C., June •#. —[Special.]—Production of gaaoline increased 1,*5»,8#0 gallon* daily, or UH per cent during the firet four month* of IMO. according to a statement imued today by the bureau of mine*.

Especially is this true in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because in this area — the bread-basket of the nation —so large a percentage of the gasoline is consumed in producing food. Take away —even cripple—the automotive power on the Middle West farms and food prices will soar because of decreased production. The power-driven tractor is the only means by which the farmer can cope successfully with the shortage of man-power. By extensive research and intensive application the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased the yield of gasoline from crude to the greatest degree yet known. But it is not satisfied.

It is apparent that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by. increasing the yield na« exerted, also, a downward influence on die price of gasoline. Standard Oil Company (Jadenas) 910 So.
