KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
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 Building.
It’s that time of the year
again. And the fanners around
here —along with those all over
the nation —are going through
their books to let Uncle Sam
know how they came out money
wise in 1960.
One point rarmers may want
to keep in mind in figuring their
earnings for social security, pur
poses is that they may be en
titled to use an optional method.
(1) If your gross income from
agricultural self-employment is
not more than SI,BOO, you may
count as your net farm earnings
either your actual net or 2/3 j
of your farm gross income;
(2) If your gross farm income
is more than SI,BOO, and your
net farm earnings are less than
$1,200, you may use either your
actual net or $1,200:
If your gross farm income is
more than SI,BOO, and your net
farm earnings are $1,200 or
more, you must use the actual
amount of your net earnings.
Because of the option avail
able, self-employed farmers with
gross income as low as S6OO
can obtain social security credit
for 1960 —and so build protec
tion for themselves in their old
age, or if they become disabled,
and protection for their sur
vivors in case of death.
Some farm owners who receive
cash-rent or crop shares from
tenant farmers can get social
security credit for that income.

agreement with his tenant, ma

Additional Funds
For Farm Housing
I
Credit Available For
For Eligible Families
Balance of Year
An additional SSO million has
I been made available to the
Farmers Home Administration
for farm housing loans, Donald
W. Norman, the agency’s super
visor, has announced.
He said that the new loan
funds assure an adequate supply
of this type of credit for eligible
farm families during the bal
ance of the fiscal year. Loans
made so far this year plus those
1 being processed had practically
exhausted the funds previously
available.
Farm Housing loans are made
throughout the rural areas of the 1
United States. The loans pro
ivide farm families with an op
j poitunity to acquire adequate
i homes, farrowing houses, pig
parlors, grain storage facilities
and machinery sheds.
Applications for farm housing
loans may be made at the local'
office of the Farmers Home Ad- j
ministration, Mr. Norman said. '
The loans bear 4 per cent inter- !
est and are repayable over peri
ods up to 33 years.
To be eligible a farmer must
own a farm that will annually
produce for sale or home use at
least S4OO worth of commodities
based on 1944 prices and be of
sufficient value to adequately se
cure the loan. In addition, he
THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTN CAROLINA. THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 196 t
must have sufficient income to
pay farm operating and family
living expenses and meet pay
ments when due on his debts.
Mr. Norman stated that funds
continue to be available to help
eligible farmers meet their farm
ing expenses. In addition to
their regular operating loan pro
gram the agency has additional
loan funds for this area with
the emergency loan program.
This type of loan can be used
for furnishing eligible farmers
money to buy their seeds, gas,
fertilizer and other crop and
livestock expenses.
