Hawkins of Ralci"h. who is Area Sales Mnnagrr for Eastern North Carolina Market Prices With corn selling in certain area? of the State as low as $1.15 and with many farmers eligible for price support, through ASC at $1.65 per bushel, it would pay all farm ers to check nn nt-ire annnti-f w. ! nuirements, according to Helene W. fits that are available to them The corn loan rate for this vear's crop has been set at $1.65 and $1.40 in commercial corn counties with the support rate in non-commercial corn counties et at $1.38 per bushel. Perquimans County farmers "who plant within their acreages "allot ment, are eligible for the higher rate of $1.65 per bushel. Farthers who have planted more than their allotment but not more than their Soil Bank corn: base. may be, eligi ble for the higher support level if they devote at jeast 15 per cent of their corn base to the Soil Bank program. Otherwise, they are eli gible for a support rate of $1.40 per bushel regardless of acreage of corn planted. The $1.36 fate applies to all producers in non commercial counties. In the likelihood that the corn price will be more advantageous to farmers later in the marketing vear. it would be to the advantage of eligible farmers to place their corn in approved storaee. receivp e loan on the Corn th -ongh the ASC County Office at the applicable rate and then if prices rise suffi ciently, the farmer can still - re deem his loan and sell the corn at a profit.

For readers desiring additional explanation of the proposed. zoning' ordinance, Mi. Wilson, comparing zoning to good housekeeping Issued ' this statement: " "? 1 "Zoning is the application j of, common sense and fairness to .the public regulations govern iqj the use of individually v'wned private real estate.;. It is a painstaking, honest effort on the pari of a mu nicipal government to provide each area or district of the city as tie'ar 'y .as practical with just such prdi Section and just such liberty s ar sensible, p'nictical and fair -ih'sch particular area or district. 'Unlike building and fire codes, it avoids the error of trying to obtain- a Uqj-' formitv over the entire aren.fora city. That is, it does not attempt to, apply the same regulations $o " every part of your city as building ' and fire codes do. It takes info ' consideration the distinctive charac teristics of each section of th citv. It considers very carefully the na ture of each section as to the type of land use as is now prevalent and for which the area is best suited. Zoning gives everyone who Ijves in i, community a chance for the rea sonable enjoyment of his rights. At the same time' it protects -him from unreasonable inh-ry bv neiir'i- bors who will reek private gain, at his expense. - ' ' " "No better analosv ran hn mnHs than to consider coninr as mod housekeeping; No good bousekep-' er would allow the kitchen stbv jrf the living room, the refrigerator in the bed room, or plant spring on ions in : the1 flower frnhfon. Yt many cities do the same -sort of thing when they allow ut'.sinwsto crowd in among private dwailiiuis and factories to move in ahiori'the retail stores.
