County Agent's Prompt Work
Prevents Motor-Oil Famine
Alertness on the part of the cuuttly
HKtmt in Umatilla county, Ureg., this
year prevented a motor-oil famine
which threatened many thousands 01
dollars In loss of crops.
bats in the spring It waa found that
due to an embargo there was little mo
tor fuel on hand for trat-tors and trucks
and that plowing could not be comple
ted. Fanners used distillate, a lower
Krade of gasoline, for tractors and for
operating the combined headers ami
threshers with which the grain erupt
are harvested. Distillate waa found to
be entirely out of the market. The
county agent appealed to several Calif
ornla oll-reltning companies, and, with
the aid of the California Stale Market
ing llureau, succeeded In having about
25 carloads of distillate shipped Into
the region.
The orders of farmers were poolea
and banks were Instructed to honor
demands on account of those in the
pool. The first shipment of 12 carloads,
or 100,661 gallons, was dlBtrlbutod
among 111 farmers In May and saved
them 19,060. During June two more
cars and July eight more cars were
distributed, making a total of 2S5,S5i
gallons of fuel. It Is estimated that
the entire savings totaled at least 115,
000. During the month of June sim
ilar service was given farmers by coun
ty agents In Morrow, Sherman, am:
Wasco counties. In these three coun
ties a total of 195,000 gallons of distil
late were secured and distributed at a
great saving. From Weekly News Let
