PLENTY, INSTEAD OF STORAGE,
PREDICTED

Our people are being propaganda
ed to convince them that we will be
out of oil in Ia years, or some other
imaginary period of time. The same
type of predictions were made during
the last world war. If they had been
true, this nation would have been
out of oil long ago. Instead, we pro-
duced more oil than ever in the past
twenty years.
Commenting on this situation,
Eugene Holman vice-president OF
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, points out that the 4 years
supply idea is arrived at by taking
the figure proved for United States
reserves, 10000, 100000 barrels, and
dividing it by the country's annual
consumption, about l " billion bar
rels. Rarely in the country's history
have proved resources been more
than IA times the annual consump-
ton.
"The trouble with this computa-
tion," he said, sis that it assumes
no new oil is going to be found in
America. The fact is we are still find
ing considerable quantities, and ge
ologists agree there are still huge
quantities undiscovered beneath this
land of ours.
sit is true that we are not finding
new oil at the rate we were finding it
before the war But this is largely a
reflection of reduced drilling activi
ties due to wartime shortage-and a
ceiling price-which frequently does
not cover the cost of finding oil +. .
Engineers have already demon
strated that we can derive synthetic
crude oil at reasonable cost from the
great reserves of natural gas and the
tremendous deposits of oil shale, of
tar sands and of coal and Ignite in
the United States and Canada. !. :.
1--WE can continue to lead the way
to greater production of oil To
do this we. :. must have the intelli-
gent cooperation of our political lead
ers, and wisdom in our diploma
cy. Above all, we must have freedom
of competition F.. Competition is a
corollary of freedom and oil is also
a product of competition"

The fact that nearly 5000 carloads
of fruit and vegetables were shipped
by express to all parts of the coun-
try during 1943, is no miracle to con
temporary consumers. But to the pic
neers of hundred years ago who
were acquainted with nothing more
speedy than horse, the spectacle of
a modern refrigerated express cal
loaded with delicacies rolling at six
ty miles an hour across deserts and
mountains. would have been over
whelming-the work of Gods from
another world.
The miracle of refrigerated express
is not creation of super men, but
merely the work of the American
business men. 1t is only one of thou
sands of miracles that make the Uni
ted States good place to live Dur
ing the next hundred years, thou
sands more such miracles will be Gre
ated by the same kind of men-pro-
viding this country remains a land
in which men are free to create mir
acles.

MARYLAND CROP REPORT

Based on conditions as of May l,
the Maryland 1914 wheat crop is es-
timated at 7,934,0O0 bushels the
largest crop since 1938-according
to the Maryland Crop Reporting
Service. April, 1914, weather was
cool and wet. Rainfall was not only
above average but very frequent, in
terfering with preparation of land
and planting. The cool wet weather
favored the growth of winter grains
and pasture but retarded somewhat
the early growth of asparagus and
strawberries and other spring crops
On May l, the crop season was a
week or two later than normal AS
April closed, farm work was contin-
uing at rapid rate. Fruit crop pros
poets were very good on May l.

WEEDS COMPETE WITH CROPS

Keeping the weeds down is the
most important part of cultivation,
say garden specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. To get
weeds out of rows of seeding plants
it may be necessary to do some weed
ing with the fingers instead of with
a rake or hoe. Killing the weeds
when they are small makes the job
easier and gives the plants a better
CHANGE from the start.
