KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security Administration, is in Edonton evtoy Thursday at the North Carolina Employment Security Commission otfice in the Citizens Bank Buildng. Mary Jones sat quietly on the porch of her nrfodest home, watching her two young children playing in the yard. She put down her mending and let her gaze shift to the fields beyond, stretching on up to the big house on the hill. Mary found it hard to realize that only a few days ago her husband, Tom, had been working in these fields for Jim White whose farm joined their small place. Jim had hired Tom now and then during the past 3 years to drive a tractor on the farm—maybe one pr two days a week. Jkn had paid him in cash every Sat urday. Now it had happened— « that fateful day a week ago, tractor suddenly overturned ? and Tom died almost instantly. /Great as her loss was, Mary got some comfort from the news i Jim^ brought her, and from the) talk. She had that same day, at his suggestion, with the folks! at the nearby social security of fice. .Stm told her he had been “turning in" social security re ports on Tom’s cash pay each January for the preceding year, as required by law. Mary didn’t quite understand until she got all the details at the social security Office, for she •thought Tom’s work had been too irregular to count for social security insurance benefits. She learned there that regularly em ployed farm workers were first covered in 1951, but that a change in the law simplified this coverage effective 1955. the year Tom started working. Beginning AROUND THE FARMS ;feJ[N CHOWAN COUNTY By HARRY VENTERS, Assistant County Agent It’s a real pleasure for me to be guest writer for this column. I hope the quality of the infor mation usually presented won’t suffer too badly. Last week Mr. Overman urged cotton growers to control the boll weevil. Frequent rains throughout the state have caused . boll weevil grubs to develop quickly. Fast action must be taken in order to control the weevil threat. Late cotton, with little treatment to date, are showing infestations near or above the 10% figure. Many fields aie in immediate need to protect the crop from the first brood of weevils. Tqxaphene plus DOT formu lations give improved boll weevil £>ntfol over straight toxaphene iis generally more effective gainst light bollworm infesta tionsi We have many early fields where treatment has been adequate that show an excellent crop prospect. In other fields we find t'he weevil infestation is up to a serious level. All late, cotton is in real danger for the rest of the season from boll weevils and boll worms. The five day application schedule should) go into eftect.

Effective with 1957, the law changed this require ment to at least $l5O cash wages per year from one employer, or work on a time basis on at least 20 different days in the year for the same farm employer. Mary was thankful that Jim had taken the time to learn his responsibilities in reporting his farm hands, and that he had taken care of it as required. It meant the difference between hardship and a possible separa tion from her children and a monthly income she and the chil dren would now 'be getting on Tom’s social security account , which would allow them to re [ main together under the same roof.

How to save $750,000. You wouldn’t think that hard pressed North Carolina farmers would throw away three-quarters of a million dollars, but they did. This conservative estimate rep resents, the losses that farmers took last year because of one disease of swine—hog cholera. Most of these losses occurred in the eastern part of the state where hog population is great est, but western North Carolina had appreciable losses. This ( disease took a high toll last | year for mainly one reason— lack of vaccination. This has been blamed on the low price of hogs and a low incidence of hog cholera the previous year. Regardless of the cause, the I money lost because hogs were not vaccinated, and kil it could have bought, is gone for good. At present it is estimated that* no more than a third of the | jswine. , iiaae been vaccinated 1 against this preventable disease. State hog cholera losses report ed so far this year have been considerably higher than those for the same period last year. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY JULY 14, 1960. We may equal or exceed last, year’s losses unless many more hogs are vaccinated. Effective 1 vaccines are available. They should be used now before sum mer with its high incidence of •hog cholera gets under way. Remember, there is no cure for < ■jhis disease. Once it strikes a herd, losses may run as high as 100%. Have your hogs been vaccinated, or can you afford to lose your herd? j Hospital Notes | V* i,.. i nil ii .. ii'ii'.r i'i~' - ■ r | Visit!•£ Hour*: w:N-U:W A. «*., r. it. 6:04-8:00 P. M.
