SECTION TWO KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY \t v * P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro, lina Employment Security Commission in Cltisens Bank Building. Mary Brown was a 68 year old* widow. Her husband John had died three years ago. John had been a farmer all his life. He left Mary a 130 acre farm. Mary had been bom and raised on a farm and spent all of her married life on a farm. She had been con tent with running the household and her 75 chickens. She knew everything about the farm, but had been more concerned about the house and raising 6 children. Her oldest son, Tom who had been taking care of the farm since his daddy’s death, asked Mary if she had heard about this new So cial Security Law for farmers. The next Tuesday when the So cial Security Field Representative came to the County Seat, Mary went in to see him. She asked him “what about this new change in Social Security for farmers?” The Social Security representative explained that in 1956 Congress amended-the Social Security Law to include under Social Security those farm people who materially participated beginning with 1956. J Mary immediately said “why I supervise my farm. My son con sults with me at the beginning of each growing season as to what we will plant and where and I furnish one-third of everything.” The Social Security representative explained this was not sufficient and material participation involv ed more than casual consultations. It requires a close and continu ing supervision and an active part in making decisions concerning! the production of the crops, if involves inspection of the fields to see that proper planting and cultivating had been done. Mary said, “why my son does that. I consult with him.” The Social Security representative told Mary that under her present farming arrangement she was not covered under Social Security and her Melrose RARE ‘ Bp.*- m ——|L ; .. . . m ß^i 1 CSSKS^^Sf I 1 Bsro !••* 1 1 Meltro§.® I fc-, N ... iii[i[ , . • $2.50 $3.95 4/S QT. \ BUgDfOWHtStt*, 86 PROOF, 40* STEBSHT WISWSTTEWffIIft -„u. :.* v 1... earnings were rentals from real ; estate.

For several years, Mrs. Wilson with her husband, their daughter, Nancy, and Mr. Wilson’s mother have lived in a farm home with few of the modern conveniences that they included - in their new home now nearing completion. Their old home was unpainted on the outside, with rather small rooms, and no electricity. Their new light green shingled house has six nice, large rooms, and a bath, with well-planned storage space. Mrs. Wilson’s planning included an “L” shaped kitchen with the ideal arrangement of the sink between the stove and the refrig erator. A utility room will furth er aid Mrs. Wilson with her work. To help keep the clutter of house hold chores out of the living area, this room will contain a freezer, washing machine, ironing board, and additional working space. No doubt Mrs. Wilson will find the screened porch opening into 1 the kitchen a center of family liv- : ing, especially during the sum mertime. Good planning is essential for real convenience when preparing to build a new rural home. Mrs. Wilson has applied many of the points stressed in demonstrations given at her club meetings. Am ple storage space, a step-and work-saving “L” kitchen arrange ment, a utility room for a work center—just to mention a few.

It is certain that her house hold duties will seem easier and less time-consuming, and that her family will do a “lot of living” in their new home. Mrs. Elizabeth L.

Method Devised To Help Control Crows Crows have played havoc in watermelon fields for years and years in Chowan County. Vari ous methods, devices, contrap tions, etc., have been used in an effort to prevent their damage. Such things as white strings sup ported by poles, reaching across the entire field, model crows cut out of metal painted black, regu lar scare crows, and hanging bright pieces of metal in the field have been tried. Some of these methods were fairly successful and others were only poor to me diocre. Paul Ober of the Rocky Hock section tried using specially built fire crackers and a rope as a fuse to control crows. The rope is hung vertically from a tall stake in the field or it can be hung in the edge of the woods near the field. The distance the firecrack ers are spaced apart in the rope determines how frequently they will fire. Although this method is fairly expensive, it gives good results, according to Mr. Ober. Penalty Rate For 1957 Excess Cotton Reported At 18.5 Cents I The marketing quota penalty rate on “excess” cotton of the 1957 crop will be 18.5 cents per pound, according to Tilman R. Walker, chairman of the State ASC Committee. Controlling legislation, Walker explained, directs that the mar keting quota penalty rate for up land cotton shall be 50 per cent of the parity price per pound of cotton as of June 15 of the calen dar year in which such cotton is produced. The parity price for upland cotton effective June 15, 1957. was 37.06 cents per pound. Marketing quotas for the 1957 crop of upland cotton were ap proved by growers voting in a referendum last December. Farm ers in this State voted over 90 per cent in favor of quotas. When cotton marketing quotas | are in effect, a farmer who does not comply with the acreage al lotment established for the kind of cotton grown on his farm is subject to a penalty on his ex cess. The cotton crop from such a farm is also ineligible for price support under the Commodity Credit Corporation loan program. The minimum level of price support for 1957 crop cotton was announced on February 9, of this year, at 28.15 cents per pound gross weight for upland on the basis of Middling 7/8-inch at av erage location. That rate will be approximately one cent higher in this State. Pertinent Question “A fool and his money are soon parted.” “Yes.
