Farm Facts
Out of every dollar spent by
the housewife for groceries,
the farmer gets only 38
cents.
“Why, then,” complains the
housewife, "does my grocery
bill keep going up?”
In the first place, lady, the
purchasing power of your dol
lar is being diminished stead
ily by inflation. A dollar in
1941 would buy twice as much
as today’s dollar.
Then, too, you’re demanding
more convenience—cellophane
wrapped meats, ready-to-bake
biscuits, whole meals in foil
serving plates. These extras
figure in your bill.
Although the cost of the
Family Food Basket went up
$154 between 1947 and 1958,
the farm value of food in it
dropped S4O, while labor costs
advanced SIOO and transport
ation costs went up s3l. The
farmer got $20.8 billion of the
$57.7 billion spent for food
in 1958, as compared with
$17.5 billion for labor.
Costs of higher wages,
taxes, etc., are being passed
along to the consumer. The
farmer, however, can’t add
them to his selling price snd
KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY 1
John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North
Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the
Citizens Bank Buildng.
The social security law now
provides workers with an “ace
in the hole” potentially worth
thousands of dollars, particular
ly to the relatively young work
er with a young family.
The 1960 amendments to the
•law removed the age-50 limita
tion on when a disabled worker
can start receiving cash bene
fits. Regardless of his age at
the onset of disability, any
worker who meets disability
requirements of the law can
now receive cash payments
monthly for himself and depend
ent children.
Depending upon past earnings,
disabled workers with two or
more children can receive as
much as $254 monthly. In terms!
of income over extended periods ■
of disability, these benefits can
mean several thousands of dol
lars at a time when family in
come is much reduced or has
stopped.
Payments to the disabled ,
worker continue until recovery,
death, or age 65. If a disabled]
worker reaches 65, benefits con
tinue, but as retirement, rather j
than disability, benefits. If the|
disabled worker dies before
reaching 65, his widow and sin- j
gle children under age 18 be- 1
gin getting social security sur- j
vivors benefits. Family benefits
stop when the youngest child
reaches 18 or marries, but the
worker’s widow is again entitled
to social security benefits when
she is 62.
The social security law- ap- ]
plies, of course, to disabled wo
men workers as well as to dis-1
abled men workers. The dis-!
abled woman worker and chil- j

’ While tobacco and cotton continue to head the list of
our principal crops, few North Carolinians are aware
that we are leading producers of a greater variety of j
commercial crops than is grown in perhaps any other *
state. For example, we are second only to Georgia in
production of peanuts, and raise more sweet potatoes
than all other states except Louisiana. We are the lead
ing corn producing state outside of the Midwestern
Corn Belt, and only nine states produce more soybeans
than North Carolina! - >
In. rural as in urban areas. North Carolinians are
equally progressive in their attitudes toward the system
of “legal control" of the sale of beer and ale, as being in.

he gets less of the food dollar.
The farmer is not to blame

than he could in 1947.
dren under age 18 and unmar
ried for whose support she is
responsible get monthly disa
, bility regardless of her age if
she is under 65. If she dies,
survivor benefits continue for
each child until he reaches age
18 or marries. ,
Two conditions determine!
whether a worker who has beetij
seriously injured or has become i
seriously ill can receive social!
security disability benefits: (1)1
the length of time the worker!
has been employed under social
security, and (2) the severity of
his illness or injury.
If a worker has social security
credit for 20 calendar quarters
in the 10-year period ending
when he became disabled, he
qualifies, work-wise, for disa- >
bility benefits. Roughly, this is I
5 years of covered employment
or self-employment out of the 10
years just prior to disability.
The 5 years' do not have to be’
consecutive; nor is it necessary
ror work to be steady.
The worker’s physical or men
tal impairment must make it
impossible for him to —in the
words of the law—“engage in
any substantial gainful activity.
This inability to do gainful work
applies both to the job he is
in when he becomes disabled 1
and to any other work he may
be able to do despite his handi
cap. The mental or physical
condition must be one that will |
show up in medical examinations
and tests. Further, it must be,
expected to last a long and in-|
definite time or to result in
death. The person’s age, educa
tion, training, and skills are also
considered in determining
whether he can get social se
curity disability benefits.
Illnesses and^injuries usually
severe enough to prevent a per
son from doing .gainful work in
clude loss of the use of limbs;
loss of sight; brainage damage;
and heart and lung conditions
which make it hard to do such
things as stand, bend, and move
about. Further, the disabling
condition must have lasted for
at least 6 months before he can
receive payments.
A seriously, ill or injured
worker may apply at his nearest
social security office to find out
if he is eligible.
Disabled workers who had
their social security records
“frozen" under the old law are
being informed by the Social
Security Administration when to
expect payments. Seriously ill
or injured workers under 50 who
did not have their records “fro
zen" may now be eligible for
monthly payments and should
