Census Information
Extremely Useful
The North Carolina Department
of Conservation and Development
has found the information compiled
from the annual State Farm Cen
sus to be extremely useful in a
number .of ways, says F. H. Cla-
ridge, state forester.
He says the Division of Com
merce and Industry has foupd farm
figures assembled from the census
to be essential in its daily contacts
with representatives of industry.
In fact this knowledge may even
determine the location of a factory
or supply store or may affect the
distribution of materials needed by
farmers. " '
A concrete example of this was
the location of a meat packing
plant at Clinton after accurate fig
ures showed the ready availability
of hogs for use by the plant.
In addition; the Division of For
estry refers to the annual farm
census for N;he latest figures con
cerning land use on farms. Such
information helps this division to
locate the areas which are most in
need of assistance in farm forestry
and to assign technically trained
foresters , to assist farmers with
their woods problems. s r
Tar Heel farmers have been ask
ed by agricultural leaders to co
operate with the 1955 State Farm
Census .which -got underway earlier
this month. This census provides
annual county statistics on agricul
ture in greater geographic detail
and at more frequent intervals
than the Federal Census conducted
every five years.

Sale of Tags Lagging
According to Miss
Goldie Layton
According to Miss Goldie Layton,
branch manager of the Carolina
Club, who issues North Carolina au
tomobile license plates, reports that
motorists are somewhat lagging in
securing the 1955 plates.
Up to Monday-of this week 418
more : had purchased the 1955 li
cense tags than last year at the
same time, but Miss' Layton points
out that there are more automo
biles in the Edenton area than last
year, so that unless sales pick up
considerably, quite a few will be
caught in a long waiting line. , v
Miss Layton also points out that
Monday, January 81, will be ,the
deadline to drive cars without the
new! 1955 tags and that her office
will close at noon Saturday, Janu
ary 29. Regular office hours are 6
A. Mn to 4 P. M., except Saturday
and she urges car owners to se
cure their license tags before the
final days before the deadline,
