Development of new Uses for agri
cultural commodities offers some hope
for future - improvement in farm
conditions. It is one of the most
important things that the Federal
Government is doing for the farmer.
To the South, it will mean new de
mands for farm nroducts. new indus
tries and new fields of employment
As the Government has helped agri
culture tnrougn better weather re-
Congress for the important work
being done by the men and women in
the Federal service who are quietly

ways m Helping the farmer, are men
and women who are making their
activities their life work. They are
immune to politics. They daily go
about their laboratory and field work
quietly and with a degree of interest
displayed by perhaps no other class
oi reaerai workers.
The present effort to help the
farmer by developing new uses for
agricultural products, will also give
loyal Federal emnlnveea new tools
with which to do a job in which they
are vitally interested

BETHEL NEWS
m
research cannot be overestimated and
carries benefits that accrue to busi
ness and industry as well as the
farmer, it is a type of Federal act
ivity that gets too little , public at
tention. It is not headline news.
Only when some new and revolutio
nary, discovery is made do our peo
ple generally learn of the effort
made.
President Roosevelt has shown ai
high degree of interest in the develop
ment of new uses of southern ag
ricultural products. In connection
with pending legislation to establish
a regional research laboratory for
this purpose, the President suggested
that the states cooperate to the ex
tent of nrovidintr buildinra and
grounds, saying: "I consider the aims
. .1. . i l' Li
ana purposes oi ine project nigiuy
meritorious and would be willing to
favor the Federal Government doing
its part to further them."
More recently, the Government has
set aside $100,000 to be used for ex
perimentingj with a view to expand
ing the M&et of cotton and cotton pro
ducts. A,.wide variety . .and novel
fields are undoubtedly available for
the use of cotton, ranging from wind
breaks to control soil-blowing to its
use in the building of highways,

There is some reason for the belief, Lane, Curtis Lane,
that when new farm legislation is j Walter Ray Benton,
drafted it will contain a provision
for the establishment of regional re
search laboratories to find new uses
for farm products. Where those lab-
nrstnrioa will he Waled is vet to be
: decided, but whether in North Caro-
. lina or elsewhere the beneiits to
'' farmers will be eaual.
if There, are many possibilities for the
; extension of present uses of agricul
tural products in industry. Already
research is underway that indicates
, that large quantities of sweet pota
' toes may be used to manufacture
starches used in the textile industry
and now imported. ' New oils, new
I chemicals, can be produced on the
' farm. Some chemists say that there
l is even some possibility of synthesiz-
ing rubber from the forest product
turpentine.
New industrial products having
, special properties are expected from
rthe processing of vegetable oils, such
as Unseed, soybean and tung oils.
'Industrial1 -plants are always on the
alert for new chemicals and means
of producing them. There is also
hope that the Congress will give
more and more attention to protect
- big the American market, where oils
ftnd chemicals now being imported
can be produced in this country.
Some ' progress has been made and
more laboratory work on the part of
tha nnvemmont will linifanhtaHIv im-

Question: Can a farmer receive
old-age benefits? If so, to whom
would he pay taxes? I am 53 years
of age.
Answer: The obligations and bene
fits under the Social Securitv Art
are not optional. Agricultural labor
is specifically excepted under the
Act. Farmers and farm inri
however, come under the act when
tney engage in any other employ
ment which is not BDecifipallv ev-
cepted under Title VIII of the Social
Security Act. For examnle. mnninir

tne Bureau of Internal Revenue which

employee if he worked for someone
else. As an employee, encaired in a
covered employment, he would be
eligible to OUalifv for benefits Ac
long as you engage in purely farm
work you can not come under the
old-age benefits provision of the Act.
As a farmer and as an employer,
however, you benefit from the bene

begun to draw monthly old-age bene
fits "checks under the Social Security
Act! What will happen then?
Answer: Your monthly benefits

amount of the monthly check will
depend on the total amount of wages
you have earned. If, when you die,

My wife worked before we were mar
ried and had an account number and
paid taxes on her salarv. She does
not work now and possibly will not
wuir any more, can she get any
money under the Social Security Act
ior me time she has already worked ?
Answer: The wages she has
earned will stand to her credit until
she reaches 65. If she should earn
more wages between this date and
the time she reaches 65, these, like
wise, will be credited to her account
She will not draw monthly benefits,
however, until she reaches 65. Should
she die before she is 65 a lump-sum
payment equal to 3 1-2 per cent of
her wages earned since December 81,

excepted under Title VIII f the so
cial Security Act, will be made her
