Mosquitoes Are Allowed 10 Dine on Scientists
 for Science

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov 12.-The next time you stop at a mosquito consider the plight of Phil Granett
 Phil works with 1000 hungry mosquitoes in the Hast word in bug houses" a little building on the grounds of the New Jersey Agricul- tural Experiment Station, Rutgers University.
 He has endured about a quarter million mosquto bites in four years trying to find mosquto repelling To- tions to make summer nights more comfortable for the rest of us humans.
 He has to stick both arms. only one of which is treated with re- pellent, into a test cage and count the number of bites infected every minute on each arm.
 He'll do that for a couple of min utes, give the mosquitoes (and him. self) a rest then go through the ordeal again half an hour later. That practice is followed for hours to determine for how long a period of time the repellent is effective
 The job isn't so bad as it once was. In the early stages of his work, Granett stood about two hours each night in a field, his legs and arms bare, and let the mosquitoes do their stuff.
 He not only came away scratch ing, but slightly nervous as well.
 Now he can get data of equal value by cutting down on the mos quitoes' moments of grace.

Undetermined

Materials are arriving at Cut

arrivals this week including bub-

heavy equipment.
A crew of 80 men is employed

The plant is to be a modern Dubbs

maintain that at the moment they
are not sure what the capacity will
be. This is said to depend upon
the final decision in the matter of
participation of Producers Refining
Co. of Shelby. The original plan
was for 1,5O0O-barrel plant. Sub
sequently it was proposed that
Producers Refining Co. join, its

DUMPING DUTIES

asked the federal government to
impose dumping duties to keep
United States crude oil from enter

The application was submitted by
Herbert Greenfield. president OF

and former premier of Alberta.
The move was made because "it
is known that oil is procurable in
many states at prices below post

BY requesting the government to
invoke the law, the oilmen declare
1t is not intended to prevent crude
oil from coming into Canada from
the west or east. excepting at a
price that would interfere with
the present refining setup or de-
velopment.

His statement cleared the air
of considerable mystery by point
ing out that he and President Car
denas in their statements last Fri
day and Saturday were discussing
two different plans.
MIR. Richberg, who represents
seventeen British and American oil
companies whose property was ex-
propriated a year ago, revealed IN
directly that the question of who
was to hold the dominant place in
the collaboration he came to pro-
pose still remained an obstacle to
a settlement.
Counter-PrOposaI Made
To Mr.. Richberg's proposal that
the oil companies receive sufficient
managerial control to guarantee
mast and future investments in the
Industry, President Cardenas, it is
learned. countered with a plan for
continued government ownership
and control.
The Presidents statement Satur-
day drew no apparent distinction
between his plan and Mr.. Rich
bergs'. 1t created the impression
here that a settlement was at hand.
This impression was heightened by
his address before 10000 demon
strators yesterday, declaring that
progress" had been made toward
an accord.

irving at values. A Montana royalty
investor is at loss to understand high
royalty prices in California. A Cali
Rornia investor, accustomed to large
yieId-per-acre fields, is likely to over
shoot Montana values unless he takes
time to study production records.
But the idea that a man cannot make
money in low production areas is ridicu-
Ious. What is the difference between
paying $40 per cent per acre for roy
atty ON ground that will yield $4,000
worth of oil per acre; and paying SIS
per cent per acre for royalty on ground
that wiil yield $4,000 worth of oil per
acre, or, for that matter, paying 81 per
cent per acre for royalty on ground that
will yield $1,000 worth of oil per acre?
But the idea that an investor cannot
make money on low production fields
is ridiculous. What is the difference
between
az paying $40 per cent per acre for
royalty on ground that viii yield $780,
600 worth of oil per acre, and
(2) paying s5 per cent per acre for
royalty ON ground that viii yield So 900
worth of oil per acre, and-for that
matter
(S) paying 81 per cent per acre for
royalty on ground that will yield 81 900
worth Of oil per acre?
In (1) the investor puts in $40 and
takes out 500 in a period of years;
in (2) ne puts in SIS and takes out $50
in period of years; in (3) he puts in
81 and takes out $40 in a period of
years.
We have had California royalties sub
mitted to MS where the cost of 10 roy
atty on a wildcat tract was large enough
to buy ALL the royalty on a producing
farm in Out Bank field. We would
far rather have the royalty on the Cut
Bank farm where we would be reason
ably certain of what to expect.
Every so often we engage in CORES
pOndence with eastern brokers and others
who cannot understand our method of
figuring royalties. 1t usually ends up
in their continuing to reduce our per-
centages into fractions and we struggle
with pencil and paper trying to reduce
their fractions into percentages. The
argument never ends, but this discus
sion may aid those of our members who
occasionally encounter the royalty
acre" The Midcontinent may be ahead
OF Inc ROCKY MOUNTAIN region IN tuS
use of mOdernized drilling equipment,
but we at least have a more modern
method of figuring royalty values.
An understanding of HOW TO FIG
URE ROYALTY VALUES is a first re-
quisite to royalty investment. None
should venture to buy royalty until
he knows something of royalty values.
To us it seems quite simple but we are
anxious to send further publications on
the subject to any who is interested.
During the past week we sent out to
our members new tabuIatiOn of prOduc-
ton by farms of properties in which our
members are interested in Gut Bank
field. The reader can see at glance
what one percent royalty has earned on
each farm. That gives a better idea
of royalty values than an engineers APP
praisaI.

