Fitts, member of the North Carolina Department of Ag riculture, spoke to members of the Zebulon Farm Bureau last Monday night on the proper care of soil and proper fertilization practices.

This was the greatest quantity ever received in a single day. Soil Testing Demonstrated Methods of testing the soil to de termine its suitability for crops and its fertilizer needs were dem onstrated. Dr. Fitts recently toured South America observing farming prac tices there. He visited coffee plan tations badly damaged by frost.

Pointing out that social security benefits payable to a self-employ ed person and his family in his old age, or to his dependents in case of his death, are based on earnings credited to his social security ac count, Ingle stressed the import ance of correct reporting. “It costs the worker as well as the Govern ment additional time and expense when an incomplete or incorrect return has to be straightened out," he declared. This guide to accurate reporting of self-employment net income is available for the asking at the Ral eigh and other social security of fices.
