FARM HEMS
By W. C. Williford
County Farm Agent
One of the biggest decisions
you will have to make in Social
Security is whether you are an
employer or an employee (farm
worker).
Renting or leasing for cash or
other rent qualifies you as a self
employed farmer. You make out
a social security report if your
net earnings are $400.00 or more.
A general rule for farm own
ers: 1'nless you rent or lease
your farm for a definite amount
and have no say-so in manage
ment you will be self-employed
for social security purposes. If
you lease it out for a definite a
mount you are not considered a
self-employed farmer.
Share crop farming may make
you either a self-employed farm
er or a farm worker, for social
security purposes, depending on
your lease arrangements.
If you pay the land owner a
share of the crop as rent, you are
a self-employed farmer. If the
landlord or farm operator pays
you a share of the crop, or a
share of the income from the
crop, as pay for your work, then
you are a farm worker. The farm
operator will deduct your social
security tax from your pay.
These are only general guides.
If in doubt your nearest social
security office can help you.
B. L. and R. H. Williamson,
who are farming under a Father
Son Agreement in the Qucwhiffle
community, are fully realizing
the value of their forest.
During the summer, they were
affected with the severe drought.
Hurricane "Hazel" tore down a
largo part of their shelters, and
about 1200 pounds of their best
tobacco was stolen and not re
covered. They are selling enough of
their largest trees for timber to
get their over-populated forest
stands thinned to a proper ratio.
They are also selling IhiSr slabs
and tops to a pulpwood company.
The pulpwood company is also
going to get some standing tim
ber in places where the small
pines are too thick.
After the thinnin:; process is
completed on the areas which
are too thick, Bcrniec and his
father plan to tsart establishing
a stand in the nreas that do not
have- a good stand of pines. Most
of these areas are dominated by
Turkey oaks which have no com
mercial value.
They are planning to burn these
sections of the forest in a con
trolled burning program. The
purpose of the burning is to get
the layer of mulch off of the
ground so the pine seeds can
reach the ground and germinate.
On areas that a stand cannot be
established in this summer, the
Williamsons will secure seedlings
and set them out.
This is a long ramte forcstrv
project and will be carried out
with the different agencies such
as the Extension, Sni Conserva
tion, and Forestry Services cooperating.
Those of us in the path of
Hurricane "Hazel" have numer-
ous trees and shrubs that need
first aid. Many of oilr trees are
beyond help, but many can be
leclaimed and most shrubs can
be saved.
If your trees are valuable, call
in a tree expert if one is avail
able. However, they will be busy
fur months with so many trees
needing immediate attention. Here
are some repair jobs you can
tackle yourself.
Small trees and shrubs that
are leaning can be straightened
by tying a rope about half way
up the trunk and pulling the tree
bark to its fuimer position. You
may have to remove some soil
opposite the leaning side to get
'he roots to t,o back in place.
Since many of the roots will have
been broken, you should prune
the plant severely at the time of
straightened to balance the top
and root sys'em. In many cases
I as much as one half to three
fftur'hs of tlie top should be re-
mover!. Make a ring of soil a
1 round the tree to hold water and
I water the plant slowly to thor
oughly saturate the soil. Then
! keep the soil moist until winter
j rains tome, but don't drown the
plant by keeping the soil too
wet. After straightening the plant,
guy it with wire (use rags or
rubber hose around trunk to pre
vent wire from cutting bark) in
'liree directions. This will keep
i lant from being blown .about
by the wind. Small shrubs and
roses can be straightened up,
pruned and the soil packed a
round the roots and no bracing
will be necessary.
Many limbs have been split or
broken. Broken limbs should be
j removed adjacent to another
limb or the trunk. Don't leave a
stub, it will die back to the next
limb or the trunk. Smooth all
wounds with a wood chisel and
paint with a tree-wound dress
ing. If no tree-wound dressing is
available, use asphalt paint. If
asphalt is too thick, thin it with
mineral oil. There is an excellent
USDA bulletin entitled "Care of
Damaged Shadj Trees." This bul
letin gives information on prun
ing, bracing, wound treatment
and feeding. You can get a copy
by writing Superintendent of Do
cument;, U. S. Government Print
ing Office, Washington 25, D. C.
The price is 10 cents.
Shrubs that were damaged by
wind of falling limbs may need
a severe pruning. Remove all
skinned or broken limbs and if
the plant has been damaged too
badly, it may be advisable to
prune off the entire top. Most
shrubs will come back again and ,
form a well shaped top. Healing
can be hastened by feeding your
irees and shrubs. Give them a
iifiht feeding now and a heavier
feeding when growth starts next
spring. A good general purpose
fertilizer is an 8-8-8.

QUALITIES THAT MAKE FOR
ATTRACTIVENESS it's a sum
ming up of such characteristics
as health, manners, posture,
clothes, make-up, hair and above
all basic cleanliness. A beauliful
face with a sullen manner does
not make for attractiveness nor
does shining hair if the eye is
dull, the complexion muddy, and
dress slovenly.
A beautiful face or figure is n
gift but is not essential to at
tractiveness. If you need further
proof, look around you. Are the
class presidents all beautiful
girls? Is the leading lady in the
junior play a beauty? What about
the most popular girl you know.
She may or may not bo beautiful.
And even that most sought after
of all distinctions, to lead the
prom, more than likely will be
given to a girl with a ra'her plain
face but with poise, grooming.