ton Cup to Jan. 4, 1939) is ObtatnabIe

In the MidcOntinent, royalty investors
buy royalty acres" or a fraction of the
landowners share of the oil.
In the Rocky Mountain region, royalty
investors buy percentage of the TOTAL
production.
And therein arises much confusion
among royalty investors.
1t is our belief that the Rocky Noun
tain method is going to be generally
adopted by virtue of the fact that the
securities and exchange commission now
requires that a royalty interest be reduc-
In other words, the smallest unit of
royalty offered for sale must be reduc-
ed to fraction of the TOTAL prOduc-
tfOn of the tract.
The MtdcOntfnemt investor has to use
q pencil to arrive at the share of oil to
which he is entitled The unit of pur-
chase is one acre: that is, eighth
of all the oil produced on one acre. The
person who buys one royalty acre gets
an amount equal to one-eighth (12A per
cent? of the oil on one acre. IL the
tract is 80 acres, the share so rep
resented is actually 150 thOusandths
barrels out of every 100 produced. But
the average investor cannot handle an
entire royalty acre, as a rule, so ne
bugs a fraction of a royalty acre. When
it comes to determining one-sixty-fOurth
royalty acre, it takes a pencil and paper
to find out how much oil the royalty
owner receives out of every 100 barrels
produced. Until it is reduced TO that
basis. none can have any idea as to the
value of royalty.
Contrasted with the royalty acre is
the ''acre point which we use.
The man who owns one per cent roy
atty on a tract does not have to use
pencil to know how much oil he receives.
He gets one barrel out of every 100.
III he owns a half percent, he gets half
barrel out of every hundred. The lowest
unit we ordinarily use is 18th of 4 20
which entities the owner to receive ONE
eighth barrel out of every 100 or one
barrel out of every 500 barrels produced.
When production report is received
that shows, as an example, that a tract
has produced 1926 barrels during
given month, the owner of 10 royalty
knows without reaching for a pencil
that his share is 42.96 barrels.
Not only is the figuring of RETURNS
simpIified by the decimal system, but it
is easier to figure royalty VALUES. The
value of a royalty depends upon the
amount of recoverable oil under the
AVERAGE acre. None knows exactly
how much oil a tract field will
produce. He knows whether 1t will
likely produce 1000 barrels per acre
or 100000 barrels per acre, however.
He knows within reasonable limits what
90 expect. Accordingly, price of one
per cent on one acre Immediately re-
fleets how much oil the average acre
must produce to pay out.
AS an example, when we pay 81 per
cent per acre (the price of the last
royalty we purchased in Kevin-Sunburstl
we know that this ground must produce
an average of 100 times 81 or 500
worth of oil per acre to pay out. If we
pay 81 per cent per acre, we know that
the average acre of that tract must
weld $500 worth of oil.
Thus it follows that If an operator
spends $4,000 in drilling a well on
standard location of five acres it is
