How Farm
Production Is
Geared to
Demand
SINCE
"y-VfttTjF"
*!-rf..prr*:-vi*
Morning
the discovery of petroleum, the
per capita production of wheat in the
United States has more than doubled, and
this in the face of a constantly decreasing
percentage in our farm population. The
products of petroleum have been largely
responsible for the increase.
In 1850,90 percent of our people lived on
farms in 1919 only 33 percent of the
population was listed as rural.
In 1850 the per capita production of wheat
was 4.4 bushels, while in 1919 it was
almost 9 bushels.
On the farms of the Middle West—the
bread-basket of the nation—the gas engine
is best known. And here this engine is
plowing, seeding, and harvesting by the
square mile instead of by the acre, and it is
doing the work better, quicker, and cheap
er than it could be done by horse-power.
These engines must have gasoline, and they
must have oil, both products of petroleum.
That is why the U. S. Government declares
that "petroleum is a basic necessity, as much
so as wool or wheat".
The manufacture and distribution of gasoline,
lubricating oils, and other petroleum products,
have been developed to a high degree of effi
ciency by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
This organization, trained by years of experi
ence to anticipate unheralded conditions, has
been able to foresee and prepare to meet prob
lems, which, unsolved, might have proved
disastrous.
Even transportation and other troubles in
allied industries have failed to make an appre
ciable interruption in the steady flow of prod
ucts from the refineries of the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) to the consumers of the
Middle West.
