Ag Revolution
In The 80s?
CHICAGO Current ris
ing energy prices could
spawn a new agricultural
revolution in the 1980 s, Dep
uty Secretary of Agriculture
Jim Williams said recently.
Speaking at the North
American Agricultural
Lenders Conference, Wil
; liams said rising energy
prices will mean a drop in
the demand for energy and
*for greater efficiency by
farmers.
“This, in turn,” Williams
said, “could put us on the
edge of an agricultural revo
lution in which production is
increasingly based on agri
culture’s own renewable en
ergy supplies.”
Williams said, “Agricultu
ral production uses about
three percent of the nation’s
total energy consumption.
Yet on that three percent de
pends the nation’s supply of
food and fiber. Because 93
percent of the energy used in
agricultural production is
petroleum-based, farm fuel
costs have risen nearly 400
percent since the 1973 em
bargo by the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Coun
tries.

IRS Opens Problem
Solving Phone Line
The federal Internal Reve
nue Service has started a
special Problem Resolution
Program to help taxpayers
who have been unsuccessful
in working out their prob
lems through normal IRS
channels.
The IRS says the PRP is
not meant to replace routine
methods. It urges taxpayers
to try them at least once be
fore going to the PRP.
Contact the PRP by call
ing the IRS assistance num
ber in the telephone
directory.
The PRP is special, the
IRS says, because it has the
authority to cut red tape.
PRP usually provides per
sonal attention to each tax
payer who uses it. If the
Park To Give Photo
Class Oct. 6-Nov. 10
The Cumming Recreation
and Parks Department is of
fering a six-week course in
beginning photography
which will run Oct. 6 through
Nov. 10 on Monday evenings
from 7-9 p.m. at the old gym
on School Street.
George Marchbanks, who
has taught photography for
the past three years for the
park, will be the instructor.
He is widely experienced in
nature, under water, com
mercial and technical pho
tography. His work has been
published in “National Geo
graphic,” “National Audu
bon” and by the United
Press International. March
banks received his training
from Brooks Institute in Cal
ifornia.
This course is designed to
prevent common mistakes
which cause poor pictures.
Instruction will include cam
equipment and changes in
farm production practices
to maintain or increase pro
duction while using less en
ergy,” he said.
Williams said American
agriculture in this decade
will also react directly to
government investments in
national energy security and
government dollars chan
nelled directly into agricul
ture.
“Under the comprehen
sive national energy pro
gram developed by this
administration,” Williams
said, “the government is
backing farmers with an
ambitious program of loans
and loan guarantees to meet
specific energy goals.”
Among these goals are the
production of 60,000 barrels
a day of alcohol from agri
cultural products by the end
of 1982 and a six-fold in
crease in the national pro
duction of gasohol by the end
of 1981.
Because the government
is stimulating the demand
for borrowed money and is
making the production of en
ergy economically attrac
tive, Williams predicted and

tal by the agricultural sector
in the 1980 s.
taxpayer’s problem is not
solved after five days, the
PRP keeps him informed of
any progress.
The PRP deals mostly
with things like missing or
dealyed refund checks,
mixed up social security
numbers, incorrect billings,
taxpayer errors, un
answered correspondence
and the like.
Some problems are be
yond the scope of the PRP’s

Also, it can not handle Free

THE RIGHT WOOD
Choosing the right kind of
wood for your fireplace is
just as important as choos
ing the right gasoline for
your automobile, say Exten
sion Service foresters. They
recommend ash, oak, birch
or hickory. These woods give
high heat and low smoke,
and have easy-burning
qualities. Elm, gum, yellow
poplar and sycamore pro
duce lower heat, but they
can be used when better
wood is not available.
