4-H Club Corn Yields
Checked By Agent
Excessive Rain Serious
ly Damaged Crop In
All Sections
Assistant County Agent Robert- S.
Marsh spent the greatest part of last
week checking 4-H corn yields. Sev
eral communities of the county were
visited and the corn yields checked.
Excessive rainfall seriously damaged
corn in every section of Chowan
County this year. The highest yield
checked so far was between 80 and 90
bushels, and the yields range from
that figure to a figure very much
lower. Most of the club boys visited
this year have done an excellent job
with th'ur projects, says Mr. Marsh,
and are to be commended for their
efforts. However, the adverse weath
er conditions have discouraged a few.
Although corn has been damaged
more in some sections of the county
than others, corn in every section of
the entire county was water damaged,
so each contestant should not feel too
bad if his corn yield is low.
Mr. Marsh is checking 4-H corn
yields as fast as he can possibly get
to them. However, if a club member
or his dad is planning to harvest his
corn in the immediate future, the
county agents should be contacted I
and a special effort will be made to
check the yield before the corn isj
harvested.
I Our County and
Social Security
Today, I have a message for all the
wives of all the husbands who work
for wages in employment which is
covered under the Social Securtiy
Act. The message is equally import
ant to the widows of husbands who
worked in employment under Social
Security. In our day-to-day work,
We have found that too many do not
know about Social Security rights
which were earned and paid for by
the Social Security taxes deducted
from the family breadwinner’s weekly
or monthly pay checks.
This tax j>ays for an insurance
policy with the Bureau of Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance. This policy
is payable to you in case of your hus
band’s death if he has worked long
enough to be insured. If this unfortu
nate event should occur in your fami
ly, you should get in touch with our
office. You may be eligible to re
ceive cash benefit payments. These
payments are of two kinds —monthly
benefits and a lump-sum benefit.
To illustrate the two types of bene
fits. let us tell you of an actual case
which was recently handled by our
office. A lady, whom I shall call Mrs.
Black, came into our office. She

stated that her husband had beert ,
killed while working on his job and ]
that she had been left with two child- |
ren to support —age 8 and 10. Mrs. |
‘ Black was very worried about the |
i family’s future. She said that her I
husband had carried only a small |
amount of insurance, and that the |
■ funeral expenses had taken most of |
that. •
We examined Mr. Black’s record of I
earnings, and were happy to be able I
to inform Mrs. Black that she and the I
. children were entitled to monthly I
: benefits of $55.50. If there had been I
■ no minor children, Mrs. Black would I
i be entitled to monthly payments of I
. $22 50 for the rest of her life if she I
! had not remarried.
i You should contact our office lo- I
1 cated at 520 Flatiron Building, Nor- I
i folk; Va., in the event of your hus- I
band’s death. Payments can be made I
only three months retroactively. For I
example if your claim is not filed un- I
i til 6 months after the death of your I
, husband, you would lose 3 months’ I
■ payments. Claims for lump-sum I
death payments must be made within I
2 years after the death of the wage I
earner.
A representative of this office is in I
Edenton at the local employment of- I
