payments.
Recent inquiries received by the
field office, .Mr. Martin said, in
dicate a belief on the part of
some workers that they need to
pay for the .services of an out
side person in order to be sure
that their rights are protected. He
explained- that the Social Security
Hoard has the duty, of keeping
accurate wage records and paying
insurance benefits to all eligible
persons and that it has established
procedures to carry out these re
sponsibilities fully. He added, how
ever, that the Board's procedures
do not prohibit the worker from
being represented by an outside
person if he so wishes.
Mr. Martin explained that the
field office is prepared to give all
claimants workers past 65 and the
families of workers who have
died-pall possible assistance in fil
ing their claims for this, insurance.
These services are given free of
charge.
He further stated that the board
has established procedures. by which
anyone who questions the decis
ion of the bureau concerning his
rights to insurance payments can
ask for a hearing on his claim
before a regional refree. If he is
still dissatisfied after this review,
he can appeal his case to the Ap
peals Council in Washington.
Thereafter he, of course, would
still have recourse to the. Federal
District Court for his District.
In explanation of procedures
established by the Board, Mr. Mar
tin .stated that any worker who
wishes to check the wages credit
ed to him can get a self-address:
ed form for this purpose at the
field office. If he fills this in and
mails it, he will promptly receive
a report from the Board's central
wage-record office at Baltimore,
which will show the wages ' re
ported by his employer and credit
ed to his account. If he. believes
there is any error in the amount
of wages credited to him, the field
office will make every effort : to
clear up the matter.
Timber Farming
In The South
Senior Forester, Forest Service
Timber growing or forest farm
ing is now a major industry in
the South.
In the old days lumbermen
found the forest already grown.
Not until the old growth was prac
tically all cut off did people begin
to realize that if there was to be
timber in the future it must be
grown as a crop.
Trees, like other crops, require
some attention if they are to yield
the highest returns. They need to
be protected from fire and to be
properly harvested; but, unlike
most crops, they require no culti
vation, no fertilizer, and only a
small amount of care.
Timber farming means protect
ing trees and forests from fire
and using the ax and saw rightly.
How should these tools be used ?
First, instead of harvesting the
trees when young and small, allow
the straightest and best trees o
grow to make high-quality pro
ducts, such as poles, piling, veneer
bolts, and sawloks. Meanwhile cut
out and use all the poorer and
crowded trees. When such cutting
is rightly done, the products ob
tained will usually pay for. the , cp
eration. Incidentally, good practice
involves prunning the lower limbs,
which increases both the quality
and the value of the resulting
timber growth.
With a little thought and action,
timber farming can be made to
pay. Timber stands can be cut so
as to yield harvests every few
years. Owners are sacrificing hun
dreds or thousands of dollars year
ly by cutting their timber when
too young, cutting only the most
promising trees, or cutting the
stands too clean. The average small
owner should cut lightly and fre
quently. Large timberland owners
can afford, if they wish, to cut
somewhat more heavily and less
frequently.
Because trees grow rapidly and
reclaim waste lands readily, if j
protected from fire, timber farm
ing in the Southern States is not
difficult Moreover, the wide va
riety of products obtainable from
southern pines at various stages of
growth and the valuable uses which
trees serve make the practice of
forestry in the Southern States an

State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Q. Is it profitable to grind feeds
for beef cattle?
A. Grinding feeds does not in
crease their nutritive value nor
does it increase the digestibility of
feeds that can be masticated
thoroughly. However, the- small,
hard-coated grains such as rye,
wheat, and barley should be
ground or rolled. In' all cases, the
grinding should be coarse as feeds
that are finely ground are. apt to
eause digestive- troubles and are
also more liable to-heat anl spoil
in the bin. With corn it is much
more economical to feed the whole
grain.
Q, When should culling be start
ed in the poultry f lock ?
A. When test results arc .secur
ed culling is almost a continuous
process, for the entire flock but
with laying hens the time for the
most rigid culling is toward the
end of the laying period. This usu
ally occurs .from July until No
vember. The wise poultryman will
begin to check his hens in May
and June for signs of molt a
many hens go into a molt as early
as June of July. The. earlier the
molt the more rigid the culling and
those birds that go into a molt in
June and Julf should be removed
from- the flock.

A New Aladdin
Can the average American vis
ualize himself as having the Aladdin-like
power of summoning a
hundred slaves to do his' biddirig?
Through industry's use of power
driven tools which help build auto
mobiles, telephones! . subways and
the like, he has more applied en
ergy at his service than if he had
a large retinue, of .servants.
According to Dr. Robert A. Mil
likan, the eminent physicist, the
average American today commands
a hundred slaves in the form of
power machines.1
Says this world renowned scien--tist:
-' .
"In this country there is now
expended about 13.5 hp-.hr., per day
per capita the equivalent of 1(X)
Arabian slaves for each 6f us; in
England the figure is 6.7, in Ger
many 6.0, in France . 4.5, in Japan
1.8, in Russia 0.9, in China 0.5. In
the last analysis this use of power
is why bur most, important social
changes come about.
"This is why we no longer drive
our ships with human slaves
chained to the oars as did the
Roman, and ihe Greeks
"This is why wx no longer -enslave
whole peoples, as did the
Pharaohs, for building Oiir public
structures and. lash them to their
tasks.
"This is why 10 times as many
boys and girls are in the high
schools today in the United States'
as were there in 1800 more than
five, million, now, half a million
then. . ..-.
"This is why we have now an

"This is whyi we have on the
average an automobile for every
family in-the country. -This is why
the lowest class of male : labor
. . . gets nearly twice as much in
real wages in the United States
as in England, three times as
much as in Germany or France,
and 13 times as much as in Russia."-'.
The American industrial system,
with its . useful machinery, has
created more wealth and distri
buted it more widely than any
system in the world.
In the forefront has' been the
automobile industry unknown ' in
1870 and consisting of just a small
group of mechanics and( bench
hands at the turn of the century
vhich has expanded into a giant
industry making possible, directly
and indirectly, an annual employ
ment of 6,380,000 people.
