The heavy crude oil from Burlington, No. 18, is the only one 
that contains as much sulfur as the average of the Lima oils. 
Burlington is in the extreme northwest border of the Kansas 
field, and this oil is not of the same character as those mar- 
keted in the regions having pipe-line connections. 
From all the data at hand it will be seen that the Kansas 
erude oils contain less than half as much sulfur as those of 
Lima, Ohio. The gasoline and kerosene distillates contain such 
small quantities of sulfur that special treatment for its removal 
is not necessary. The residues or “reduced oils’? contain less 
sulfur than the fuel oils from the California or Beaumont 
fields.
