Social Security coverage was extended to 4,600.000 self-em ployed peqple at of January 1; 1951, on a compulsery basis. Sole owners and partners, including silent partners, are now covered by the system. ? * The following groups are ex cluded: Farm owners and op erators, physicans, dentists, law yers, ostepaths, chllropractors, optomertists, naturopaths, vet erinarians, architects, profess ional engineers, certified, licen ced, or full-time accountants, funeral directors, Christian Scie nce practitioners and duly or dained, commissioned, or licen sed ministers of churches, or members of a religious order. The self-employed will report their net Income annually for Social security purposes using a fiscal or calendar year. Those using the calender year will make their first social security return early in 1952. The lower portion of Schedule C, Profit and Loss Statement, will accompany Form 1040, Federal Individual income tax form to be filed on or "before March 15, 1952, will be used for "this purpose. The social security tax will apply only if the annual net in come from selfemployment is $400 or over. The maxium a mount subject to tax is $3600. The tax rate for the self-em ployed is 2 1-4 -percent for the years 1951 through 1953. Self employment income and wages from employment may be com bined.

Income from personally-owned stocks or bonds does not count foe sobial security purposes. Where the income from operat ors of business belongs, to hus band and wife, self-employment | income (other than that derived form a partnership) is to be treated as the husband's income, unless the wife exercises sub stantially all of the. manage ment and control. In that case, the income to be considered her income and she would have the social security coverage. In the case of a husband-andr wife formal partnership, each will 'be' credited on his social security account with nis own proportionate share of the net earnings of the business, if either spouse is in partnership with athird person, only the spouse in the partnership will be credited with the distributed share. All self-employed individ uals who are covered by the sys tem need a social security num ber in Order to issue ' proper credit.

P. Falls, Surveyor on September 8, 1936. This the 21st 'day of January, Cheek Approves Increasing Rates Commissioner of Insurance Waldo C. Cheek today announced approval of an overall increase in Boiler and Machinery Direct Damage Insurance rates of 16.6% effective February 1, 1952, for member and subscriber com panies of the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters and the Mutual Boiler Insurance Compa ny. There are no changes in the rates for Excess Limits Table Factors or Location. Bodily In jury and Portable Charges, nor for the various indirect cover ages. The specific .increases are: Boiler Object Rates, 21.5% and Machinery Object Rates. 12.8%, or an average Increase of 16.6%. This is the first fncrease for Boil er andMachinery rates In North Carolina since December 1, 1948. The original filing of the Na tional Bureau of Casualty Un? derwriters and the Mutual Boil er Insurance Company made in November, 1951, proposed in creas slightly in excess of those which are approved effective February 1, 1952. These filings called for increases of 24.7% for Boiler Object rates and 18.2% for Machinery Object rates, or an overall increase of 20.0%. This proposal included a provision to increase the Profits and Contin gencies Factor in the expense portion from 2.5% to 5.0%. A p jlic hearing was held in the Insurance Department on this filing on December 12, 1951. The National Bureau and the Mutual Boiler Insurance Compa ny filed an amended proposal in December, 1951, in which the Pro fits and Contingencies Factor re mained at 2.5% and which result ed in the percentage increase which have been approved, effec tive February 1, 1952. The approved Increase in rates for Bpiler and Machinery Objects has been factually justified on the basis of underwriting or loss experience and on a substantltal increase in the exjlfittse-and in spection portion of the premium dollar expended for this type of insurance. Inspection costs make up a very sizable portion of the Boiler and Machinery premium and constitue the largest single item of expense. These costs, to gether with the cost of replace ment parts, new boilers and new machinery, have increased during the past several years of inflation in direct ratio with the increased 8tart In The Right Direction Start your child off In the right direction with correct first shoes, i CGt specialists recommend that j both uppers and soles be of pli able leather.

Therefore, the premium does not automatically reflect Increases in values due to the effects of inflation on the cost of repair or replacement of the object insured nor in the cost of inspections. Policies are general ly written for a three-year term, effect guaranteeing the rates for that period. The rates are being revised to more nearly reflect current cost, conditions. The average Increase in rates indicated by underwriting exper ience amounts to 9.57c while the average increase indicated by the increase in inspection costs amounts to approximately 12%. This is several percentage points higher than the requested in creases. This rate increase is uniform In all states and is based on nation wide experience. Individual states have insufficient premiums or losses on which to compute cred ible-ra+^s and the experience in curred in all states is grouped for rating purposes. Calendar year 1949 premium writings in North Carolina for all lines of fioilcr and Machinery Insurance, both Direct and Indirect, amounted to S920.S62.00. These rate increases are esti- 1 mated to cost North Carolina purchasers of this type of insur ance approximately $$5,000 an nually. with no rough scams to cause (Us- , corobort.

New Farm Program Launched In State What can North Carolina farm people do to improve their let? An exhaustive study present ing at least some of the answers to this question was made pub lic in Raleigh on January 28, when the North Carolina Hoard of Farm Organizations and Age ncies unveiled its new long range agricultural program for the State. The Ingram was presented in a 76 page booklet entitled "North Carolina Accepts the Challenge." published after a full year's work af fact-gathering and sift by members of the 11 agencies making up the sponsoring board. first section of the booklet deals with the State's present agricultural, situation, as reveal ed by 1950 census data. It points out that the Tar Heel State has the nation's largest farm pop ulation, the farms are too small, too much work is still being done by hand and mule power, and farm enterprises are not as balanced and diversified as they should be. The main section of the study presents specific recommcndat ions lor increasing farm income in the State as a whole and in each of the 12 types-of-farming areas. ..
