Motorists Can Look For A Reduction Of About Ten Per Cent (Continued from page one) trucks and trailers, and quite prob ably exchange agreements, supply to the-extreme limit of their operat ing capacity, that portion of their market to the eastward Such a plan will contemplate the minimum of movement westward, and conserve for the States on the Atlantic Sea board the greatest available barrel age. "Other plans contemplate the Gulf Coast district moving an in creasing volume of products via barge and other means of transpor tation to the extreme Southern States. "In all of these plans, it has been necessary to give consideration to the petroleum requirements of the Western Hemisphere, spreading tin burden of the shortage among all countries equally. Canada and the Latin American countries are thus assuming their share of the reduc tion in petroleum supplies ^ "As a result of these many re-ad justments, you will note that it has been possible so far to call for a re duction in gasoline deliveries con templated We have great hopes that the reduction may be kept within this limit, although this we cannot1 guarantee because we cannot be cey tain of the futui?- call.- upon ,u> fur , additional tanker transportation for purposes of national defense. "It is hoped this will give you gen 1 tlemen and Governor Brought&n J some concept of what has been done up to this time, and I can assure you that plans are being developed to make further re-adjustments in the ! interest of equity to all sections of the country." On August 20th, the day after writing the letter above to Mr Bon ner. Deputy Administrator Davies i was quoted as saying that the oil , shortage had reached the acute stage , that the reserve stocks had dimin- i ished to a 10-day supply and that the !; situation was "perilous " He is fur- [4 th?r quoted as saying that the sup ply w as reduced b\ 893.000 barrels [ last week' Davies hinted that more drastic j measures than the present limited , rationing might he necessary. He al so denounced as "near-sighted pro uhets" those who had called the ^shortage "phony." j < "We must conserve gasoline stocks now to avoid a drastic shortage this ( winter, when our tankers must be!, used to haul fuel oils, unless our j . people are to be left to freeze and our ] , defense industry shut down for lack j of power." he said L "This is the beginning of the sharp ' | and serious drop in supplies that we ; j forecast Figures which Have become ; available today show that reports! that stocks on the ejst coast me ni|; firm and saf< condition are myths " j j Gasoline in storage in the Eastern!] area last week totalled 20,476.000 ' barrels, he said, of which about 14. ; 000,000 were unavailable for use be ] cause they were at the bottom of ] tanks, filled with* sludge" or in pro- . cess of refining The remainder. 6. j 476,000 barrels, constitute only a 10- ] day supply j Continuing, he gave these statis , .tics on the situation: j r.asnlmi mv> nlnri.-s.

An average daily shipment of 461.- i 500 barrels from Gulf coast points was necessary to supply the East 1 during the week that ended August | 9th. but actual daily shipments to- j tailed only 340.300 barrels. Gasqline consumption on the East j Coast is 12 per cent greater than last year Oil companies are refusing to make , contracts to provide a winter's sup ( ply of furnace oil to householders. -t In this area, local distributors es- ' . timate they have a 30-day gas sup- \ ply on hand, but that it is possible j future bulk deliveries will be reduc- < ed and that the shortage will take j on a new seriousness in early win- ' < ter. Reports state that filling sta- t tions will be allotted daily sales quo tas, that when those quotas are met. business will be suspended for the day. Despite the apparent confusion, motorists will, no doubt, find it" ad- , visable to follow the safest course i which will help forestall a serious shortage. Pleasure riders are being urged to shorten their rides, and to bacco fanners are asked to patronize their nearest market.

Martin County offi ?ers are warning tlie general public ind tobacco fanners in particular igainst fleecers or flimflaminers. A ew farmers in this county have lost airly large sums of money by "co iperating" in the old pocket book jame, and officers are anxious to 'limmate the game. The surest way :o stop the practice rests with the people. Any one asked to share in the finding of a pocket book are ask ed to notify the officefs who will in vestigate the suspicious characters. Approximately $1,000 was lifted >ff a single farmer in this county a few years ago, and while most peo ple are wise to the practice it is pos sible that the experts will pick out a victim from the crowds.

The 1" S Department of Agricul ture 1ms set the penalty rate on 1941 cot urn marketed in excess of the farm marketing quota at seven cents a pound, Tom Cornwell, Cleveland county cotton farmer and member of the State AAA committee, an nounced. The 1940 penalty rate on excess cotton was three cents a pound. The 1941 rate was provided by Congress in an amendment to the Agricultur al Adjustment Act of 1938. This leg islation set a basic cotton loan rate at 85 per cent of the parity price and provided that the penalty on mar keting excess should be one-half the loan rate. In view of the cotton parity price of 16 49 on August 1, the loan rate for 7-8 inch middling cotton is 14.02 for gross weight. Thus the penalty rate, which will apply to all excess cotton marketed this year, will be seven cents a pound, Mr. Cornwell said The Cleveland county farmer re minded that while the penalty rate has been increased just four cents a pound for violations of marketing quota provisions, the loan rate has been increased by more than five cents a pound?from 8.9 cents in 1940 to 14.02 this year.

Big Eaters Found In "Uncle's" Army At Fort Jackson (Continued from page one) by the 41,000 healthy appetites in uniform here. And just in case Mr. Ripley is in terested, the 10,320 pounds of spa ghetti to be served here would prob ably stretch around the world. What's more, the 81,000 pounds of fish for Friday menus would go far toward stocking most rivers or bays you might mention. Besides these, there are other foods too numerous to mention that are consumed at the post in large quantities. At present, the post is being fed on the field ration system which means that menus are made up by post officials for all units on the post. Coming into the post every day in freight cars are these tremendous quantities of food. It's a complicated process from freight cars to storage warehouses and then to unit kitch ens, but everything goes through without a hitch?for with 41,000 hun gry soldiers to be fed, meals are No. 1 on the priority list.
