Noted Authority To
Speak Farm VVeek
Raleigh, July 20. One of the
Nation's foremost authorities on
farm life and rural population, Dr.
O. E. Baker, of the U ,S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, will be one
of the chief speakers at Farm and
Home Week at State College, Au
gust 1-5.
He will arpear on the joint pro
gram for men and women Wednes
day and Thursday morning, said
John W. Goodman .assistant direc
tor of the State College extension
service and secretary of the con
vention. "To Rescue for Human Society
the Native Values of Rural Life",
will be the subject of Dr. Baker's
address Wednesday, and the next
day he will discuss, "The Drive of
Farm Youth and Wealth to the
Cities." One of the great drains
on farm wealth, he found, is
caused by rural people moving to
towns and cities.
At the joint session Tuesday
morning, Lynn Ramsey Adminis
ter, of the Department of State,
will discuss trade agreements with
other countries so as to facilitate
imports of commodities this coun
try needs to increase United
States exports of surplus agricul
tural and industrial products.
"Other countries cannot buy
more from us unless we buy more
from them," Goodman explained,
"and the trade agreements that
Mr. Edminster will discuss are of
vital importance to Southern agri
culture." Dean I. O. Schaub, director of
the extension service, has an
nounced that, at the request of
men and women who attended
Farm and Home week last year,
the evening programs must be
kept free from speach-making and
reserved for band music, group
singing, and other recreation and
entertainment.
An exception is being made for
Thursday evening, however, at
which time Gov. and Mrs. Clyde
R. Hoey will address a joint as
sembly of men and women in
Riddick Stadium, weather per
il. itting.
Record Hay Crop
Looms For State
Raleigh, July 20. Farmersof
North Carolina have prospects for
the greatest hay crop in the
State's history, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture July crop re
port revealed today.
Setting an all-time record, grow
ers have planted 1,028,000 acres
to hay this year, a six percent in
crease over last year's crop of
967,000 acres.
"The July crop survey indicates
a hay production of 874,000 tons,
with an average yield of .85 tons
per acre," W. H. Rhodes, the De
partment's chief statician said.
"This production, if realized, will
be greater by 50,000 tons than
that hervested last yeur, although
the yield per acre in prospect is
the same as last year's harvest.
"Last month was ideal for the
growth of all grasses and grass
type crops, as abundance of mois
ture is a most favorable factor in
its development," he added.
"The condition of pastures July
1, averaging 92 per cent of normal
for the State, represents an im
provement of eight per cent over
pasture conditions on June 1, and
was ten per cent above July con
ditions a year ago."
Rhodes said that "w hile it is too
eaily to forecast yields of some
hay crops, present prospects for
all types of hay are excellent."
Johnston County terraces that
were sown to lesnediza or lesne-
deza and grass held well against
the heavy rains this past season,
but where row crops were growing,
an;l the terraces did not have prop
er outlets, some of them over
flowed in the heaviest rains.
Extended rainy and cool weath
er occurring in North Carolina
during June has delayed crop
growith so that, generally, crops
are from two to three weeks later
than usual, reports the State De
partment of Agriculture.
Nine Cumberland County poul
trymen have protected 2,000 pul
lets from chicken pox by giving
them the vaccination.

Washington, N. C., July 18.
The employer's share in the old-
age insurance program begins with
his task of seeing that the social
security account number of each
wage-earner is reported to him, so
that the employee's account num
ber may be recorded, with his
wages, on the company's books.
Since the amount of old-age in
surance which any eligible worker
will receive depends on the
amount of his wages, a record
must be kept of those wages.
Wage reports are submitted at
regular intervals by the employer
to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
After these reports are checked,
they are used by the Social Securi
ty Board to enter the wages (as
repotted thereon) in the worker's
social security account.
Lump-sum payments are made
to workers who reach the age of 05
and meet some, not all, the quali
fications for monthly benefits.
Workers who reach age 65 and re
ceive lump-sum of old-age insur
ance are not required to give up
their regular jobs in covered em
ployment. Death payments are
made to the estates of insured
workers who die before receiving
payment. In either cese the lump
sum payment amounts to 31-2 per
cent of the worker's total wagees
since 1936, from jobs that come
under the law.
Employers may aid in the
prompt payment of benefits to
their employees by advising the
Social Security Board when an
employee reaches the age of 65 or
when one dies. Under Treasury
Regulations, the employer files,
with the Bureau of Internal Reve
nue, Form SS-3 within 15 days af
ter the time an employee reaches
age b5, or dies. If the employer
will, at the same time, fill our
Form OAC-1001 "Employer's
Statement of Wages" and send
it to the nearest Social Security
Board field office, he will expe
dite action on the employee's
claim.
