Ten Thousand Wells Ignite Illinois Oil Boom
By the time this appears in print there will be 10 000 oil wells in the new Illinois pools with a combined flow near 400 000 barrels of petroleum per day. This surpasses Germany's oil supply despite its control of eastern Europe. The Caucasus fields rival Illinois output, while the Dutch East Indies produce a fraction of Illinois oil, which remains under 4 10 percent of the nation total. These figures are interesting and comforting.

Food Production Program Stresses Swine Sanitation
Illinois farmers are urged to emphasize sanitation for fall pig crops to ensure strong starts as pork and lard prices rise for defense needs. The main risk is roundworm, and strict hygiene can shield young pigs in early weeks. The McLean county sanitation system is recommended by E T Robbins of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, with many farmers already adopting it.
