Farmers Use Twice Oil-Driven
Horsepower That Factories Do
ATLANTA.? American farmers
'his year will use twice as much
oil-driven horsepower as the
otal 6uch power consumed in
the nation's factories, accord
ng to T. E. Horton, southeast
ern district chairman of the Oil
Industry Infoimation commit
tee.
He reported that tractors, en
:ines, and trucks on farms now
?each a new record of 178,000,
100 horsepower. This recent es
imate by the U. S. Department
if Agriculture is about twice the
imount of oil-driven power con
sumed in factories annually, he
;aid.
If farm automobiles are in
cluded in the total, the median,
teal energy put to labor-saving
work on farms will exceed ail
industrial power consumption
many times over, he noted. Mr
Horton pointed out also that
he numoer of faim automobiles
sxceeded the number of horses
on the farms in 1950 for the
first time in history.

No. 2
roads, Raleigh.
The commissioners also ap
proved road petitions on the
Bowery road, and the Little
Yellow Mountain road, and for
warded the petitions to E. L.

Mrs. Ella Peek was appointed
registrar of the Sugarfork town
ship to serve the remainder of
the unexpired term of Mrs. Faye
M. Mashburn, resigned.
No. 4
instance has the full quota
been raised In the initial mem
bership campaign.
As a result, the campaign
chairmen have had to spend
much time, over a period of
months, on the project.
Members of the committee
expressed the view that it is
unfair to ask so much of any
one person? and this year they
have been unable to find any
person who has sufficient time
to agree to take over the
chairmanship.
The proposal worked out by
the committee is twofold.
It is proposed, first, to charge
each school child attending the
children's concert a quarter. It
is felt that most children who
wish to attend can raise that
! amount. The school authorities
have approved this plan and
agreed to cooperate ? and it is
estimated that this would raise
between $200 and $300.
The second half of the proj
ect calls for the underwriting,
by 25 business houses or in
dividuals, of $25 each of the
cost of bringing the orchestra
to Franklin. Then, instead of
| holding a long-drawn-out mem
1 bership solicitation campaign,
memberships would be made
available, at any time, to those
who wished them, or they could
buy their memberships at the
door the night of the concert
here. In the event membership
receipts, plus receipts from the
children's concert, were insuffi
cient to pay for bringing the
orchestra here, each underwrit
er would be called on for his
proportionate share of the def
icit.
The charge for the two con
certs is $850. Of this total, $76 ?
an overage left from last year's
membership campaign ? is on
hand. If the children's concert
raised $250, that would leave
only $525 to be raised in mem
berships. That amount compares
with $826 raised last year.
Since no one is available to
conduct a long campaign, how
ever, the committee members
feel that the only way the con
certs can be assured this year
is through the plan of under
writing.
Business houses or individuals
who are willing to help bring
the orchestra here by under
writing the event, by up to $25
or more each, are asked to call
i The Press office and sign a
| form drawn for the purpose. If
a total of $625 is underwritten
