3. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An oil field worker in the drilling area of one of the large U.S. oil producing plants in the American Southwest stands at the side of another worker clad in an asbestos suit which is worn when oil field fires are being fought. An oil fire's intense heat and the difficulty of halting such a fire makes such equipment necessary. Wartime has served to make anti-fire precautions in oil fields and oil storage areas even stricter. Such measures contribute to the efficiency of the U.S. oil industry which is turning out an average of more than 1,500, 000,000 barrels of crude oil a year to supply the demands of war 1944?

4. America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young American aviation enthusiast, Orin Anderson, poses behind his giant model plane at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas where members of the Gas Model Club do their weekly flying. Model building has long been a major hobby of American youth, who in 1941 answered a request from the U.S. government to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train military and civilian personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. Boys who had learned the principles of model building in home and school workshops turned out scale models of fighters, scouts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes of the United Nations and of the enemy 1944?

6. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Railroad cars stand on a side track ready to receive cargoes of gasoline stored in large spherical tanks at the refinery of one of the principal U.S. oil companies. The cars will speed the gasoline across the American continent to seaports where it will be loaded onto tanker ships for conveyance overseas to the armed forces of the United Nations. Gasoline totals have reached new records since the U.S. entered the war. Besides the enormous amounts required to fuel the 180,000 planes American factories have turned out since December 7, 1941, large supplies of fuel are needed for naval vessels, merchant ships, tanks and mechanized units in the field. It takes 25,000 gallons of gasoline to move a single U.S. Army tank division 100 miles (160 kilometers) 1944?

7. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Though strict precautions against fire are taken in the oil fields and storage areas of the U.S. oil industry, a fire will now and then break out. This fire, in a midwest U.S. oil field, looks big and caused considerable damage, but it was soon brought under control. Oil fires cause extensive destruction and waste of oil and are the hardest kind of fires to extinguish. Since the U.S. entered the war, extra fire guards have been put on duty by oil plants, and stricter precautions have been taken to prevent oil conflagrations. No pains have been spared to prevent waste of oil in the industry which is working at the peak of endurance to supply lubricants and fuel for the armies, navies, and warplanes of the United Nations. The enormous drain on oil resources of the U.S. is shown by the fact that to train one American plane pilot requires 12,500 gallons of gasoline, enough to last the average U.S. civilian motorist a lifetime 1944?

8. Lee, Russell, 1903-1986 Soil erosion in the cornfield on William Keefe's farm in Benton County, Indiana. Note subsoil, and gradation to fertile topsoil from left to right. This county has the best soil in the state. This field has been in hay or pasture six out of the last sixteen years; the slope at this point in the field is three to five percent. The owner, who did not know how to stop this erosion, had followed the plan of filling in gullies by plowing until two years ago; thus this picture shows gullying on the field in two years' time. Rotating crops: corn, wheat, clover, would have stopped this erosion 1937 Feb

9. Hine, Lewis Wickes, 1874-1940 Field-workers, Amer. Sumatra Tobacco Co. The Supt. called the boys out to the end of the rows and we found 47 boys from 9 to 15 years old, all working but could not get hold of them all. The Supt. said, "We have to hire boys because we can't get men to do the work." Many of them live in Hartford, Conn., and go back and forth on the trolley

11. America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields.Two American boys give their giant model plane a running start at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas where members of the Gas Model Club do their weekly flying. The plane, which weighs eleven pounds, has a thirteen feet (3.9 meters) wing spread, and a wing area of twenty-four square feet (2.2 square meters) The plane will not take off by itself, but with a running start flies very successfully.When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train military and civilian personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modeling. These young model builders put their experience to practical use by turning out models of fighters, scouts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes of the United Nations and of the enemy 1944?

12. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geologist employed by a U.S. oil company sets up his microscopes in the field to examine a "core" of rock or earth taken from a test boring far below the earth's surface to determine the presence of absence of oil on the site. Years ago, when the oil industry was in its infancy, the "hit or miss" method of drilling for oil was the rule and thousands of drilling operations were unsuccessful. Today few wells are drilled without a preliminary survey by geologists who specialize in reading the surface of the ground and examining rock and mud samples, such as those shown in the picture, to determine how great the chances of striking oil in that particular district. The efficiency of modern U.S. methods of finding oil makes possible the enormous amounts of crude oil products being supplied to the armies and navies of the United Nations 1944?

13. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An oil truck at the plant of one of the large producing and refining companies in the eastern U.S. state of New Jersey is being filled from one of the company's large storage tanks. The oil, a limited amount destined for domestic use, represents the strict curtailment on the civilian use of automobiles in order to conserve supplies of lubricants and gasoline needed for the warplanes of the United Nations as well as mechanized equipment in the field. One four-motored U.S. Liberator bomber consumes 1,800 gallons of gasoline during an average bombing, while it takes 25,000 gallons of gasoline to move a U.S. Army tank division 100 miles (160 kilometers). The enormous drain on U.S. oil reserves imposed by war is dramatized by the fact that the nation contains no more than 15 percent of the world's proven oil deposits 1944?

17. America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. A member of the San Antonio Gas Model Club, which does its weekly flying at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas, proudly displays his amphibian model airplane, which has a six foot (1.8 meters) wing spread. When an earlier model crashed there was nothing left but one good wing. This young model enthusiast decided to build a new plane around it. He built an amphibian and turned out a perfect flying job. The plane is made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. Like millions of other young Americans who make model building their hobby, this young man will be called upon to put his practical experience in aeronautics to use in the air-minded post war world 1944?
