Texans have a natural interest in the oil industry,
which is so important in our State, and in the progress made
since Oil Progress Week was last observed.
Here are a few quick facts: ^
New Wells—During the twelve months
endifig August 31, 1952, the Texas oil
industry drilled 17,000 new wells, at a
cost of over $700 million. Most of the
heavy expense of drilling these new wells
was paid from earnings plowed back into
the development of the State’s oil re-
sources.
Transportation — The total mileage of
Texas’ trunk pipe lines for oil and finished
products is over 29,000. This low-cost
transportation system is a major factor in
the maintenance of the low prices you
pay for petroleum products.

Humble Pipe Line Co. operates 5,895
miles of trunk lines for oil and finished
products, which had transported a daily
average of 722,600 barrels in the year
ending August 31,
Production—Production has reached a
record level. Texas currently is producing
about 46 per cent of all the crude oil pro-
duced in the U. S. In the year ending
August 31, Texas production totaled
about 1,015 million barrels. There are no|v
133,800 producing oil wells in Texas.
Reserves — Proved oil reserves in Texas
of 18 billion barrels represented 57 per
cent of the U. S. total at the beginning
of 1952. During 1951, the last year for
which figures are available, proved re-
serves increased two billion barrels. These
are developed oil reserves and the figure is
important: developed reserves supply our
needs currently and provide reserve ca-
pacity that is immediately available when
we need it.
Refining —The Texas refineries will have
a big year. They now employ, in round
numbers, 46,000 Texans, and process
about 28% of all the oil refined in the
U. S. The daily refining capacity of all
Texas refineries exceeds 2,000,000 barrels.
A program to expand and improve these
facilities has been general throughout the
industry.
Taxes — The Texas oil industry continues
to be the largest tax-payer in the State.
Through the year ending August 31, gross
production taxes alone on Texas oil and
natural gas amounted to more than $137
million; in addition, the industry pays
large amounts in other taxes.
In brief, the Texas oil industry during the past year -
continued to do its part in meeting the demand for oil. It ha$
expanded pipelines tc/ provide low-cost transportation.
It has improved facilities for making more and better
, petroleum products for your use. Today, two gallons of
gasoline do work chat required three gallons in 1925> and tti€
gasoline costs no more than it did then.

The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner, seems to be in an
advisory mood this week, his
letter reveals. It’s his advice,
not ours. ^
Dear editar:
While there hasn’t been any
Presidential or even Vice Pres-
idential candidates made any
whistle stops out here at Peach
Creek so far in the campaign,
interest is runnin pretty high
in the race and while it hasn’t
caused any stand-still in my
farmin operations, they came to
a stand-still long before the
campaign started and will be
that way long after it’s over,
people are doin a lot of discus-
sion of the campaign issues, on
the grounds I guess that some-
body should, if the candidates
don’t the people ought to, and
after listenin for several days
I don’t mind sayin I have no
dea which candidate is gonna
win.
In this particular case l think
it’s a fairly
happy situation
because I don’t
care what the
candidates say
I don’t believe
either one is as
bad as the oth-
er says he is, in
fact, I think
both parties could have gone a
short ways and done a lot worse
in the matter of selectin can-
didates. The way it looks ®out
here, the country ain’t gonna
be in bad shape for a President,
County Fair

Opens Thursday
—o—
The annual Guadalupe Coun-
ty Fair opens a three-day run
on Thursday, October 16, with
officials at Seguin predicting
that the 1952 Fair will be “the
best ever.”
Nightly rodeo performances
will be a feature attraction of
the 1952 Guadalupe County
Fair. Bob Estes of Baird will
stage thexRCA approved rodeo
on the nights of October 16-17-
18. At the Thursday night per-
formance the Guadalupe Coun-
ty Fair Queen will be crowned,
and on Saturday night the fam-
ous Bexar County Sheriff’s
Posse will perform. The rodeo
will be staged in the new rodeqg*
arena at Seguin’s Fairgrounds.
\ gigantic parade will open
the Fair on Thursday afternoon,
October 16, at 2 PM. As for the
Fair itself, large number? of

regardless of which one wins,
but after he gets elected the
fight ain’t over, the big battle
will be whether or not he can
win out over Congress, and I
have been thinkin.
Just in case he wins, I would
like to give some free advice to
Eisenhower, although this
ain’t sayin he’s gonna win. I
couldn’t any more tell you
which one is gonna win than I
could tell you which way the
dish water is gonna go the next
time my wife opens the back
door.
But just say he’s elected. I
would like to tip him off that
Congress is a little different
from the army. They just ain’t
familiar with military courtesy
in that outfit. They don’t rec-
ognize much rank. You can is-
sue an order to em, but you
don’t see any salutin or hear
any heels snappin together,
as he sits there blowin smoke
rings and makin up his own
mind, and when you consider
there is a whole hall full of
Congressmen and each one
claims he has a mind of his
own, don’t make any difference
how many different people con-
tributed to his Christmas card
fund, you can see you got a dif-
ferent outfit on your hands
from a military establishment.
There are a lot of other point-
ers I could give but I will wait
and see how the election comes
out. In case Stevenson wins, I
will be glad to give him advice
history.
F. ‘W. (Jack) Stewart, man-
ager of the Seguin and Guada-
lupe Chamber of Commerce and
secretary of the Fair Associa-
tion, said this week that the
carrrval atmosphere will pre-
vail in Seguin during the Fair.
Seguin extends a cordial wel-
come to all of our neighbors for
this big event,” Stewart said.
too. How’re you fixed for ad-
vice yourself?
Yours faithfully,
