Financial Report Earnings and Disbursements for 3 Months Ending March 31 Following is the report of the board of directors of the Richfield Oil Company of California, covering the three months period ending March 31: The company earned $2,578,143.80 before providing for depletion depreciation, abandonments, intangible drilling expense, interest, federal income tax and preferred dividends. The final net earnings of the company before estimated income tax were $1,390,517.95. After allowing for preferred dividends, this represents quarterly earnings of $1.08 per share on the common stock outstanding as of March 31, 1928, and an annual rate of $4.32 per share. This is highly gratifying for a quarter that falls in a period of seasonally low sales. The following is a comparison of earnings per share to the first three months of 1928, 1927, and 1926: Annual Quarter Basis March 31, 1928: $1.08 $1.32 March 31, 1927: 0.62 2.51 March 31, 1926: 0.62 2.48 Although the company earned at the annual rate of only $2.51 per share during the first quarter of 1927, it will be remembered that the final net profit for that year, augmented by the increased profits of the later quarters, was $3.07 per share. From this, it is natural to conclude that the final earnings for 1928 will exceed the $4.32 per share indicated by the first quarter of 1928. Notwithstanding the fact that a very much larger amount than ever before was written off for intangible drilling expense, depletion and depreciation, the earnings are 70 per cent in excess of the first quarter of last year. Operations—The production of crude oil and casing-head for this quarter amounted to 2,457,000 barrels as compared with 1,549,000 barrels for the first quarter of 1927, representing an increase of 60 per cent. At March 31, there were 29 wells drillings, 23 of which were in the deep Richfield sand at Signal Hill. The company has 20,168 acres of producing proven and potential oil. The total sales for the first quarter of 1928 were $10,147,643.28, as compared with $8,943,076.89 for the first quarter of 1927. The company's sales of gasoline were 50,102,075 gallons for the quarter, an increase of 18,492,947 gallons or 60 per cent over the first quarter of 1927. The remaining three-quarters of the year should show materially increased profits in all departments. All the wells now drilling should be completed within the next 90 days, and will greatly amplify our present production figures. Sales will not only benefit from the normal seasonal increase, but also from new channels of distribution in both the domestic and export fields. We believe that the oil industry on the Pacific coast faces a period of greater stability and prospective earnings; and all factors point toward the most successful year in the history of your company. Bird Conservation Taught in Schools Worth-while material to be used in teaching the study of birds and conservation that should be of inestimable value to enchers in elementary schools is contained in a new tenchers' bulletin just issued by the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Natural Resources. This is bulletin No. 9, and is entitled "Bird Study for California Schools." It was written by Miss Gretchen Libby, for several years a lecturer for the state fish and game commission and later nature study supervisor in the Santa Barbara public schools, and Dr. H. C. Bryant, director of the bureau of education of the Division of Fish and Game. The bulletin is not technical in its mature, no scientific names being used. The first part is devoted to helpful suggestions as to materials and the methods of handling the subject of bird study. Appended is a guide to some of the commoner birds of the state. Under various family names the more important birds are discussed, emphasis being placed upon clues for field identification. There is also appended a list of "California Birds Everyone Should Know" and a sizeable bibliograph reference works.
