President of the Cherokee County Farm Bureau, Glienke hopes to produce enough alcohol for testing in small engines on his farm this summer. Farm Bureau News Service Energy costs 'led the in farm cost way production last year. Taken together, all fuel and energy costs in- creased by 53 percent last year. Diesel fuel alone rose by 83 percent. It isnt hard to see why farmers are as sensitive as anyone, and more than most, about energy. Fifty years ago when horses and mules were the power units for the nation's farm work, farmers grew their own Aiel. They used about one third of their acreage to feed the work horses. Today, with energy soaring and the nation having become costs dependent on petroleum, half of which we have been importing from the enterprising cartel known as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), many farmers are starting to think once again about of the possibility producing their own fuel. The byword of this thinking so far has been caution. Many questions remain unanswered about the possible use of alcohol as a fuel alter- native. However, each increase in the price of oil brings us closer to the reality of alcohol as a replacement for at least some of our petroleum fuel. the inefficiency. alcohol a day running Two farmers that are their still about three doing something about it days a week. on their own. are Ernie Glienke from Aurelia,, Everett and Iowa That is a far cry from energy but they are learning and they hope to produce enough alcohol with using which to run small Christensen from Powell, Wyoming. men are These producing ethanol on a y, . uses production fuel it takes 130 petroleum B.T.U.s of energy to 100 B.T.Uj of produce alcohol.

The upper ages of the curfew, as Soren remembers then, were about 18 years for the boys and 16 years for the girls. If one disobeyed the curfew, they would stick you in jail for the night and let you out in the morning.
