Encouraged by the Leduc and Lloyd-
minster successes, these companies
will spend millions of dollars during
1948 in their search for new fields.
Whether or not they succeed, Cana-
da’s oil output in 1948 should set an
all-time record—possibly enough to
meet at least the demands of the
three prairie provinces. The mechan-
ized farms of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba use fifteen million
barrels of oil a year. The rising cost of
American crude oil is a big factor in
determining the price at which the
western farmer can sell his wheat and
meat to the European consumer.
So it is easy to see why Canada’s
government is. vitally interested in
boosting Canada’s oil output. The
Government hopes both to save
United States dollars and to help
Canadian farmers supply food to
Europe at fair prices.
