DRILLING OVER 500 WELLS IN SO. CALIF. The continuous intensive drilling of the Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Santa Fe Springs oil fields has brought oil production to the saturation point. Almast a half million barrels of crude oil is flawing daily from the three southern fields. Since frenzied town-lot development started in the early part of 1921, there has been onl one way of preventing such an outcome—to curtail drilling. The complicated interests of lessors, royalty holders, drilling contractors and town lot operators seem to have made accomplishment of a concerted effort in this direction impossible. A forced reduction in drilling and production through the inexorable workings of the law of supply and demand appears to be the only remedy. For reductions in the value of the crude product within a year have caused no appreciable check in drilling. Over 500 wells are now drilling in the three fields. A recent movement to restrict the output of individual wells will further curtail the profits derived from each producing unit. The over-supply is being more actively maintained by initial production of just completed than the rapidly declining old wells. Initial production of 12 wells recently completed at Santa Fe Springs averaged 3950 barrels per well as compared with an average daily production of 1600 barrels per well for all producing wells in the field. It should be borne in mind—in this town-lot development—that an appreciable amount of drilling has been financed by people not experienced in the oil industry. They have invested in things hoped for drilling will continue regardless of the profit that can be realized from the product. It is estimated that $55,000,000 has been expended in drilling alone since these fields started. The three fields have produced from January 1, 1923 to May 1, 1923. At the beginning of 1921 there were 43 producers of petroleum in Los Angeles and Orange counties. In January, 1923, the number of producers had increased to 175. There has been no material change in the number of marketing concerns. Five of the largest companies of California are confronted with the huge task of taking care of a major portion of the production, providing transportation, storage and refining facilities for a greater additional quantity of crude oil than these companies handled throughout the entire plant of the industry at the beginning of 1921.

He covered broader field even than that. Not only diagnosed the disease of older civilization but prescribed cures. Peace, a Christianized church reconstructed science, eugenics, economic internationalism were remedies named to cure the ill modern humanity, which Skeyhill clarated were biological ungodliness meaning principally lack of intelligence immating, war and moral spiritual degeneration. These causes had been responsible for decline of all civilizations, the speaker asserted, from Egypt, Babylon in Assyria down through Athens, India, with Alexander the Great Rome to modern civilization, date from the thirteenth or fourteenth century of the Christian era. Barbarism and savagery tend to eliminate the unfit; civilization so seriously preserves them. Not are the physically and mentally fit preserved, contrary to the law God and man, said Skeyhill, but discriminate mating tends to press the unfit. Such marriages break Golden Rule, which Skeyhill signifies doing to the unborn as would the unborn should do us. War likewise tends to kill off fit and leave the unfit. It is flower of the younger generation that goes to war—that went to World War. Skeyhill, a Britisher, entered war at 18, and emerged blind practically blind, remaining three years; and with several wounds. He still has several bulbs in one leg. He now appears physically fit, however, and since he has travelled tens of thousands miles, visiting Europe and the Near East five different times and talks at first hand with political and social leaders, particularly the young men.
