Seven Lives Lost in Rumanian Oil Fires Bucharest, Rumania, May 15.—(?) —Having claimed a toll of seven lives, fires were raging today in two Rumanian oil fields. An explosion ignited an oil well at Ploesti, 45 miles north of Buch- arest, killing five persons. The flames spread to six other wells and the heat was so intense that fire fighters were unable to ap- proach. Villagers were fleeing from their homes in the Ocuri district where a large number of oil wells of the Astroromano company have been burning since Saturday. Two en- gineers were burned to death. In an effort to check the spread of the flames forests were being felled and tunnels dug to carry off the oil.

Most of the counties reported a decrease in the hard wheat acreage and an increase in the acreage of | durum, which is explainable in most cases by late spring planting. Bar- | ley, flax, rye and corn were gener- ally reported to have an acreage, with the total acreage of all varieties of wheat either normal or slightly decreased. The general condition of livestock was reported as good, but two banks searcity of winter feed, the cattle had suffered a hard winter. green pastures, they said, had brought the herds up to the normal condition at this time of the year. Much Fall Plowing Done Two carloads of sheep were shipped into Cavalier county for dis- tribution among the farmers, one re- port said. Indications are for a gen- eral increase in that locality of dairy, poultry, and sheep produc- tion. The farmers of Cavalier coun- ty were benefited by a large amount of fall plowing. Traill county reports said that the r stand of winter rye in that section of the state had been badly 4d: aged by winter killing. The w acreage there has been cut, the ports said, but barley, flax, corn and oats acreages have been incres “The winter rye stand is thinned probably 20 per cent by lack of win-| thin ter protection,” according to C.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is one of the largest units of one of the most important industries of the ane industry that offers a remarkable record. It is a matter of common knowledge that in the last ten years the price of gasoline has advanced less than that of anyother commodity in general use, although the demand for it has increased far more than the demand for any of the others. The supply of gasoline has been furnished when and where it was needed so faithfully that the fact is taken for granted. This record of stability has been made by an industry in which costs of production have risen rapidly, in which the investment required and ee risks incurred have been extraordinarily great Within the past dozen years more than $750- 000,000 was expended in the U. S. in drilling holes and $500,000,000 more was put into Is that produced so little oil as to turn the investment into a heavy deficit. These statis- tics emphasize the achievement of the oil industry in furnishing a complete and con- tinuous supply of petroleum products at com- paratively stable prices. The average cost of drilling a well in 1913 was $4,765. The average cost of a well last year was $18,725—or nearly 300 per cent more. Against this background of rapidly rising costs, consider the stability of the price of gasoline which over the first seven months of 1927 was only 12 per cent more than before the war! This achievement of the oil industry has been made peed by increasing efficiency of operation. nce has been employed to im- Prove methods, reduce waste and eliminate loss.
