quadrupled in the same period. Many of the oilier States have 
increased their production during the last decade, including Missis-

consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Arkansas, Virginia, West Virginia, 
Maine, and Pennsylvania, though the decline is not so great as might 
be expected under conditions of continued heavy cutting.
