Buying Power
Rated High in
RiehIand Co.
Special to The Herald

NEW YORK, June 10 - Rich
land County stood out as a Wig
orous, flourishing market last
year, with a level of income and
spending above that found in
most sections of the United
States.
The facts are brought out in
Sales Arrangements new, copy
righted Survey of Buying Pow
err" covering all parts of the
country.
1t shows that business activity
Fin Richland County reached new
heights in the year, with retail
stores chalking up a sales VOL
ume of $14,204, 900, topping the
$~13,014,000 record of the prior
year.
The amount was considerably
greater than might have been
expected on the basis of popu-
lation. From that standpoint, re-
tail business locally should have
amounted to only .0061 percent
Of the national volume. Actually,
however, it came to .0071 per-
cent.
The spending pattern of the
consuming public, although it
changed somewhat in the last
quarter of the year, was that of
a prosperous, growing commu-
nifty. 1t produced gains for nearly
every type of retail and service
business.
Better earnings made possible
the l~arge-scale spending. The
survey shows that net incomes
locally, after deduction of taxes,
amounted to 1885, 900.
This was equivalent to $4,855
per household, an arithmetic av-
erage arrived at by dividing the
total income by the number of
households.
The fact that retail sales ex-
ceeded earnings locally shows
that Richland County is the
trading hub for the surrounding
area.
Just how well the Individual
communities stand with re1a-
ton to others as to purchasing
ability and business activity is
shown in an ''index for sales
production" For Richland
County the index rating is 116,
or 16 percent above the national
average.
More recently, under the bus
mess decline, there has been a
change throughout the country
in the attitude of people toward
money. An urge to save has re-
placed the urge to spend. AS a
result, savings have increased
nearly $40 billion in just one
year, bringing liquid assets to
over 5000 billion.
This is a huge amount Of pent-
up purchasing power. The re-
lease of just a small part of it,
when the buying mood returns,
is expected to have a major eff
feet on the economy.

Safflower Crop
Is Reported in
Good Condition

The safflower crop growing in
this area is progressing satisfac-
torily, reports Hannes A. Hall
CRIMSON, field agent, from Cul-
bertson, Montana. A survey made
through the area recently was
most encouraging indicating that
farmers r doing a good job.
The fields are relatively free of
weeds with the safflower ranging
from 3 inches to a foot in height.
With the moisture conditions ia
vorable, we can expect an av-
erage yield. Safflower does quite
well under dry, hot atmospheric
conditions, providing there is
good moisture reserve in the
soil.
A few small weeds have ger
minated since the rain, making
it advisable to harrow or rotary
hoe the fields. Safflower can be
narrowed when it is from 8 to S
inches tall. A slant tooth har-
row or rotary hoe can be used.
Less damage results if this OPP
Grafton is done in the heat of the
day.
Grasshoppers r beginning to
infest the fields in some areas.
Many farmers have sprayed al
ready. You can control the hop
pers by spraying with dieldrin or
heptachlor. One ounce of actual
dieldrin per acre should give
good control.
For further information on
weed and grasshopper control,
farmers may contact Hannes A.
Hallgrimson at his office in Gull
bertson-telephone 265. The
County Extension Agent in your
county will be willing to discuss
these problems with you also.

Center Bill

The cultural center bill was
near the top of the House

Debate on the center was

by an unexpected 4-hour argu-

The House finally defeated the
minerals bill by a vote Of 1872 to

But the various items listed
above are the ones that will be

OF course, not all of them
will become law. But Federal
employe leaders are hopeful
that the long-sought medical

as liberalized life insurance

Also. they are hopeful that

AS far as another round of

raise is 1860.
