The real low-down on the Midwest gasoline situation!

More motor cars and trucks are on the road in the Midwest today than in 1941 and the per car consumption ot gasoline is higher. Twice the volume ot gasoline is being consumed by tractors on Midwest farms as in 1941. The railroads have four times as many Diesel locoinotive units today as they had in 1941. Diesels bum lots of fuel oil. Additional hundreds of thousands of homes, old and. new alike, are depending on fuel oil for clean, economical, efficient heat. “tore planes arrive and depart from Midt airfields. Every plane has a hungry > that must be filled with high octane gasoline. It takes a lot of tank cars, pipe lines, and barges to bring crude oil to the refineries to produce the needed gasoline and oil. Steps taken to increase supplies Thousands of : w wells have been drilled > and are producing additional supplies of crude oil. Hundred* ot miles of new pipe lines are in service. Our refineries are producing as never before—operating at new high levels. Standard Oil’s expansion program was blueprinted long before there was any break in the war clouds. It has been driving ahead ever since V-J Day. Refinery projects already completed have added to otu - crude-running capacity and other projects now under way, although behind schedule because of shortages of materials, wiH increase this figure to 27% by next spring. Great progress has been made. But all this is not enough. Why the Midwest feels the pinch Last winter’s heavy demand for heating oil caused Standard Oil to make large increases in fuel oil yields at the expense of gasoline. As the result of this and heavy gasoline demands this spring, Standard's available inventories of gasoline at refineries and terminals are 30% below a year ago. * Also, in the Midwest transportation is a serious bottleneck. At present there just aren’t enough pipe fines and available tank c»re to carry to the Midwest the extra load

TICSTS POINT OUT ‘NATURAL CAUSKS’ TAKE GAME FISH Indianapolis, June 26 (Special) —Fifty percent of legal - site game fish in the state die from natural causes, according to the July issue of OUTDOOR INDIANA. The Indiana Department of Conservation’s official magaalne, which was received at the post office today. An article written by Dr. W. E. Ricker, director of the state Lake and Stream Survey, reveals the results of tests made at hatchery ponds—tests in which several kinds of fish were weighed and measured when planted in the spring, and again when the ponds were drained in the autumn. Figures show shat bass survive the warm months better than other species. Bass, the Hoosier angler’s favorite quarry, increased in total weight, although some of them disappeared, while bluegills and red ear sunfish “did not fare so well.” Neither did perch and crappies. Ricker’s principal interest in the investigation was in establishing the causes of mortality. He discounts predation and disease. which leaves old age as the apparent reason for death. “It would seem. Ricker writes, “the fish died secretly and gradually .... These seemed literally to have wasted away.” The writer is ni>t certain whether mortality of this sort should be called “natural” but he reaches at least one definite conclusion namely, if the large fish are going to die anyhow, they might as well be fished out by sportsmen The title of the article is ‘They Die Anyhow.” Mr. ar\d Mrs. Max Carlson and son. Stephen, left Saturday to ays with tht former’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carlson, in Detroit. Mich. Mrs. Florence Myers, daughter of Mrs. Retta Clayton, of Milford, and Roy Schults, son of Charles Schultz., were married Saturday evening in the bride’s home in Milford. Rev. W. I. Duker performed the ceremony in the presence of te immediate families. • The Pythian Sisters will hold a bake sale Saturday July 19 in The Syracuse Journal office.

of crude oil and finished products from distant producing and refining areas. Here again, projects u hich will help the situation by next spring are under way. How Standard Oil is handling the situation In the interest of fair treatment of all our customers, we are putting into effect at once an allocation system for the distribution of our gasoline during June, July and August. Throughout these months the total amount to be supplied Standard Oil Agents and Dealers in the Midwest will be approximately equal to what they received in 1946 during the same period. Since gasoline sales are running millions of gallons ahead of last year’s, Standard Oil Agents and Dealers, in turn, will be unable to meet an unlimited demand. This temporary allocation system is adopted for your protection. We frankly do not know how long this situation will last. We are laying our plans on the belief that it will continue through August—perhaps longer. We do not believe the situation is serious enough to justify the introduction of formal rationing. How you may be affected by this situation There may be times when your service station dealer will be out of gasoline temporarily. Even if you are not always able to buy all the gasoline you want, there should be no need for real hardship. Although this is vacation time—if folks will take it easy, will reduce unnecessary driving. arid not drive at high speeds that consume a lot of gasoline—everybody should be able to stay on a fairly normal basis. Nobody needs to become panicky. Hoarding, which is dangerous, would only aggravate the situation. Standard Gil Dealers are cooperating wholeheartedly in this temporary emergency, which there is every reason to believe will not be of too long duration. We earnestly be:peak your cooperation with your favorite Standard Oil Dealer. Both he and we want to see you often—and for a long time to come.

All AAA Commitments For Farmers Suspended Due to the uncertainty of the present Department of Agriculture appropriation bill now t>. fore Congress. J N. Vilger. State! Director of the Production and i Marketing Administration. an- , nounced that all commitments! under this year’s AAA farm program are temporarily suspended Volger said that all work undertaken to date under the 1947 farm program had been based on the expectation that approximately >3OO million would be available in the United States for this year’s operation, an amount authorized by the previous Congress. The actual appropriation bill passed by the House of Representatives proposes that such funds be limited t 0.5165 million. Such a reduction. Volger declared. would involve ’ considerable change in the operation of the program. So until final determinations are made, all activities in connection with the program must be held up. Farm program activities affected temporarily are: t Purchase orders for lirostomand fertilizer suspended Orders now in the hands of farmers and vendors on which work has not been started or delivery of materials made are cancelled. Assistance in laying contour lines or staking out livestock water ponds cannot be offered to farmers. Individual payments to farmers who carried out soil building practices may be cut as much as 50 per cent. We regret that this action has been necessary. Volger declared. “At the beginning of the year we were assured by the previous Congress that a full appropriation for the operation of the farm program in 1947 would be made. We operated under that assurance. We have called a halt to all activities until final determination is made by the Senate “The heavy food production during the war year’s put a sever* drain on the fertility of our soil. Therefore, we advise all Indiana farmers to carry out all soil-building practices listed on their AAA farm plans.” It is possible, Volger said, that the entire Department of Agriculture appropriation may be restored and full farm payments and services reinstated. Approximately 145.600 Hoosier farmers are affected by the suspension of the farm program.
