Improvements Needed
On Nation's Farms
. COLLEGE STATION — While
industry muí business look forward
to reconvention," there are many
phases of tarni family living no
om- should aspire to return to, in
the opinion of Mm. Bernice Clay-
tor, of the A&M College Extension
Service.
She points to the lust agricul-
tiual census which showed that
nearly «o pur cent of rural farm
homes in this country had no in-
sult- toilets before the war. Eighty-
two per cent were without running
water, and about two-thirds with-
out electric lighting or power.
Mrs. Clay tor recently returned
ti >m the tiational outlook confer-
ence in Washington, D. C., which
accepted as one goal of agricul-
tural "reconversion," if there is
such, full and efficient production.
Representatives felt that parity
prices and parity income are not
sufficient. Farmers objectives also
should include parity of public
services and of facilities for rural
people, such as housing, health
services and hospitals, schools, and
rural electrification.

COLLEGE STATION — Respi-
ratory diseases in poultry result
from specific infection, says S. A.
Moore, poultry husbandman for
the A&M College Extension Serv-
ice. But pctor ventilation, dampness,
drafts, chilling and bad sanitation
may influence the severity of rate
of spreud once disease is present
in a flock.
Moore believes that since the
number of vaccines and curative
drugs are limited in scope a pre-
ventive program is the most de-
sirable. Accordingly, eradication of
the infection from a farm is of the
greatest importance. As many of
the respiratory diseases are highly
contagious it íb difficult — often
impossible — to prevent their
spread except where different units
of poultry are housed wide apart,
or do not contact each other on
range, he expluins.
Chickens are susceptible to a
group of diseases referred to col-
lectively as colds and roup. The
group includes lai'nygotracheitis,
infectious bronchitis, and infecti-
ous coryza. Larnygotracheitis,
which extends inflammation to
both the larynx anil trachea, is the
only disease of the type for which
a satisfactory vaccine is available.
Drugs are of no value for any
of the respiratory diseases except
infectious coryza when the attack
is not complicated, Moore says.

How Much Is a Billion Gallons
of 100-0efane Gasoline?

It's enough to fill 120,000
tank cars—a train 1,000 miles
long.
It's enough to fill an 8-inch pipe
lins that would circle tho earth three
times at the equator.

It's enough to fuel 400,000 Flying
Fortresses for a round trip flight
from Britain to Germany.
That's a billion gallons of 100-octcine gasoline! Bur it's more than that. It's the effort of the 14,000 men
and women of Humble Oil & Refining Company, who are today celebrating the production of the one-
billionth gallon of 100-octane aviation gasoline at Baytov/n refinery—a remarkable feat in the histury of
the petroleum industry.
It is one of the wartime contributions of the 14,000 mon and women of Humble—scientists, drillers,
roustabouts, stenographers, pipeliners, technologists., iruck drivers, geologists, glassblowers, stiJImen and
those working in hundreds of other occupations.

Here is a partial list of their ast&mplishments to date:
to produce at one refinery a billion gallons of finished 100-octane aviation gasoline.
The Baytown refinery has produced more 100-octane aviation gasoline than any other
plant in the world.
to produce synthetic toluene.
The Baytown Ordnance Works, first to synthesiz- toluene from petroleum, has supplied
the toluene for at least one out of every two bombs used by the United Nations since Pearl
Harbor.
in the production of crude oil.
Humble Oil & Rcrining Company ¡¿ the nei:o~ largest producer of crude oil, and is
currenily supplying about one-fourth of the increased production required for war as
measured by the gain since 1941.
in the trans-srfcetien of petrolr;rm.
The Humble pipe iines transport mo.e oil than any other system, handle one barrel
in ev. ry seven of ¡he domestic supply.
These accomplishments climax a quarter ceniury of development, planning and team work
of a great organization. The men and women who made them possible are behind the billion gallons
of 100-octane aviation gasoline. They are behind whatever America needs of them for victory.
