FARMERS SHOW -.i
INTEREST IN
NEW SS LAW
Cherokee County farmers con
tinue to show a lively interest in ;
recent amendments to the Social t
Security Act covering their (arm
earnings, it was learned today
from a representative of the
AshevHle District Office.
The representative pointed out
that farm operators will repor',
their 1958 Income for social secur
ity purposes at the same time they
file their individual income tax re
turns with the Director of Inter
nal Revenue. The frst such return
would be due April, 1956.
Farmers have the right to de
clare one-half of their gross farm
earnings as profit if the gross is
under $1,800. If a farmer's gross (
exceeds 11,800, itemized expenses
must them be listed. A farmer
must have a net of at least $400 be
fore he is liable for the tax.
It was suggested that some sor.
of record be kept by the farm oper
ator of his income and expenses in
order that he may be able to prove
a right to social security benefits.
Only income and expenses attri
buted to the farm operation are
counted in this report. Household
expenses ares not included, nor is
income received as rental for a
farm, including rental paid In
crop shares.

Livestock producers could In

juries to animals en route to mar

This observation grew out a f an j
analysis by the Farmer Cooper
ative Service of the U. 8. Depart- j
ment of Agriculture of loss and
damage to livestock delivered by
a number of cooperative shipping
associations to three markets.
Most producers seek to protect
themselves from losses by insuring
their animals for the haul from

handling animals result In unneces
sarily high charges for insurance
protection.
Producers also lose money
through lower prices at the mar
ket. Bruise damage not detected
until after slaughter represents a
loss to the processor, and buyers
often discount stock from a pro
ducer with a poor record on bruise
losses. A producer with such a re
cord may find himself "a last re
sort" source to be used only when
meat supplies cannot be obtained
elsewhere.
I The report suggests that tran
sit damages and losses could b a
cut substantially if livestock pro
