Employment of young people un

'It makes no difference whether
they are natives of North Carolina

'The one exception is that this
Federal law does not prohibit a
fanner's own child from working
on his own farm at-any time or age,'
Crane said. 'However, North Caroli

Answers To Timely
Farm Questions
Question; What are the prospects
for cattle, prices this yearT
Answer; Th C emarket for high
grade slaughter steers , has held
steady on most terminal markets
and is expected to . , Iremain up at
least through October. The. demand
for cows and lower quality slaugh
ter steers has held up better dur
ing this season than they have for
the last few years. This is possibly
due to improved grazing conditions
that prevail generally over the
country and slow up movement to
market.
Question: What causes mastitis?
Answer: Mastitis, an inflamation
or infection of the udder,, may be
caused by bacteria, bruises or cuts.
Improper use of milkine machines is
a frequent cause. Another cause is
riculture before or after school
hours, on Saturdays or Sundays, or
during school holidays or the regu
lar school vacation periods.
'If a farmer's or producer's pro
ducts move, either directly or in
directly, out of the State where they
are grown, he is subject to this
law. It is his responsibility to find
out the correct age of each young
vorker he employs, Commissioner
Crane said.
'Tie farmer is protected from un
intentional violation of the law
if he has on file an unexpired em
ployment certificate showing the
oung worker to be at least 16..
These certificates may be obtained
from the local County Superintend
ent of Public Welfare.'
Crane urged farmers who are in
doubt about the law to inquire at

State Labor Department at Raleigh.

Changes In Your

dependent mothers get the same
amount they would have received
at age 65 under the old law.

l or them, the monthly amount , will
be smaller than if they waited until
age 65. When reduced benefit are
jer under 65, she will continue to
get the reduced amount, after , she
reaches age 68. ,i - f) ,
The longer the wife or woman
worker waits to start getting' bene
fits after age 62 and' up to 65, the
less the benefit la reduced. Just like
a rubber band becomes thinner
when stretched, so the wife's or wo
man worker's benefit becomes smal
ler as the period over which pay
ments will be made lengthens.
At age 62, the wife's benefit is 25
per cent less than if aha waited un
til 69. The retired woman work
er's benefit is 20 per cent less at 62
than at 65. The amount of reduc
tion depends on the number of
months after you start getting bene
fits before you reach 65.
Fitzpa trick pointed out that if a
working woman chooses the benefit
at any age between 62 and 65, she'll
be ahead for the first 15 years. After
15 years, the total amount would
not be as large as if she'd waited
until 65 for the higher benefit She
would be between 77 and 80 before
the reduced 'benefit would catch up
with her. '
A Wife electing the reduced bene
fit at any age from 62 to 65 will be
ahead for the first 12 years when
she'd be between 74 and 77. After
that the total wouldn't be as large
as if she'd waited until 65 to start
her benefits.
Mr. Fltzpatrick explained that cer-1

tain events can change the total a
mount received.; The women may
lose some , of the Checks because of
her work or, if getting a wife's ben
efit, because of her husband's work
for more than $1200 a year..
, ' Even though a wife elects the re
duced, benefit before - age 65, this
would be changed to the full wi
dow's payment if her husband
should die. Her election would not
jeopardize or" reduce her widow's
benefit regardless of her age in case
of her husband's death.
' Local experience shows that most
wives and insured women workers
have elected to take the earlier
benefits the bird in the hand'
rather than wait for the higher
payments at 65.
The ' eligibility requirements for
women workers also have been re
laxed as a result of the age 62 pro
vision. Eliminating the three years
work requirement between 62 and
65 means that women 'can qualify
with six less calendar quarters of
covered work than before so
long as they have the minimum or
six quarters of coverage.
This makes payments possible to
many women who reached 65 after
June 1954, and did not have enough
work to qualify under the old law.
Fojj example, a woman worker who
becomes 65 the first -half of 1857
would have needed 12 quarters of
work to qualify before the amend
ments. Now she needs only six
quarters of work to be Insured
mly half as much.

III WARSAW
Grazing Cutlle In Y0cdl2nd l!ot Good;
Hampers Growth Of Trees For Mark?!
The old saying Vou can't have
your cake and eat it too' applies
to many: farming practices. . But
farmers with woodland should es
pecially bear this little bit of phi
losophy in mind when they graze
cattle in their woodland.
John H. Gilliam, district forester
for the N. C Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says that woodland
pimply cannot produce a good crop
of timber and a healthy herd of live
stock at the same time. One or the
other is bound to suffer.
One reason for this is tnat live
stock can cause heavy damage by
trampling young trees. When sur
face roots are tiampled and young
trees are broken or damaged, in
sects and disease will attack, taking
a greater toll. Since cattle will us
ually eat the best seedlings in an
area because of their fast growrh
and succulent leaves, you'll lose the
most desirable species. This lowers
the value of the woodland and any

. Another disadvantage to grazing
woodland Is that in heavily pas
tured hardwood stands soil is us
ually packed so hard that rain runs
off quickly and air is shut off from
the roots, causing death or at least
I slowing up in annual growth.
Actually, good woodland usually
makes poor pasture, according to
Gilliam. An acre of good pasture
will feed as many heads of livestock
as 10 to 50 acres of woodland. Gil
liam explains that, grass grown in
shade has much less food value than
grass grown in full sunlight.
Gilliam says that many farmers
would profit greatly by fencing cat
tle out of their woodland. It might
be necessary for the farmer clear a
few acres of woodland for addition
al pasture and fence off a corner
0:1 the woodland for shade but it
would be well worth his efforts.
He'd end up with better livestock
and better timber.
