Big Increase in
Oil Refineries

The oil refining capacity OF the
United States has increased SlS per
cent in sixteen years. according TO the
American Petroleum Institute. The
increase has been brought about by
the demand created 10y the internal
combustion engine.
In 1906, the refineries Of the United
States. running to capacity, could
handle about 2l9 .0OO barrels OF crude
petroleum day. The principal de
mand was Tor kerosene. Gasoline was
byproduct and only about 5000 900
barrels OF Il were produced during the
entire year.
On January OF this year, the refin'
cry capacity was over 100000 barrels
day. The principal demand is for
gasoline which. according TO the latest
official figures. was produced during
July at the rate OF about O,OO0, 600
barrels a year.
The present refinories In Mexico
alone have a capacity nearly as great
as the refneries in this country had
sixteen years ago.

HOW TO KEEP
BOY ON FARM
Being TRIED
Noble County Farm Agent Is
Making Farm Attractive
for Growing Youth
BY Club Work.

PERRY -- The problem of keeping
the boy and girl on the farm in Noble
county is being worked out with a
mazing success through the efforts of
farm and home demonstration agents
in the forming of boys and girls clubs
and interesting men and women of to-
morrow in farm life by the promotion
of production of farm crops and ac-
cumulations of livestock and poultry
that they may call their own. No
longer does the boys calf become dads
COW. for the Noble county boy is be-
coming independent OF his fathers
bounty through his own efforts, in
spired by club work and backed by
finances of Perry business men.
Endless Chain Fund Supplied
A year ago, under the direction of
the county farm agent, was formed
the endless chain pig club Twenty
business men of Perry put up $50
each rs Il fund from which club mer>
bers could borrow for the purchase
OF pure-bred registered sows At the
end OF one year the boys were given
their choice Of returning the money
with interest, or cancelling their debt
with two young sows, raised from the
one purchased with borrowed money
The first year, fifty boys entered
the cDlb many " them borrowing
from the fund to get their start. Now
the club membership is we'll over
100, and in practically every case, the
boy club members reside on farms
where purebred hogs had been un-
known The plan has been highly
successful and to date there has not
been a single case reported where the
member has not been in position

an excellent profit for his investment
and years work.
500 Purebred Hogs Added
The boys pig club. under the direc-
ton of s. +. Laird, its organizer, and
T.. r. Horton, present county agent has
added approximately 500 head of reg
istered. purebred hogs to Noble coun-
~ farms during the year.

That girls take as active an interest

and sometimes prove more efficient,
