Multiplying the Wheat Yield 21 Times Per Man “It takes thirteen minutes of human labor to produce every bushel of wheat that comes out of a good American wheat state. In Europe a bushel of wheat required four and one-half hours of labor." —Dearborn Independent. Europe with its pre-war Wealth of labor developed intensive hand cultivation to an extent undreamed of because unnecessary in America. In the United States labor shortage developed a type of farming which gave petroleum products a chance to lend a hand. Increased labor-shortage in the United States has meant increased application of gasoline-power to the farms of the Middle West. Mechanical power has multiplied the wheat yield 21 times per man. The fact that power machinery, and gasoline to run it, is going on the farms, is responsible in no small degree for the large crops produced for 1920. The great mission of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ia to produce enough gasoline to supply the farmer with all he can use at the time and place he needs it, and at a low price. , “Domestic consumption of gasoline, far out-strip-ping our production of crude petroleuin, has forced gasoline up in price. During the first four months of 1920, gasoline consumption increased 796,030 gallon* a day more than production during the Mme period." (Oil News, July 5, 1920.) While more crude oil is being produced in 1920 than even the most enthusiastic optimist dared predict five years ago, it is not sufficient to meet the ever increasing demand. Every facility developed by the vast organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) through years of service, is being directed to the end of supplying the farms of the Middle West with necessary petroleum rroducts. Transportation difficulties have been anticipated by this company, so that there has been no serious shortage of petroleum products to the farmer in any of the states served by this company —the dark green tank wagon delivering even to the tractor in the field x in emergencies. Helping the farmer produce and market his crop is one of the essential services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the people of the Middle West. ; - - _;— ~ 7T* 7 ' 7 Standard Oil Company (Indiana) , 910 So.

Americanism

By LEONARD WOOD

It is all right and inevitable that we should divide on party line*, bat woe to us if we are not Americans first and party men second.—Theodore Roosevelt: Speech September 2, 1902.

Theodore roosevelt believed that when the nation’s life was at stake Americanism should know no party except the one which the word implies, a gathering into one party of all men when matters vital to the country are at issue. The strength of Roosevelt’s words .shows how solemnly he regarded the obligation of every citizen of the United States to be first an American and something else afterward. In. times of great national peril party lines almost entirely disappear, as in the war when the Republicans supported the administration almost without question. If the day should come when they do not, the beginning of the end is not far off. Seemingly It Is so obvious a thing that considerations of country should rise superior to those of party that it may seem almost useless to stress the point It is necessary, however, to do so today because there are groups in this country which, while they may call themselves political parties, are not truly such. Men recently, not In great numbers, it is true, but In large enough groups to cause some apprehension, have been advocating theories 'which if turned into actual conditions would put a false idealism above tryIt is the endeavor of these men to paint on the canvas a picture alluringly beautiful, but which is a picture only. Roughly speaking, it represents every man as the follower of his own inclinations and desires without regard to the welfare of the members of the community as a body. It is a picture of government without a government—a free-to-do-as-you-wlll sort of portrayal which can appeal only to the passions of men. When these painters turn preachers and urge'that their false ideas be accepted, it might seem perhaps that they would be dangerous only to’ the unthinking. The trouble is, however, that many of them buttress their pleas with arguments which seemingly have weight. It is for the stable minded to offset with plain statements of fact the attempts of the enemies of good government to destroy existing institutions.
