Lenoir Countians Spending More on Automobiles Thon They Do on Food How are residents of Lenoir County spending their money these days? How much of their shopping dollar goes for food, cars, clothes, furniture and other pur chases in local retail stores? According to figures for the past year, which have just be come available through a new consumer market study, most of them had more money at their command and they appeared to have no reluctance about spend ing it. The findings are based upon a nationwide survey made by the Standard Rate and Data Service to determine how fami lies in each section of the coun try spend their retail dollar, and for what. In Lenoir County, it is shown, stores selling food and automo tive equipment captured a large share of the* market. Together, they attracted 39 per cent of all retail businesses in the local area. Food purchases alone, in bak eries, grocery stores, super-mar kets, butcher shops and the like added up to $14,953,000, an in crease over the prior year’s $14, 370,000, an increase over the prior year’s $14,370,000. These purchases, which a mounted to 17 percent of all re tail business locally, covered on ly food bought for home con sumption. Not included is money spent in lunchrooms, restaurants and other dining and drinking emporia. Just how much the take-home food cost, on a per-family basis, was arrived'at by dividing the total expenditure by the number of liiafiies. It came to $943 per family. The report shows that auto mobile, t ■' : motorcycles, boats and related equipment accounted for $18, 994.000, as against the previous year’s $19,069,000. Market strength was also in evidence in most other retail lines. Variety shops and department stores carrying general mer chandise grossed $10,805,000, compared with the former total of $10,360,000. Apparel shops, including those selling shoes, hats, underwear and outer garments, had re ceipts of $6,927,000. Their pre vious total was $6,534,000. Sales of furniture and other home furnishings came to $4, 679.000, as against the prior year’s $4,144,000. Consumer buying throughout the nation rose 8.3 percent in the year, the SRDS figures show. Some of it was attributable to inflation.

Smokey Bear needs you Cftra producers of Jones Coun tyju-e looking forward to a bet ter crop this year than in jpj|i In making general observa tions through-out the county, corn crops are off to a,, good start in spite of the cold "wea ther; An important, factor in the production of a good corn crop is weed control. The use of chemicals for controlling weeds in corn offer an economical way to increase the profits of the grower. Weeds can also be controlled by using shallow cultivation un til the corn is about two feet high, then stop cultivating. A weeder or rotary hoe are good implements to use until the corn is'six inches high. Fair ly thick stands will help to con trol weeds by competition and shading after corn is about two feet high. Deep plowing will bring new seeds to the surface, where they can germinate. Therefore it is important to a void deep cultivation. The use of adequate side dressing is another important factor in corn production. Esti mate nitrogen needs by using the “2-to-l” rule — apply 2 lbs. of nitrogen to get an average in crease of 1 bushel Of corn. This rule applies under average con ditions with from-80-100 pounds of nitrogen when other recom mended practices have been fol lowed. One can supply 80 pounds of nitrogen by using 500 pounds of nitrate of soda, 400 pounds of 20.5% ammonium nitrate and lime mixtures (Calnitro, ANL, nitro-lime and calcium ammoni um nitrate) or ammonium sul fate, 250 pounds ammonium ni trate, 200 pounds urea, 220 pounds (21.9) gallons) solution 4 (37% N), or 100 lbs. of annyar ous ammonia. Corn growers using the recom mended practices in corn pro duction should have no trouble in producing a good crop of com this year providing the wea ther is favorable. For more in formation on the use of chemi cals for weed control and ade quate nitrogen sources contact the local Extension Offices.
