A simple graph is called semisymmetric if it is regular and edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. Let p be an arbitrary prime. Folkman proved [Regular line-symmetric graphs, J. Combin. Theory 3 (1967) 215–232] that there is no semisymmetric graph of order 2p or 2p. In this paper an extension of his result in the case of cubic graphs of order 20p is given. We prove that there is no connected cubic semisymmetric graph of order 20p or, equivalently, that every connected cubic edge-transitive graph of order 20p is necessarily symmetric.
