Everyone seems to be talking
about taxes this time of the
year, commented Icen E. Wilson,
District Manager of Social Se
curity in Greenville. Now that
we have finished listing our per
sonal property we have to start
getting our income tax returns
filed. When we just work for
wages this is not too difficult a
job; however, for those persons
who are self-employed, it in
volves a little more work. In
preparing their returns they
(nust complete the Schedule C
or F of the Form 1040 in order
to receive social security credit
for their earnings.
A person who has self-employ
ment income derived from a
business other than farming will
complete the Schedule C. Farm
ers will complete the Schedule
F to report their earnings. To
receive social security • credits a
self-employed person must 'have
ret earnings of at least S4OO dur

j House Or Home? J
By TERRY JONES
"Therefor* shall a man leave his
father and his mother, and shall
cleave unto his wife; and they
shall be one flesh." (Gen. 2:C4). !
Did you know there is a dif
ference between a house and a
home? A house has four walls,
a floor and a roof. On the in
side it might be well furnished.
It will even have a family living
within the walls. The father
might be a godd provider so that
each member will be well dress
ed and have plenty to eat. The
other might be a good house
keeper with everything well or
ganized. But even with all this
the dwelling place of a family
can still be a house. Why? Be
cause there might be little fami
ly unity; often there will be
bickering and tension, A, house
can be an unpleasant place.
A home is entirely different. ;
It might not be as beautiful as
the house, the furniture may be
worn and the paint faded. But
the home is a warm place, may
be not by an expensive heat
ing system but by family unity

S4OO during the year can still!
obtain social security credits if
his gross income was at least
S6OO. In this case he must use
the optional method of report
ing his income which means he
will take two-thirds of his gross
income and report this amount
as his net income but not to ex
ceed SI2OO. Anyone having a
question about the use of the
optional method should contact
either the Social Security Office
or the Internal Revenue Office.
In completing your tax return
make sure you enter your social
security number on each form
in the space indicated for the
number. This is very important
since your social security account
is kept by your individual num
ber and failure to report it could
result in your not receiving any
credit for your earnings even
though you have paid the tax.

I What causes all the difference
between the house and the
home? Christ is the difference.
If His Spirit is absent then the
family has a house. If He is
present in the heart of each
family member; if He is living
in their thoughts, speech and ac
tion; if He is remembered at
meal time and in family devo
tions then the four walls, roof
and floor are no longer a house
but a home. In which do you
live, a house or a home?
Are You Crazy?

Feeding Featured At Swine
Meeting: The feeding of hogs
was the main feature discussed
by Extension Specialist David
Spruill last Friday afternoon at
the Chowan Community Build
ing. Mr. Spruill explained that
research has largely determined
why it is so important to have
the proper proteins along with
grain in various feed rations. |
The proper protein in a ration
for breeding stock helps to in
crease the number of pigs as
well as their thriftiness. Proper
proteins in the pig ration en
ables the pig to make faster
growth and more efficient
growth. Proper proteins are es
pecially important at all levels
of hog production but more es
pecially with breeding stock,
bred guilts and sows, lactaling
mothers and growing pigs. When
the pig’s weight develops above
50 pounds the protein need grad
ually decreases up to market
size.
Extension Folder No. 206,
“Swine Feeding For Profits”,
has ration formulas for various
phases of hog production. By
contacting our office we will be i
glad to supply you with a copy,
of this information.
Grape Vines Need Repair: As
I ride over Chowan County it
just about makes tears come to
my eyes to see well established
grape arbors falling down and
going to the bad for the lack of
scaffolding and management. At
grape harvest time the price of
grapes in this area has been
very good and certainly on a
per acre basis there is no crop
we grow that will produce more
return generally than a good
crop of grapes.
Yes, it is getting late to fix up
the scaffolds of the grape arbor
but it isn’t too late. This is a
good season to get the post and
poles and repair the scaffolds.
Pull out as much of the dead
vines as possible. If you break
or cut some vines they will most
likely bleed but don’t let that
worry you because it isn’t going
to amount to anything unless the
cut is very, very severe.
Pasture Fertilization: Estab
lished pastures that were not
fertilized last fall should be fer
tilized now Ladino-Grass pas
tures should receive from 400 to
800 pounds of 0-10-20 or 0-9-27
per acre. Fescue grass and Coas-
tal Bermuda should receive 250
to 500 pounds of 0-10-20 or 0-9-
27. Grass pastures should re
ceive about 40 pounds of actual
nitrogen per acre every 45 to 60
days beginning In March.
Coastal Bermuda: Coastal Ber
muda is a good pasture grass,
particularly on light to .medium
soils. We have to remember
that it is a grass and that in
addition to a regular mixed fer
tilizer we have to apply nitrogen
every 30 to 60 days during the
growing season. This grass, if
properly managed, will produce
good grazing beginning in May
t and continuing until frost. To
start Coastal Bermuda this spring
the soil should be tested im
mediately and lime and fertilizer
applied according to the soil test
report. The needed lime and
fertilizer should be thoroughly
worked into the upper four to
six inches of soil. Approximate
ly 20 cubic feet or 20 bushels
of sprigs should be set per acre
in March or April. Extension
Circular No. 451 contains all the
information necessary for Coas
tal Bermuda production and a
copy of this may be obtained
jby contacting our office.
Breeding Ewes Available: I
have just received a notice from
H. D. Quessenberry of the
North Carolina Department of
Agriculture that they will be
making a cooperative purchase
■ of breeding ewes again this
spring. These ewes are supposed
■ to have already been bred and
will cost approximately $25 per
head. They will mostly be of
the Hampshire or Hampshire
Cross breed. Orders must be
placed at your county Extension
Office by March 1, with a $5.00
deposit for each ewe.
Top Dress Small Grain: Now
is the time to top dress small
grain with nitrogen for good
grain yields this spring. A good
stand of oats, wheat, rye or bar
ley should receive 50 to 60 lbs.
of actual nitrogen per acre. This
nitrogen should be applied as
> soon as possible and will pay
, good dividends.
Release Cotton Not Used: The
■ cotton release and renpportion
t ment program is continuing for
■ 1964. Growers who have allot
• ments a part or all of which they
i do not plan to use in 1964
1 should be released at the county
ASCS office by March 15. The
important thing is to release it
before you forget it and it’s too
late. The released acreage can
be reapportioned to growers
who want to grow cotton and i
will also enable the allotment
owner to maintain his allotment.
It is important to check with
the ASCS office to see if you
have to plant cotton this year

The sidewalk sale of dishes, ;
which took place last week in

was an interesting sight to

resist a sale, no matter what.

Many times in the past I’ve
wished, as I walked along the
street, that the church or chapel
would be open, where I could

many others have wished for
the same thing.
Just a Thought: Your eyes
.are your most precious posses

fully? When you meet people
on the street, do you smile with
your eyes or are you critical
with them? Your eyes will be
