OIL EARNINGS
UNDER 1923

Earnings Of petroleum corpora
tions for the full year will be
well under the levels of 1929 and
adequate improvement in oil
prices must apparently now
await at least the start of heavy
consumption next spring, accord
ing to u current survey by the
Standard Statistics Company, Of
New York, which follows in part:
"The Improbable level Of
petroleum prices continues as
the main factor responsible for
the low rate of current earn
ingS among the great majority
of oil companies. Margins, par
ticuIarIy for gasoline, are ex-
tremely slim and have been
further accentuated, to those
concerns marketing the bulk
Of their products, by the exten-
Sive price wars spreading
throughout the country. CIeve-
land Is the latest area to re-
port . drastic cut in retail
quotations, and 1t is doubtful
that another price war can
now be averted on the Pacific
Coast.
"In the crude division, con.
siderable uncertainty currently
centerS around price cutting in
the mid-continent territory and
the announced reductions in
certain Texas areas. While
such reductions will, naturally,
aid some in widening the profit
margin Of refinerS, they will,
nevertheless be equally detri-
mental to producers and,
furthermore, will weigh heavily
against those concerns caught
with a large supply Of crude
in storage.
"Tn the meantime, prOduc.
ton of crude remains under
the beneficial influence Of
strict proration throughout the
country, and this method Of
voluntary restriction has been
given added impetus by the
recent Oklahoma Supreme
Court decision uphOIding the
cOnStitutiOnality of the State
oil conservation laws. In the
refining division, some further
cut in the output Of crude
has been accomplished. Such
efforts to date, however, have
not been sufficient to offset
the seasonal decline In gasoline
consumption and stocks have
been substantially added to dur.
ing the past week"

TELLS OF LANDING LARGE
TURTLE IN CALIFORNIA

In renewing his subscription to
the Spokesman, c. c. Hannold OF
Santa Cruz, California, tells of the
landing of huge turtle there. He
says: Last Sunday, August 8, the
Uden Brothers caught what is sup
posed to be the largest turtle ever
landed ten mills from this city. The
turtle is leather back or soft shell,
weighing 1880 pounds, and is nine
feet nine inches long and eleven feet
wide from tip to tip of its flippers.
1t has been embalrned and is on ex-
hibition here on the board walk at the
beach. 8.
Its neck is two feet, eight inches
around and it had so pounds of fill
let in it's stomach.
"After they had lassoed it, it nearly
sunk their twenty-five foot boat be-
fore they got it towed to the wharf
and before it could be hoisted it had
to be shot.
"A second turtle of about the same
size was gated this week and it took
gaff rope and all down. It too nearly
capsized the boat, smaller craft.
"It is supposed that an eruption in
the sea has driven these huge reptiles
to these waters"

MANUFACTURE OIL
FROM CHERRY PITS

In their quest tor wasre farm
products which may be utilized COM
mercially, chemists of the United
States department of agriculture have
recently completed a study of the
properties of cherry kernel oil. Their
findings justify the belief that this
oil would find ready use if it were
produced in large enough quantities
In many respects cl1erry-kernel oil
i is similar to that from almond, april
cot, and peach kernels, according to
|C. S. Jameson and S. I. Gertler. The
results of their Investigations ildl-
cate that it should prove useful as a
high grade salad oil, and suitable tor
use in the manufacture of various cos
metics, and for some pharmaceutical
preparations. Limited quantities have
been used for such purposes and
have given good results.
1t is estimated that more than
100, 100000 pounds of sour cherries
are canned every Year in Michigan
New York and Wisconsin. The pits,
which amount to IL to Is per cent OF
the fruit contain about % Per cent
kernel and IL per cent shell. The oil
content of the kernels ranges from
about 80 to 40 per cent If all the pits
separated at the canning plants were
utilized for oil, the annual production
would amount to more than 100000
pounds.
Studies by the department. in 1918
demonstrated the possibility of ex
tracing oil from cherry pits, but
no attempt was made to do this on
commercial scale until 1926. Last
year the commercial production
amounted to about $4,000 pounds.

east which has been most adversely
affected by climate conditions, Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia es-
pecially show losses because of treez-
ing weather this spring. All of these
states Will have sharp decrease in
production, fourth Or more, and un-
less rain comes soon, it may be more
than that. Sizes are reported smaller
tnan normal, but the fruit is in good
condition and generally free from dis
ease and pest effects. Pennsylvania
may have slightly larger crop than
last year.
FARTHER west, reports to The Packer
indicate Ohio will have smaller crop
than last years although the Rome
Beauty district in that state expects a
lair crop. Indiana will have smaller
crop. illinois will have about the
Same, perhaps Slight increase, large
~ because the Calhoun county crop
promises to be one Ct the best in
years. Other districts were affected
by frost, and dry weather also has
caused some damage.
Michigan, the principal apple grow
ing state in the northern central area
Will nave a considerable decrease,
compared with last year. Frost dam
age caused light set and there was
heavy drop in some of the growing
districts following the cold spring.
shipments from some sections in the
state Will not be more than half the
movement Of last year.
The apple crop is not heavy in
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas
and other states in the middle west
Some districts report more fruit than
last year, but as general rule, there
Will be no increase and in many dis
tricts decrease. Dry weather is
taking it's toll in this area, and rain is
needed badly for much of the late
fruit.
The crop in Colorado is short, prin-
clpally by reason of freezing weather
during May. Some authorities are of
the opinion that the state will not
ship more than half as much fruit as
was moved last year when about 1900
cars were sent out.
The crop in Idaho also is smaller
than last years and New Mexico as
well reports a reduction. The Idaho
crop, however, will be almost average
according to present indications. An
increase is expected in Utah but this
state is not heavy producer of APP
pies.
The box apples states Of the north
west, also California, have good crop
this year. Washington is the princi-
pal apple producing state in the coun-
try now, having outdistanced New
York for several years, and this year
expects a normal crop. The Yakima
Valley district is now estimating ship
rnents Of about $4,000 cars, against
1917 last year but not quite as large
a crop as in 1928, when 16,O31 cars
were shipped. The Jonathan crop in
is heavy this year, almost
twice as large as last years especially
in the Yakima Valley. The Wenat-
section has good
crop in sight with some estimates of
10000 cars of the district.
The crop in Oregon is largely grown
in the Hood River Valley and yield
IS reported good there this year. Es-
Inmates now are that the shipments
will reach $500 carloads
The state expects little better than
the average crop and more than twice
as many apples as last year.
California also reports a consider
able increase over last season and
crop in excess of the average for the
asst five years.
