrels;
they fell to 7,0l400O in April, 1926,
drop of 81 per cent. Demand is
growing continually for fuel in farm
tractors, diesel engines and motor
boats, while domestic heating took
more than usual this year on account
of the late spring Production of
kerosene has not kept pace with that
of gasoline, as the refiners are turn
ing out as small yield of kerosene
as possible due to the comparatively
low price.
The higher prices for petroleum
products generally have already had
the effect of stimulating extensive
new drilling, not alone in the big we'll
district of the Mid Continent and
California but in the old eastern fields
as well. If any szcable volume of
flush production should be brought in,
as happened in the "deep sand re-
serve,' of Smackover. Arkansas last
year or the "Los Angeles BASIN in
1928, the price level might turn down
ward again.
Mergers Strengthen Position
The industry, however, has been put
into soundcr position as result OF
numerous mergers which have taken
place during the last year or two.
The purposes behind these consolida-
tons arc to obtain adequate supplies
of crude petroleum to meet the grow
ing refinery demand, to control to some
extent the exploitation OF new fields.
and to secure the usual gainssin ctii--
cheney of operation and stability OF
earnings resulting from large scale,
integratcd production.
The oil trade has now every reason
to look forward to an investment re-
turn that will be commensurate with
the large capital employed and the
unusual hazards characteristic OF this
line of business. The improved out
look has been partly discounted in the
stock market, where the shares OF
leading oil companies are around
their highest levels Of the year.

TT HE college girl, home for the
summer vacation, may find
pleasant diversion in doing
over her room. In all probability,
her room at college is shared with
another girl, 80 she has not much
opportunity to express her own
tastes and fancies there. Now she
will find it a real joy to create the
sort Of environment that appeals
to her.
To get the best results, she had
better coax father and mother to
let her do it all over from the be-
ginning. For of course she will
want a new color-scheme, and ev-
erything should be in harmony
with that. After the room has
been dismantled and cleaned, the
next step is to have the old finish
removed from the walls, ceiling,
woodwork and floor, being sure the
surfaces are dry and clean before
they are re-painted in accordance
with the new color scheme.
It would be charming to have the

The recent rise in the prices of
crude petroleum and refined products
and the improved outlook for the in
dustry generally are worthy of more
than passing comment. This line has
not had really successful year since
1920, although the profits of the lead
ing companies in 1925 showed crafty
ing gains over the years Immediately
preceding and the indications are that
1926 will be still better. Such month
Nv and quarterly earning reports as
have been issued so far this year
show increases as compared with the
corresponding periods of 1925.
Gasoline is the product in chief
demand and during the last few years
its production has grown by leaps and
bounds to supply the large number of
automobiles, trucks and buses now in
use. The registration of such vehicles
in the United States passed the Il,
100000 mark this spring; at the be-
ginning of 1916 the total registration
was only 2,445,O00 so that in ten years
the increase has been eight-fold
To meet this demand there was pro-
duced in this country last year TO-
8S6,127,0O0 gallons of gasoline, an av-
crage of 907,177,000 gallons per
month. Domestic consumption took
o,3o20o4,OO0 gallons, and 1,334314,OOO
gallons or 12.2 per cent was exported.
As home consumption and exports
combined fell 193,719,000 gallons short
of equalling total production, the
stocks at the end of the year were
increased by the amount of this excess.
Large Inventory
Gasoline in storage increased in jan
uary and February, 1926 due to the
customary low demand in those
months, and increased in March also
due to the delayed spring weather
Stocks on March 81 amounted to
1896, $4,000 gallons, the highest fig
ure ever reached, and were drawn
down only 100000 gallons during
April. In some quarters serious con-
Germ has been expressed over this
large inventory.
The domestic consumption, however
is at higher rate than ever before
at this time of the year, running Is
per cent ahead of 1925 and so per
cent over 1924, so that if stocks be
considered in relation to current con-

Tip-burn, is disease, apparently
without bacterial origin, that is caus-
ing considerable trouble to lettuce
growers this year. 1t is characterized
by the browning Of the edges Of the
wrapper-leaves, but quite often affects
the interior of the head This trouble
Is generally attributed to warm
weather, and is prone to follow warm
spells just after a shower The only
remedy SO far suggested is to grow
the lettuce early and get 1t off the
ground before the warm or hot
weather sets in. With plenty of mois-
ture in the ground during the growing
season. this trouble is not likely to
appear.

Florida raw acreage. The bureau is

The campaign was opened with
an old style Chinese play showing
the costumes. customs and ways In
which women lived of old. staged
entirely by the women students.
Men students had been prevailed
upon TO paint the scenery. Other
than that the entire production was
a venture of the "co-eds' to which
