Farmers, Farm Workers To Be Covered By Social Security Law After Jan. 1 Farm Operators To Report Earnings of Self, Employees Farm people in Moore County should be assured that the Char lotte Social Security office is pre pared and qualified to serve them with complete information about the new changes in the Social Se curity law. County Agent E. H. Garrison, Jr., said this week. Mr. Garrison pointed out that the 1954 Amendments to Social Security give insurance protec tion to both farm operators and farm workers. “The costs are low and the benefits are great,” he said. Beginning January, 1955, per sons who farm for themselves will be included in Social Securi ty if they make as much as $400 a year profit from their farming operations. Farm workers are in cluded if they are paid cash wages of $100 a year or more from any one farmer. The first thing these people should do, the County Agent ex plained, is get Social Security cards—if they don’t already have them. The farm operator will report his own earnings at the end of each year—at the time he files his income tax return. The Social Security law provides a very sim ple way of doing this—farmers won’t have to do any complicated bookkeeping. Wages of farm em ployees will be reported to the government by the person they work for. Details about these things can be had from the Charlotte So cial Security office. Persons in that office will be glad to ex plain to persons who caU at the office; or to send informational booklets to those requesting them. E. M. Mote of the Charlotte of fice visits the Southern Pines town hall at 10 a. m. on the sec ond and fourth Tuesdays of each month. NeWesi"!

WTVD, Chan 11 5 WALT OISNCY PRODOCTION* Winter Cover Use Saves Plant Food For Future Crops An important feature of the new Winter Cover Practice under the Agricultural Conservation program is the way cover crops take up plant food and hold these nutrients for use the following summer after the crop is plowed under according to Joe A. Cad- dell, chairman of the Moore County ASC Committee. With such cover crops as crim son clover, vetch, Austrian win ter peas, rye grass, and rye, the land is protected against splash erosion and runoff and, at the same time, the growing plants take up the minerals in the soil. The minerals are held in the roots, stems, and leaves of the growing plants until they are plowed under in the spring. In the decaying process the plant food becomes available again for the new crop. The winter cover practice has only been approved for 71 drought-hit counties including Moore. By providing this type of assistance to Tar Heel farmers who grow and plow under cover crops, the Agricultural Conserva tion Program is actually helping to- save tons of scarce fertilizer, the ASC chairman pointed out. FOR RESULTS USE THE PI LOT’S CLASSIFIED COLUMNS Census Records Found Valuable By Farm Owners The Bureau of the Census, serving Uncle Sam as bookkeeper brings the Nation’s farm record book up to date in October and November with the 1954 Census of Agriculture. The census is due to begin in Moore County early next month. Robert W. Burgess, census di rector says, “We will get records of production, take inventory of our farm resources, and record major items cf farm income and expenses.” He points out that just as individuals, modern farmers need to keep records. Progressive farmers can com pare items of income and expense from their own records with ave rages of such items from group records, to find how they can improve their own operations. Census figures by counties offer farmers statistics for groups against which the individual can compare some of his own figures. The Cenfeus Bureau has taken farm inventory every five years since 1920. Between 1920 and the first complete farm census in 1950, the inventory came every 10 years. Farmers have been urged to cooperate with census takers to keep records up to date, complete, and accurate. SUBSCRIBE TO THE PILOT MOORE COUNTY’S LEADING NEWS WEEKLY, PINT S3.40 Vs oT.
