the only way i know finding it is to drill scientific conservation methods mean progress and nobody knows it better than the state conservation man who works with a oil company that's right you know in the old days sometimes as much as two thirds of the crude they might have gotten was left underground taking out of oil as fast as possible is inefficient and wasteful around here you'll find wells twenty and thirty years old being reworked and oil being recovered but in some places the stuff's lost forever measuring and checking as i do every day you don't find such waste going on now in many modern fields recycling plants process a lot of the natural gas that used to be wasted these days the gas goes through all its fancy equipment and out of it comes chemicals which are used in making cloth and paint and plastics and i don't know what all if that's not farming is changed more in the last fifty years than a did in the previous thousand a farmer today can work five times the land his father worked and still have time for leisure that his father never knew have liquefied petroleum gas delivered to the house by a local deal petroleum does still other jobs that farmers would once have thought were miracle petroleum derivatives kill insects and plant diseases speed the right wing of fruit and preserve it on the way to market the day a farmer can fight the odds of nature instead of giving into each hour of the day our oil first in nation the bans over ten million gallons of literally in products between these and the raw material from which they come there has to be a factory the refinery is that life lesson my job is painting even the outside of all these pipes and columns in good shape i used to live here before the refinery was built on and rabbits in the brush for those are collation units are now and was much doing over in town then a lot of folks or even six of them move out but then the you know every day a lot of oil products move out of here all the time at work as one jobbers truck after another common in to get filled up while a tanker is loading in california a barge filled with home fuel has just left the refinery in louisiana and is heading slowly up river for the docks of an independent distributor you at the same time in the port of new york the s s america is taking on over eight hundred thousand gallons of bunk a few sets petroleum provides the power of about ships of peace and for our ships the war for oil power the power for our nation's power for the sea is also a power for the land more than any other country in the world america is a nation on wheels the automobile and the power behind that have been major factors in the growth of our country we can drive anywhere we wanted at any time for any reason including fun out of the city into the country down to the sea where in altogether we drive our cars a billion miles a day it seems no other people in the world want so much just to get going they have little time maybe it's just that no other people can get going so easily every hour of the day find oil men trying to make petroleum do more for  the oil scientists and research laboratories are pacesetters in the race of progress working with products still unnamed and some that are still on thought of the us with each new development of our inventive age it peaceful or otherwise the petroleum industry is faced with a host of new problems are thousands of competing oil companies invest over a hundred million dollars every year in research each company's objective is the sa discover a new product perfected and put it in production before the others do they start with competition but they create this progress with the switch to another brand of gasoline or with the purchase of a new detergent made from an oil by product a company has lost a customer and other company has gained a customer it's as simple as that but it comes down list tuesdays daylight has almost gone man tuesday is ending and the country goes to bed the tanker plowing on sixty knots on the bridge the maid is checking the cost to a port seven thousand miles away at the indian river pumping station all the grades of water in the line now pushing ahead of them the shipment the refinery needs tomorrow morning  midnight again tuesday is waned and has gone twenty four hours of progress building our nation guarding its security assuring the future
