income which-'ei farmer reason
ably could have exacted if his land
t-ad teen kept in'rcrmal crop u:s.'
1 A W.rd type of t-'ii bank payment
is the conservation reservs reim
bureement , payment, 4 Thesa oce
payments made . by , the Federal
Government to pay' part , of the cost
of -carrying out " the conservation
practices and making improve
ments on the conservation reserve.
They are included In figuring the
farmer's net earnings only if the
expenditures are deductible as bu
siness expenses for income purpos
es. A landlord who owns a farm and
participates materially In the pro
duction or management of produc
tion of farm commodities gets so
cial security credit lor his share
of the soil bank payments just as
the farm operator doe; -
For a farm owner -who receives
rental ipsome but who takes no
part in the actual operation of the
farm, neither the soil bank pay
ments nor the rental income counts
toward social security benefits.
Farmers who draw soil bank pay
ments are subject to self-employment
(Social Security) taxes as on
other net earnings, and these earn
ings count toward social security
retirement disability, and survivors
insurance benefits.
A large number of elderly N. C.
farmers are retiring each week un
der the old-age and survivors in
surance program provided by the
Social Security Act.' The amount
of the monthly payment is based on
the farmer's average earnings.
Tne minirouio monthly payment
is tO for "be farmer and $15 for
his wife, if 'he1 ar both 65. Maxi

Soil Bank Acres
Must Be Observed
By Farmers
Some farmers "are forgetting that
the chief aim of the Acreage Re
serve Program is to reduce produc
tion of allnted crops in over suoply,
declares Horace D. Godfrey, North
Carolina ASC Administrative Of
ficer. According to Godfrey, some farm
ers in commercial corn counties
thought they were entitled to place
their entire com allotment in the
reserve ahd then plant all the corn
they wanted for feeding livestock
on the farm.
Godfrey emphasises that a farm
er will be Ineligible to participate
in either phase of the Soil Bank
Program if the planted acreage of
any allotment crop produced on the
farm exceecs the farm allotment
Wheat and peanuts are exception
to this requirement he says.
The fact that a farmer plan's
within his allotment is not enough.
According to Godfrey, the farmer
will also be required to reduce his
plantings of the allotment crop be
ing placed in the reserve by the
same number of a -res placed in the
reserve.

And Inventory I!ov
The North Carolina Board of Wa
ter .Commissioners,, backed by It
10-member advisory committee and
representatives of a dozen state
wide organizations, will launch its
trass roots inventory of tha state' i
water problems in the near future.
- The Board gave the green light to
the project this past week at its
quarterly meeting and two commit
tees tackled details of the program
immediately.
General J. R. Townsend of Greens
boro, chairman of the board, said
the ac'.val county by county inven
tory wift begin as soon as the nec
essary preparations can be mau.
'lis inventory,' Townsend said,
'coupled with studies we are mak
ing if yarding water resources and
water use will give us the most
comprehensive picture ever compil
ed relative to water conditions in
North Carolina. It will provide us
with a major stepping stone in de
veloping a realistic water conserva
tion plan for the state.
Townsend explained that When
this inventory is completed we will
know how much water is available
in North Carolina, how that water
is being used and what problems
now exist of may develop in the
future relative to that use.
'Our Board will compare the ex
isting and anticipated problems
with the stae's present water laws.
Statutes now in.effect will undoubt
edly cover many of the problems
adequately. In other instances, es
pecially in connection with anti
cipated problems, we expect to find
that present laws are partially 01
totally Inadequate.
'The members of our Board1,' the
chairman continued, 'feel that these
growing problems which defy exist
ing regulations pose a serious
threat to future economic develop
ment. We intend, therefore, to study
these problems thoroughly and to
rrr", wb'' we consider effective
solutions. Our recommendations
will then be carried before the peo
ple in a state-wide series of public
hearings, giving the water users an
opportunity to compare heir prob
lems with the Board's suggested
solutions.
hee hrings have bien
eoncluded, we will re-appraise our

Highest Command
Lesson for March 17, 1957
WE ALL live by authority of
some kind. When some one
says, "Do this!" we do it will
ingly or unwillingly, but we do
it if we can. If a man says, "I
wear no man's collar, I do as I
please, I am my own authority,"
a close observer can often per
ceive that the man is fooling him
self. He may
have certain
habits, certain !
appetities. He I
may be one 1
whom Dorothv i
Parker de- !.
scribes: "Some
men cannot pass
a bookstore." It
may be books,
or liquor, or
Dr. Foreman
fishing tackle, or women, some
thing says with compelling voice
to this boastful man, "Come!" and
he loses no time coming. Some
times the man who brags most of
his own freedom is the man who
is the most willing slave.
Who Is in Charge Hera?
Consider some of the many
bosses of the human race. One
authority whose voice is loud in
the land is the "Voice of the
People." Some politicians live by
it. A politician will split the welk
in telling the world what a low--rade
rat his opponent is; but
'hen the opponent beats him in
the primary, and the politician
rines another rune. "The people
I'.ave spoken," he says; and turns
i round to support the very man
who fhe had just been saying)
".."is hardly fit to be dog-catcher,
liners again regard the law as
he highest command. In th -ir
yes. law can turn right into
vrong or wrong into right. lint
the law is a human thing; rny
sood lawyer will admit that th:'re
is a gap between what the law
commands or permits, and what
is morally right. Law tries to
catch up with morals; it never
creates right or wrong.
Money Talks
Others again find their highest
authority in money. Some will
admit it, some will not. But when
ever you find a person making
all his decisions in the light of
the one question: What will make
the most money' Or. What will
cost the least? then you know that
for that person the last v.-ord is
with the cash account. One form
of this authority, is Business. If
it's good for Bus ness it's good for
the country. In the name of this
n'l'hoi'ity many practices are ad
vocated which are definitely not
gco-1 for the people who make
up the country. For many other
persons, the highest command is
the voice of the one who is most
loved. In times gone by. it might
be the King's Favorite. In our
more democratic era, individual
citizens may take their wife's
or husband's word as the last
word. Or to take one more type,
for a vast number of persons the
highest authority is their Church.
Some people even think the church
cannot make a mistake!
Jesus, Lord of All
For the Christian, however, his
lUKlltrsL uunuiidiiu 13 nidi ui Straus
Christ. The vows taken when a
person is confirmed, or joins the
church, profess, sometimes in
these very words, "I take Jesus
Christ for my Lord and Savior."
"For my Lord . . ." If the word
means what it was intended to
mean, it means that above all other
authorities is His. All these other
commands have their places; but
his is supreme. In a great corpora
tion there are many persons with
authority; but only one President.
No decision at lower levels is
valid if it conflicts with a policy
the President has laid down. So
there are situations where the mon
ey question is decisive. There are
other situations in which a poli
tical party's decision, slate or
platform may be decisive for the
party worker, and so on. But
if decisions on these lower levels
come into conflict with what we
may call the policy of Jesus, then
those lower decisions must give
way. In Jesus' lifetime He chal
lenged every authority that con
fronted him. He was responsive to
authority within proper bounds
(as when He paid taxes or when
placed on oath in a trial) but even
over the church, even over the
inspired Law, He claimed first
right. The sensible Christian does
not claim for Jesus what he did
not claim for himself. He did
not set up to be an authority on
forms of government, financial
affairs or farming. But He did lay
down certain great principles
founded in the will and nature of
the heavenly Father.
