Only seed crops and few demonstration fields of the new varieties were grown this year and certified seed may be released to growers this fall for 1983 commercial plantings. Complete in formation on these new varieties, including data on yield, value, quality, and disease resistance ratings, will be made available to farmers following the 1982 harvest season. f A total of 65 new varieties has been approved by the Regional Evaluation Committee since inception in 1964. The committee is com posed of tobacco seed breeders, tobacco manufacturers, export dealers, and tobacco research workers in state and federal positions. Five of the state’s agricultural extension agents with tobacco responsibilities were recently honored for “Excellence in Tobbacco Extension.” The awards are for $3,000 each. Five such awards are being presented annually for four years (1981-1984) under the joint sponsorship of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and the N.C. Agricultural Ex tension Service. Agents being honored this year, and their counties, are C.T. Dean Jr., Franklin; Frank M. Green, Rockingham; Kenneth T. Patterson, Alexander; James R. Pearce, Edgecombe; Kenneth R. Reeves, Bun combe. In their tobacco programs the five agents have stressed production of quality tobacco at lowest possible cost in order to boost growers’ net returns from the crop. They have given special emphasis to such practices as care in variety selection, avoiding excessive nitrogen, con trolling insects and diseases, timely topping and sucker control measures, proper harvesting and curing, and careful preparation of tobacco for market.

Association Os CPAs RALElGH—Service in dustries employ two out of every three workers in the private sector and account for about half of each house hold dollar spent. While many maintenance and domestic workers are hired through small companies, a good number of people work independently, hiring out on an hourly or daily rate. According to the North Carolina Association of CPAs, if you regularly hire such an individual worker, you should budget not only for their wages, but also for social security taxes and possibly additional in surance costs. It is estimated that the value of services provided by the average American homemaker is at least $12,000. That covers chauffeuring, tutoring, child care, marketing, cleaning and laundry among others. In the marketplace, these jobs might pay only minimum wage - $3.35 an hour. And that, according to the Labor Department, is what you must pay household workers whom you regularly employ. There are additional costs that can be substituted for wages, if the employee agrees. For example, if you hire a garderner or housekeeper to work until noon and then you provide lunch, you may subtract lunch costs from the minimum wage earned. The same situation applies to live-in help for whom you provide room and board. (The amount you estimate for meals and lodging can be considered tax-free Income 1 / if a specific standards are met.) An employe can subtract a “fair and reasonable” amount for room and board. Your state department of labor might enforce specific amounts. Along with wages, an employer is responsible for Social Security taxes, CPAs say. If you pay your em ployee more than SSO per calendar quarter, you have to pay half of the 13.4 per cent that the Social Security Administration demands. The other half can be withheld from the em ployee’s wages. By February of the following year, the employer must file two forms (W-2 and W-3) with the SSA which passes the information on to the IRS. Employers who don’t pay Social Security taxes are liable for back taxes and high penalties. In addition, a former employee could later sue for Social Security and the employer could be liable for court costs and at torney’s fees besides the taxes, interest and penalty. If your employee refuses to supply a social security number, you can protect yourself by withholding the proper amount and reporting the number as unknown. Employers of part-time domestic workers do not have to withhold federal income tax unless the employee requests it. But there are strict regulations concerning income reporting for local, state and federal taxes. Although the employee might prefer to be paid in cash, paying by check gives you an accurate record of payment and total wages earned. Taking care of pay and corresponding taxes, CPAs say, isn’t the extent of an employer’s obligation. By law, homeowners are liable for any injury that occurs on their property. While homeowner’s insurance covers”your -liability for these injuries, coverage for regular employees might be limited. FOR SALE I FOR SALE—I 979 Conner Mobile Home. 2 BR.

Home Realty In some states, insurance companies are required to include employee coverage ih homeowner’s policies. (The additional premium averages only about $3 a year.) In other states, separate insurance policies for workers are available. In one area, that could cost $l7O annually. Recently, the number of states requiring employers to provide workman’s’s compensation for domestic employees rose to 23 and the District of Columbia. Work man’s compensation relieves the employer of primary liability by paying the employee’s medical bills. In case of long term disability, compensation could also help the worker recover lost wages.
