This figure was somewhat less than for 1937, but was larger than in any other year in the current decade, and probably the second largest in the history of the industry. Since 1929 the production of turkeys has increased moEie than 56 per cent from less than 17,000,000 birds in that year to more than in 1938.

Typical of the great change the petroleum industry is making in Americas economic picture is this scene of a modern petroleum tank farm which has replaced an Oklahoma wheat field of twenty years ago. industry is a young one, dating from Colonel Drakes striking oil in Pennsylvania just 80 years ago. But the industry now involves investments of some $15,000,000,000, employees numbering 750,000, and innumerable consumers, not the least of whom are the drivers of Americas 31,000,000 motor vehicles. In the value of its varied and widely used products, petroleum ranks fourth among the industrial giants of the century (steel, automobiles, meat, petroleum). The driver who pulls into a filling station and casually gives the Fill 'er up order, is tapping an industry that reaches from coast to oil wells coast, from mile-dee- p through pipe lines, refineries, chemical laboratories, tank ships and cars, large central accounting offices, to the curbstone pump of varicolored gasoline.

About 40 per cent of the 1938 crop was raised in the 12 North Central states as contrasted with only 30 per cent in 1929. Expansion of the turkey industry during the last 10 years is attributed chiefly to improvements in production and management methods which have lessened the mortality of poults and lowered production costs in competition with chickens and other meats. Production of turkeys in small farm flocks has decreased in most areas, but this has been more than offset by increased numbers of large flocks which are kept separate from other poultry and handled under improved methods of sanitation, feeding, and mar- , The rise in less than two decades of a provincial town to a not yours.
