It contains a wealth of infor- mation on the subjects named. THE FIRE MENACE Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting on the Farm, Farmers’ Bulletin 904, published by United States department of agricul- ture, Washington, D. C., obtainable on request, ITH the coming of winter the fire menace on the northern farm increases.. This pam- phlet is particularly timely now. It treats in practical manner with the causes of fire and their re- moval and with wvarious types of fire- fighting apparatus® suitable for the farm. The department of agriculture takes the ground that installation of lightning rods is highly desirable, re- ducing the danger of fire from this cause 80 to 90 per cent. Co-operative rural fire-fighting organizations are recommended to give the farmer pro- tection comparable to what the city dweller has. ; CO-OPERATION The Organization of Co-Operative Grain - Elevator Companies, Bulletin No. 860 of the United States department of agricul- ture, published by Government Printing Office, Washington, D.

The department an- nounces that another pamphlet, enti- tled “Principles of Livestock Breed- ing,” will be published shortly which will go into the subject more fully.

LITTLE WHEAT GRADES NO. 1 More than 70 per cent of this year’s winter wheat will grade less than No. States department of agriculture.

Michigan Avenue, _PAGE SEVENTEEN N 1910 there were approximately 400 thousand cars in the United States. - To operate these cars there was available a gasoline production of 750 million gal-- lons, or, approximately 1875 gallons per car. In 1919 there were more than 7 million ~cars and trucks operating in the United States. To supply these engines there was évail-, able, according to Bureau of Mines Re- port, 3 billion, 957 million gallons of gasoline, or approximately, 565 gallons ; per car. In neither case has consideration been given to the demand of tractors, stationary gas engines, or the gasoline required by the arts and indus- ! tries. Nor have we considered the large vol- ‘ume of this product shipped abroad annually. The above figures are presented so that you may visualize one of the problems the petroleum industry has been called upon to solve in the past decade. i In 1910 the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)- marketed about 20 percent of the gasoline out--~ put in the United States, or approximately 150 million gallons. In 1919 this Company sold about 640 million -gallons of gasoline, or about - 17 percent of the total for that year. It has been the task of the 7 men .who manage «.the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indi- ana) for the 5124 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much as 10 percent of the total, to expand the organization not only to keep pace with, but to keep ahead of the extraordinary and . persistent demand for gasoline. How well they have succeeded is illustrated clearly by the fact that in the 10-year period above mentioned, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken a:leading part in increasing gasoline production 440 percent, while crude oil - production increased only 94 percent, Standard Oil Conip‘afny_ : {Indiana) * Chicago, Il Mention the Leader When Writing Advertiscrs i E 5 3 £ }
