How is an oil well like a cow ?
In many ways the similarity between an oil well
and a cow has a great deal to do with the future
security of your children.
Both well and cow give us vital products—
petroleum and milk. But unless we withdraw
those products at an effioient rate we can ruin
our source of supply.
For it’s as economically unsound to take a
year’s supply of oil from a well in a month, as
it would be to try to obtain a year’s production
of milk from a cow in a day!
It’s equally bad economically to ?/wdcrproduce
p well or a cow. Yet, today, the American petro
leum industry is underproducing—to accom
modate the oil coming into this country from
far-off places.
Obviously, if our own industry is to maintain
its capacity to produce it has to be able to sell
its products. Whatever interferes with this
jeopardizes its ability to continue to satisfy
America’s need for oil.
Nor does it have the financial resources to
drill wells and then shut them in until needed.
You have to do business to stay in business.
What’s worse, oil from distant shores creates a
dangerous dependency. In a national emergency
it could disappear overnight. And we can’t slow
our production down too much and expect it to
be adequate when we want it.
In our opinion, there is only one safe way to
keep this nation’s rate of petroleum production
up to any challenge it may have to meet. That’s
to encourage our domestic oil industry to con
stantly find and develop new fields in the
Western hemisphere, where we can get at them if
we need them.
