POULTRY PROSPECTS A special survey co&ducted by the Department of Agriculture at hatchery operations indicates that twenty per cent fewer chick ens will be raised this year than last. The Department had sug gested a cut of 7 per cent If the survey proves accurate, consum ers will feel the full effects in 1949, when there will be fewer layers, henc* fewer eggs, with correspondingly higher prices. The high cost of poultry feed is a major reason for the fanners' decision to raise fewer chicks. Germans plan rise in Ruhr coal output under six-year plan.

Last year, this country used more oil than the whole world did in 1939 ? before World War II. There are 3,000,000 more cars on the road than there were before the war. And the average motorist is using 50 more gallons of gasoline per year in his car. 25 rr more buses ? 30% more trucks ? serve you now than before the war. Farmers have doubled, their use of time-saving, work-saving trac tors, trucks, and other equipment since pre-war! 1,500,000 more home owners heat their homes with oil than in 1939. i Today, production of petroleum products has reached an all-time record high ? 61 'V greater than before the war and 12% greater than the peak year of war-time production! But you still need lots more oil. And that means new, expanded facilities for finding, producing, transporting, refining, and deliv ering more oil. And that's the job America's oil industry is working on right now ? around the clock and with sleeves rolled up! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. THE JOB AHEAD is a big job, calling for big plans and big performance. ONE BILLION DOLLARS . . . that's one thousand million dollars . . .is what this one company and its affiliates are spending in 1947 and 1948 to modernize and expand production and facilities at the greatest rate in our history. And that's only part of the story. During the next few years, reports indicate , the oil industry? as a whole? is planning to spend 13 BILLION DOLLARS to do this job. ? ?
