ron TO PUT IN YOUR CROP! 



Today an emergency- exists in petroleum fuels. ... 

 The demand for these fuels exceeds all possible supplies. - .. 

 Never before in the nation's historj' have we produced pe- 

 troleum products in such great volume— production greatly • 

 exceeds even the peak war years. However, demand has 

 been growing even faster than production. As a result there ' 



just will not be all the fuel wanted by everybody whenever 

 they may want it. 



: Your company is doing its best to obtain adequate sup- 

 plies to meet your farming needs and will continue to serve 

 you to the best of its ability. Your petroleum salesman ' 



hopes to supply you with an amount of "farming fuel" 

 equal to that of last year. Unless you save it for that pur- . 

 pose, both you and your salesman may be embarrassed in 

 the middle of the spring planting season. 



We sincerely urge you to: 



. , I. Accept early deliveries of your spring allotments- ' 



and save them for the Jarrniug season. They are your.

4. Avoid waste in any form. 



" V Conservation seems to be the most practical means farm- 



;; • ers can use to aid in solving this problem. Farmers must y . 

 conserve fuel if they are to have the gallonage so vital in 

 present day farming operations. If everyone "conserves a 

 little," there may be "enough for all."
