Crop Farmers' Efficiency
Seen A s Key In Cutting
Fuel Use In Next Decade
The average crop farmer in
the United Ktutes probably will
be using about 1'" less fuel by
11)85. although he'll be planting
more acreage
And this agricultural sleight
of hand will come about as a
result of farmers' increased ef
ficiency, says a study Just re
leased by the USDA's Economic
Research Service
Thanks to big gains expected
in production per acre, U.S.
farmers will have to increase
total acreage only 1° « over the
next decade to meet our needs
for crop foods and fibers. Ad-
vancement in crop yields can be
credited to improved seed vari
eties, anil more efficient use of
fuel and fertilizers
Biggest fuel saving t rend seen
by the study is the switch from
gasoline to diesel fuel Three
quarters of a gallon of diesel
fuel will do the work of a gal-
lon of gasoline.
While diesel accounted for
28" of the fuels used for farm
mi; in 1973. research e> ono

40'" and climbing by 1985. This
could result in a 4'o reduction
Herndons Attend State
Bicentennial Meeting
Mr. and Mrs. G.P. Herndon,
Jr., General Co ■ Chairmen of
the Bastrop Bicentennial
Committee, were official dele
gates to the two day planning
convention of American Revo-
lution Bicentennial Commission
(A K B C) of Texas, held August
8 9 in San Antonio.
Some 300 Bicentennial plan
ners from across the state
attended sessions on program
planning, citizen participation,
funding, and media Discussion
sessions focused on projects
underway in the more than 300
Texas communities and count
ies as part of the Bicentennial
Community Program.
Senator John G. Tower of
Wichita Falls was the keynote
speaker at the convention.
Others on the program included
Joe Dobal, Washington, D.C.
and Dr. S.L. Abbott of Dallas,
both with the American
Revolution Bicentennial Ad
ministration.
Also addressing the sessions
were representatives from
several state agencies including
Parent - Teacher Association,
Texas State Teachers Associa-
tion, Texas Education Agency
and the Library Association.
in over all fuel requirements if
there are no other changes in
patterns; of fuel use.
Another key to fuel efficiency
is the trend toward reduced
tillage practices Rising costs
of labor and fuel have prompt-
ed many farmers to till less
before planting wherever possi-
ble, thus saving energy
Reduced tillage has gone over
big with corn farmers The
study estimates the cutback in
groundbreaking could drop
corn's preharvest fuel require-
ments from the present eight
gallons per acre to as little as
three.
Similar practices also are
working in cotton production.
By 1985, researchers say re-
duced tillage will be the rule on
about 40 of cotton acreage in
the Mississippi Delta. Appala-
chian. and Southeast regions
That could mean a fuel savings
of over 10° i' per acre.
Farmers in those areas plant
nearly half the nation's total
cotton acreage and produce a
larger proportion than that.
The ERS reports says they
could be practicing reduced till-
age on as much as 60" o of their
cotton acreage not too long
after 1985.
While researchers found nu-
merous factors that, will spell
lower fuel requirements in the
next decade, they also turned
up added demands to offset the
savings. For corn, these in-
cluded new harvesting meth-
ods. added irrigation, and in-
creased crop drying
Added fuel demands for irri-
gation vary considerably
among crops. Irrigated areas
lor corn, cotton, and fruit de
mand 50' - more fuel than non-
irrigated areas It takes three
times more fuel to raise sor-
ghum on irrigated land than on
non-irrigated, and twice as
much to grow alfalfa, soybeans,
and wheat.
While the net fuel savings for
the average crop farmer will
still come out at about 1 ,, live
stock producers will need
about 5' ■■■ more fuel tn 1985.

Handling
SS Checks
People who live in Texas are
getting a special opportunity to
have their monthly social
security and supplemental
security income checks de-
posited directly in their
checking or savings accounts,
according to Ed M. Bowers,
social security district manager
in Austin.
The direct deposit program is
entirely voluntary. People who
want their social security and
supplemental security income
checks to continue coming to
their homes shouldn't do
anything. Their checks will
keep on coming as in the past.
But people who want their
checks mailed to a bank,
savings bank, savings and loan
association or similar institu
tion or a Federal or State
chartered credit union can
arrange for it with a direct
deposit authorization form.
Direct deposit information is
being mailed with checks that
will be delivered in August, to
people who get monthly social
security or supplemental
security income payments. The
direct deposit authorization
form - SF -1199 -• is available
at financial organizations.
Completion of the form does
not permit withdrawals from
your account by anyone other
than people you authorize.
People whose checks are
already being mailed to a
financial organization need to
complete the form SF 1199.
The direct deposit program will
help prevent loss and theft of
social security and supplemen-
tal security income checks and
will eliminate standing in line to
cash or deposit your checks.
An Expression
Of Appreciation
The members of the Histori
cal Society wish to thank the
many individuals who helped to
make their part in the
Homecoming a big success.
A special thanks to Mr. and
Mrs Bill Henerson who
furnished the wagon on which
General Robert E. Lee, Mrs.
Lee and his faithful servant
rode. This entry took a first
place of which we are very-
proud. General and Mrs. Lee
were represented by Mr. and
Mrs. Eustiss Cargill of Gid-
dings. Others on the wagon
were Mrs. J.P. Zinn, first
vice president of the society,
Mrs. O.E. Glenn, president, and
t hanks to Gary Jefferson for his
help in making our float
complete.
Also a special thanks to the
First National Bank for helping
us to sell tickets and for serving
refreshments during the after
noon.
There were also many silent
workers, such as hostesses who
served in the opened homes,
antique shops, and at the
Museum.
The old kitchen of yesterday
was well received by the public
and we had many compliments.
It required the combined
efforts of many volunteers
including O.E. Glenn, who
rehung the old bell which once
called the slaves to dinner.
Richard Hawkins and Mr.
Johnny Zinn deserve many
thanks for securing buses, bus
drivers, and speakers for the
conducted bus tour of Medallion
Homes and other historic sites
in and around Bastrop.
A bouquet of flowers to Effie
Sharp who served as chairman
for the Tour of Homes on
Sunday. August 3rd. Although
she holds down a full time job ni.
the Court House eight hours a
day, five days a week, she very
capably supervised all the
duties of this position.
In her spare moments she
also made all of the programs
and other ditto work necessary
for an undertaking of this kind.
Another very able member of
her family was her son, Reid
Sharp, who served as photo
grapher. So many thanks to
everyone, including those who
helped make signs and the
Advertiser who pushed the
publicity every week.
The Historical Society also
sponsored an entry in the
Children's Parade. Thursday,
July 31st. which took second
place. Our thanks to Mrs. Glenn
Goertz, Mrs Tommy Barrett,
Mrs. Jim Glenn and the
children that participated.
l.ast, but not least the
Society is indeed grateful to
Mr. and Mrs. J.V, Gregg. Mr.
and Mrs. G.P. Herndon. Mr
and Mrs. 11. E. DuBou, and '.he
Henry Bells for opening their
homes to the public, and to the
two :"lurches that were opened
for the occasion. This entails
much work thought and
expense.
