FARM-CITY WEEK
NOVEMBER 22-28
TO people in rurai areas, iiie
question of where our food comes
from is quite a simple one. Unfor-
tunately too many people in urban
ares it is a very difficult one.
The focus of Farm-City Week is to
promote a better understanding
between Farm and City People and
increasing the knowledge and ap-
preciation of each for the American
way of life.
One out of every 35 Texans is a
Farmer or Rancher. A much
greater percentage is involved with
the retail businesses involved with
agriculture production and selling
of food and fiber products In fact,
25 percent of the state’s businesses
are so involved.
Agriculture is also heavily in-
volved with the economics of our
state. Last year’s cash receipts for
Texas Agricultural sales were
about $9.7 billion dollars. Economic
activity generated from these
marketings exceeded $35 billion,
i he average investment per farm
was almost $600,000 dollars. Many
of the commercial, full-time
operators have over $i miiiiuu
Thanksgiving Popular Time
For Travel, Says AAA Data
Thanksgiving, the single largest
traveled holiday weekend of the
year, will see 29 million Americans,
12 percent of the United States
population, travel by auto, light
truck, or recreational vehicle. The
American Automobile Association
reported today. Another five
million Americans will travel by
air, bus, or rail making the total of
34 million Americans, 14 percent of
the population traveling during the
holiday weekend. Travels for
Thanksgiving 1985 is up nearly 20
percent compared to the same
holiday weekend last year. In 1984,
28 million Americans traveled
during Thanksgiving weekend, 24
million by auto, light truck, or
recreational vehicle. The research
data are based on a National
telephone proability survey of 1,000
adult respondents conducted in
early September by the Travel
Data Center. The Data Center con-
ducts special research for AAA.
AAA said the largest number of
auto, light truck, and recreational
vehicles traveling this weekend will
’ come from the following regions:
East and North Central, 5.9 million;
Pacific, 4.8 million; South Atlantic,
4.3 million; and Middle Atlantic, 4.1
million.
dollars invested in their operations.
One farfn worker today provides
food and fiber for 80 people ami
creates jobs for more than five non-
farm people who produce the things
farmers need and who process,
transport, and merchandise the
crops farmers harvest.
American agriculture is the
world's largest commercial in-
dustry with assets exceeding $1
trillion. This industry employs
nearly 23 million people, a full 22
percent of Americas total labor for-
ce.
Farm and city dwellers make a
good team in the production and
utilization of farm products. With
such an interdependence it would
seem wise that one support the
other.
A heavy dew is actually the portent
of good weather. On cloudless
nights the earth loses its heat more
rapidly, and a heavier dew results.

SESCO Asks Increase
Southwestern Electric Service
Company filed on Nov. 22, an ap-
plication to change rates with all
towns served by the company and
with the Public Utility Commission
of Texas at Austin
This proposed increase would
amount to approximatley 3.78 per-
cent on the company’s total annual
revenue.
SESCO’s last application for an
increase in its base rate schedules
was presented on March 4. 1983,
about 31 months prior to this ap-
plication. The resultant order in
Docket 5044 by the PUC from that
application authorized an increase
of 2.3 percent and became effective
July,1983
Stone and Webster Management
Consultants, Inc., was consulted by
Company in preparing the ap
plication in accordance with the
Public Utility Regulatory Act and
tiie Rules and Procedures as adop-
ted by the Public Utility Com-
mission.
The application as filed would
provide the Company with an in-
crease in annual revenue of 3.70
percent and is applicable to all
customer classes.
The Company spokesman said
that increases in expenses such as
materials, supplies, payroll, in-
surance and property taxes over
