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.

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.

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.
