an old-age assistance law which has'
been approved by the Social Security

Answer; -The Social Security Act;
says the1 employer "shall deduct" the'
income tax levied under Title VIII on
employees' r wages "when and as
paid". The Bureau of Internal Re-'
venue, however, has ruled that if an
employer chooses to do so he may
himself pay the income tax for the
employee and such payment will not
be additional, and therefore taxable,
wages.. .
Rtmninir Water Is
: A Home Necessity
A home without a water system
could be worseit might have no
heat to keep it warm in winter.
But next to heat, a good water sys
tem is the most needed convenience
for the farm .. home, said Rachel
Everett, Johnston County home agent
of the State College extension ser
vice. And a fairly complete water sys-
tern can be installed for less than
the cost of 'an 'electric refrigerator,
she pointed out
Johnston County home demonstra
tion club women have taken a great
interest in water, systems lately, she
continued, and at every club meeting
water is a subject of discussion. .,
, . '"At . one meeting, every . woman
, present saidjshe had promised her-7-.
self to have running water in her
..home before ithe end of -the yeary"
Miss Everett? continued. '1. $ , -

' have found a place where tools are

pose of putting?!! water aystema.

' bHlties of putting- in a sink and a

Security Farm Tenure
s - Goal
ThaFarm Security ' Administration
of the U.' 9. Department of Agricul
ture will stress better leasing ar
rangements between i landlords - and
tenants in the interest of both parties
to the contract and as an aid to the
success of its ' program, ' John - H.
Pope, . County Rural Rehabilitation
Supervisor for the FSA announced
from his office In Edenton.'
' According to Mr. Porei the need
fur better- leaaecouuavv -Hluiling
such provisions as longer, rental; pe
riods, security to the landlord for
the protection of his property and
security to the tenant for reimburse
ment for improvements made by him,
has been brought convincingly to the
attention of supervisors . during the
paBt two years in connection with
their ' program to ; help : financially
handicapped farmers and tenants to
get on their feet again by means of
Rehabilitation supervised loans, a
work which since. Resettlement's re
cent . liquidation, is being carried on
by supervisors under Jhe newly estab
lished Farm Security Administration.
A large percentage of farmers need
ing these Rehabilitation loans are
tenants, he said, and it has been
found easier' to work, out a sound
farm plan for families who. have sat
isfactory 'leasing contracts.
; In many ; eases I the : applicant for
these loans' needs credit! not only for
livestock; and . " equipment---article8
which can be taken with him if he is
required to move but also credit for
soil improvement items, such as lime
and seed for permanent' pasture, the
returns from which the .tenant will
not be able to realize in dollars and
cents the first year and which he can
not take away with him when he
moves. ' i
Rehabilitation supervised loans are
repayable over a period, of from one
to five years, the longer period being
provided to iriv the borrower mora
time in which topay for these items
which are, expected to produce results
over a period of years.. , Where' such
applicant is a tenant, -', a satisfactory
leasing arrangement makes it easier,
other qualifications and . conditions
being favorable, to work out a prac
tical farm plan with suitable crop
rotation and to extend the-Joan over
the -longer period. In many cases, it
has been found impossible to work
out a suitable farm plan , or to ap-

prove a loan until a satisfactory lease
has been secured.
Now that the Farm Security Ad
ministration has been set up to tackle
the farm -tenancy problem,' security
of farm .tenure, whether by tenants
or owners, has been, recognized , as
the real goal, Mr. Pope said. '
"One? read 'to security of tenure is
by ownerahlp.fbufe appropriations, f9r
thepresenfat 1eat,rV to limited
that loans to buy farms can be made
to only a small percentage of tenants
desiring . farms of their own,- The
Rural Rehabilitation supervised, loans
(which do not include money for, land
purchase) will continue as 4he major
activity, of the FSA.. Therefore the
second road to security of tenure
must be emphasised, namely, better
leases, improved relationship between
landlord and snt ; The i . problem
resolves itself into 'one of developing
a . leasing contract I whkh: will ; rive
tbetet.;iri;e-.ialregtr iriJio-operi
ating with the owner in making im
provements for their mutual advantage.-
(." . .' ,i t ( ?'
Mr. Pope stated that his agency
is working hand - . in hand with 'the
Extension Service, Agricultural col
leges and other agencies whkh have
been stressing the need for better
leases in an educational way but that
FSA finds it necessary to meet the
problem in a practical', way and be
cause of the fact that his ' agency's
loan and farm management system is
designed to wprk in the interest , of
both landlord and tenant, , it is' be
lieved that, a practical incentive for
better leases Jus, been 'I found 'and
tnat in , time, with the continued co
operation of the above named educa
tional agencies, his common incentive
for the -better leases will be generally
recognized. '4.-V'-i&:

1 Seed-treatment to control damping
off ?tpr:b has increased the value of
Ncrlh C. rolina'a cotton .crop an esti
mtnd $",000,000 this year.
' lim eaiimaie by Dr. Luther Shaw, '
extcnipto tlant pathologist at State
College; is based on the results se
cured in seed-treating demonstrations -over
the State. '- - ' "'
. Demonstrations were conducted on
100 farms. Results tabulated so far
from 74 farms showed that the treat
ed seed produced an average of 1,278 ;
pounds of Seed cotton per acre, while :
untreated seed yielded, .only 1,042
pounds per acre. ,

19.11 cents. r ..
It costs but 25 cents to treat with
Cere san (.two per cent tehyl mercury
chloride dust) enough seed to plant
an acre.) The net profit from treat
ing, then, was figured at 88.91 per
acre. ,5 ; J 1 -,
. Since 225,000 acres or cotton werey-
planted with treated1 seed last spring
Dr. Shaw estimates that if the ave!
age for, the demonstrations . hold
good for all the other,1 farms, " the
total increased' value would be
$2,004,700. . - -- "
-. Dr. Shaw added that in some of
the demonstrations much larger dif
ferences were noted. - '
On the farm of C D. Branch, in
Columbus ' County; untreated seed
produced 1,146 pounds of seed cotton
per acre, while treated seed gave a
yield of 2,031 pounds-a difference of
885 pounds.' ; , ,
C E. Bell, Nash County, increased
his yield from 1,146 to 1,722 pounds
per acre, arid A, J. Beaver, Iredell
County, Increased his yield from 833
to 169 pounds by treating their
seed.
