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.
