Food and shelter are gene
rally accepted as the two main
ingredients for the safety and
well being of anyone. Natur
ally. when we think about
food, we think about agricul
ture and the vastness of the
food production system in this
country. In 1980 alone, con
sumers spent $260 billion for
foods that were produced in
this country. However, one of
the most fascinating factors
relating to that total expendi
ture is the fact that $179
billion of that amount was
spent in the process of getting
food from the farm to your
table. Therefore, when some
one makes a comment about
the "middleman" in agricul
ture, these figures surely
underscore the tremendous
expenses that are involved in
assembling, inspecting, gra
ding. storing, processing,
packaging, and subsequently
wholesaling and retailing the1
food products.
Even though such a vast
sum is spent on food products
after it leaves the farm, the
American farmer is neverthe
less a substantial consumer
and taxpayer in this country
as well as the producer of food
products. It is fascinating to
note that farmers pay about
$3.5 billion in farm real estate
taxes annually, plus another
$606 million in personal pro
perty taxes, another $3.8
billion in federal and state
income taxes, and about $344
million in sales taxes. But
since net farm income is
expected to be below the total
interest payment on farm debt
for this year, I seriously doubt
that the figure of $3.8 billion
in federal and state income
taxes will apply to 1982.
It is estimated that farm
operators spend over $130
billion for goods and services
to produce crops and live
stock. Some annual purchases
that farmers make include
$13.2 billion for farm tractors '
and other motor vehicles,
machinery, and equipment.
About 150,000 employees are
required to produce the farm
equipment alone. Another
$16.4 billion is spent for fuel,
? i i ? ? 1
lubricants, and maintenance
for machinery and motor
vehicles used in the farm
business. It may be interest
ing to know that forming uses
more petroleum than any
other single industry. Another
S22.4 billion is expended for
feed and seed while S8.6
billion is spent for fertilizers
and lime.
About five percent of the
total amount of rubber used in
the United States or 360
million pounds is utilized by
fanners to put tires on nearly
7 million automobiles and
farm implements. A stagger
ing figure comes in the
amount of electricity that
farmers use. About two per
cent of the nation's total
production of electricity, or 33
bilKon kilowatt hours, is used
annually on farms in this
country. Additionally, 6'/?
million tons of steel in the
form of farm machinery,
trucks, cars, fencing, and
building materials is used,
and farm use alone accounts
for 40,000 jobs in the steel
industry.
After reviewing these mas
sive figures, it is easy to
understand why many of the
supporting industries that de
pend heavily on agricultural
prosperity are suffering at the
present time. Certainly, as
has been written in previous
columns and is known rather
universally, overall market
prices and farm income is at
one of its lowest ebbs. There
fore, it becomes obvious that
a healthy agriculture could
significantly hfipose demand
for many products and. there
fore, would subsequently im
prove the overall economic ,
picture of this country. Cer
tainly, we hope that the recent ,
announcement of a willing- ,
nets of this country to sell 23
million metric tons of grain to
the Soviet Union will ulti
mately provide some benefits
not only to agricultural pro
ducers but to the rest of the
population as work is gene
rated to satisfy any potential
increase in demand by farm
ers.

Mrs. Lecii Brooks writes
this column of news from
Evergreen Holiness Church..
Last week. I wrote the article
for her because she was
staying in the hospital with
her son who was critically ill. i
am preparing the article for
her agdin this week. Her son
passed away on Monday.
Mrs. Brooks has lived a
number of years in a home
that from time.to time was not
a place of peace and hap
piness. Often she has re
quested prayer for her home.
She has prayed and requested
prayer time and again for her
family. She wanted to see all
members of her family saved.
So, Sister Brooks has borqe
many burdens and tribula
tions during the past few
years. Now, must be added to
those burdens a heavy burden
of sorrow. The son who
passed away on Monday was
her only living son. She loves
all her children very much,
and over the past years she
has striven to get them into
church where they may hear
the Word and may make a
decision to come to Christ.
I visited with Sister Brooks
on Saturday night in the
hospital. We found her strong
and still trusting faithfully in
the Lord. I visited with her
again on Monday evening,
some six hours after the death
of her son and after she had
returned home following
some two weeks in the
hospital where she stayed by
her son's bedside constantly
tending to him, living in and
sleeping bv his bedside. She
never left him. Monday night,
with the new burden of his
death resting upon her, she
was still resolute in faith. She
was bearing her burdens as a
brave Christian whose faith
and trust are ever established
- >; - v jffSI
in her Lord and God. Few
women have borne, or even
known, die sorrow* and har
dens she has borne over the
past years. Many women
would have yielded to Satan,
would have givdn up their
faith, or would have com
mitted some violent act
against someone or some
thing had they gone through
the valleys through which
Sister Lecia trod. But. Sister _
Lecia committed only one act:
she loved everyone she met.
She cared for her church and
for her Sunday School class.
She loved her family, her
church community. It is for
this reason that Sister Lecia is
well known in the gates of her
community. She is loved.'She
is valued as a trusting friend
and neighbor. Even at times
when the situation in her
home was so severe she could
not attend church, yet has she
not been bitter toward the
Lord, her neighbors, her
family. She has just gone on,
praying, holding up her light,
her faith, and even while
burdened as she was, she did
all she could to show her love
for her community, neighbors
and fellow Christians at Ever
green and other churches.
Pray for Sister Lecia. If she
were writing this article, she
would ask for prayer. Death is
a desolate place. A person
does not understand how
desolate it is until he or she
has walked in that place. Your
prayers will strengthen Sister
Lecia. Show her your love
when you have an oppor
tunity.
Remember also. Evergreen
Church. Remember our
homecoming. It is planned for
the second Sunday in No
vember.

I Like the cost of
almost everything else,
the price you pay for
p electricity has gone up
the past few years.
But it could have
been a lot worse.
In fact,a survey of
the average cost of resi
dential service ranked
CP&L21stoutof28 s
i Eastern cities, less than 1'over the lowest price per kilowatt hour
And, with your help we're going to keep on conserving
energy and looking for more efficient, more economical ways
to operate so that we can stay .close to the bottom of the list.
Which means we'll both get more out of our energy dollar j
