Since then he has grown so fat and lazy the The social security tax rate for persons whose work counts to ward old-age and survivors in surance is scheduled to increase on the first of January, Malcolm A. George, manager of the Fay etteville social security office, reminded employers, employees and self-employed people today. This scheduled increase in tax contribution is in accordance with the 1950 amendments to the soc ial security law, and was enacted by Congress in anticipation of future obligations of the program. Employees in jobs covered by the law will have 2 percent in stead of the present l'i percent deducted from their pay begin ning with the 'irst of January up to earnings of $3600 a year; their employers will contribute an e qual amount. The new rates will apply to all taxable wages paid after Decem ber 31, 1953, regardless of when earned. The social security tax for the self-employed 's scheduled to in crease from the present 24 per cent to 3 per cent, for the period commencing January 1, 1954. Since the self-employed whose work Is covered by the law pay their tax just once yearly at the time of filing their Federal In come tax return, they will pay the present 2 "4 percent social se curity tax on their 1953 income that counts toward social secur ity. This will be due not later than March 15, 1954. Their first payments at the increased rate of 3 percent will be due March 15, 1955, for the calendar year 1954. In the meantime the Internal Revenue Service reports that em ployers will be furnished late this year with income tax withholding tables and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) tables reflecting rates ap plicable next year. The next scheduled increase, six years from now, in I960, will be to 2Vi percent each for em ployer and employee, and to 3 percent for the self-employed. o Insects can i educe the weight of stored grain 25 per cent or more.

Certified FOR YOUR FALL PLANTING Coker's Victorgrain 48 93 Certified Oats Coker's Fulgrain Certified Oats We Also Have Atlas 50 Wheat and Arlington Oats The Johnson Company High Demand For Meat Forecast For Next Year Next year will be another year of large supplies of red meat. And consumption is also expected to continue high. Retail prices in 1954 are expected to average about the same as in 1953. This was the prediction today of W. C. Williford, Hoke County agent for the State . College Extension Service. Mr. Williford summed up the findings of the recent Agricul tural Outlook Conference. For 15 years, he said, cattle prices have been unusually high as compared with prices for all farm comodi ties. Now, even though they- are at the lowest point since 1946, cattle prices are still more fav orable in relation to other farm prices than they were during the 1910-14 base per'od which is used for parity computations. "They are lower, however, than could because of their longterm trend upward," he said. "Persistent declines in cattle prices over the past two years appear to be about ended, but the forecast does not indicate that they will regain their levels of a year or two ago." Nationwide, fewer cattle are being put on feed grains for fat tening this fall than last. This means the supply of finished cat tle in the first half of 1954 is likely to be smaller next year, but the supply of grass-fed beef will remain high, the county a gent said the outlook report in dicated. Grass-fed beef usually r : x xx :; grades as Good, Commercial, or Utility, according to government standards. Consumption of beef in 1953 appears to have reacred an all time high of 75 pounds per cap ita if it continues at its presest level to the year's end. For meat in general, including poultry, consumption is higher than usual at 178 pounds per person, ac cording to statistics. 0 Grain is gaining popularity in North Carolina as a livestock feed.
