sified as additional payroll,
but no one can question the
fact that the circulation of
these funds contributes heav
ily to our economy. Recent
ly, I was supplied a break
down of payments within the
First District and the figures
I hope will be of interest to
you. For the entire 19 coun
ties, according to the 1969
figures, there were 55,017
people drawing social secur
ity checks. The total figure
for the district during the
year 1969 was $42.6 million
annually, while under the
new law, this will increase
to $49.3 million each year.
We list below the breakdown
of each county—the first fig
ure being the total number of
recipients as of December 31,
1969, and a comparison for
each county’s annual total
under the old law and the
new.

'Further research revealed
the following figures: for
fiscal year 1969, employees
and employers of this nation
contributed $33 billion 908
million dollars. For fiscal
1970 it is projected that this
figure will rise to S3B billion,
645 million dollars; while for
fiscal 1971 it will increase to
$42 billion, 253 million dol
lars.
The number of people par
ticipating in the social se
curity program were 92.2
million in 1989; a projected
figure for 1970 of 93.7 million
and 95.5 million in 1971.
With respect to the bene
fits paid out by social secur
ity annually, that is, old age
survivors insurance and dis
ability, the figure for 1969
was $26 billion, 175 million
dollars. *The projected fig
ure of 1970 is $29 billion, 154
million dollars, and for 1971,
$32 billion, 897 million dol
lars.
I have been asked many
times about the actuary
soundness of the social secur
ity program. I believe the
figures listed above show an
intake of some 25 per cent in
receipts over disbursements.

The gladiolus is a very
popular and satisfactory cut
flower and is not too diffi
cult to grow in the home
flower garden. Thqy come in
a great variety of colors and
are most satisfactory after
cutting because they last so
long when cut and placed in
the home, church, school or
given to friends. They are
not too choosy about soil
types cither as long as they
arc reasonably good and well
drained. The plants should
have full sunshine all day for
best results.
Another very fine feature
about this crop is that you
can have flowers practically
all through the growing sea
son by succession planting—
a new planting every two or
three weeks.
Select corms (“bulbs”) of
good size which have been
treated for diseases and in
sects. Plant the corms about
four inches deep in rows
about three feet apart. The
corms should be spaced about
four inches apart in the
rows.
The larger corms have
good reserve ifood storage
making heavy applications of
fertilizer unnecessary. I
would suggest the use of one
pint of an 8-8-8 mixture
(granular form, not pettets)
for each 50 feet of row. The
fertilizer should be applied a
week or so before planting
the corms and should be well
incorporated with the soil.
(Slose contact with fertilizer
may result in damage to
tender roots so thorough mix
ing with the soil is import
ant.
The time of planting will
vary considerably, depending
upon where you are located.
In Eastern Carolina the com
mercial growers plant in late
January or early February,
depending upon soil condi
tions. In the upper and low
er Piedmont, planting may
be done the latter part of
March, and in the mountains
from the middle to the latter
part of April.
For control of the gladi
o'.ous thrip, begin dusting the
plants when 6-8 inches high.
Repeat every ten days until
three or four applications
have been made. Use 5 per
cent malathion dust. For
saife use, follow instructions
printed on the container.
There are many gcod va
rieties of glads from which
you may choose.
