Fruits Top list Of "Plentifals" Fruits-fresh, frozen and canned will be plentiful In the South east in August, Miss Launa Brashaws, county home demon stration agent for State College Extension Service, said this week She explained that peaches, pears, lemons limes, frozen concentrated orange juice, and frozen and canne dlemon prod ucts all are on the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture's plentiful foods list for the month. Other items on the plentiful foods list include fish, turkeys, nonfat dry milk, chcddar cheese, and such vegetables as sweet corn, tomatoes,' and snap beans. Many of the pears on the Aug ust' markets will be west coast Bartletts: Normally about two thirds of the crop Is canned. How ever, June 1 carry over stocks this year were nearly three times as large as a year ago. These large carryover supplies may mean less demand from canners for the current crop and conse quently more pears for fresh market outlets. Potato production this year Is estimated at 339 million bushels, based on harvestings to date and condition of the growing crop on July 1. This is 4 per cent larger than last year's crop of 325.7 million bushels, but is 18 per cent below the 1941-50 average. Lemon trees are more easily injured by cold than are orange trees.

Meld Hep. Ga*to<*la ?od<sl Security Office SitU 5S? EE: wiRxyAr-' , About 50% more people than usual, applied lor old-age insur ance payments during July, ac cording to Miss Margaret H. Low-, der, manager of the Gastonia of fice. Miss Lowder credits the sharp rise to the fact that a number of people now applying for old-age insurance have completed a year and a half of work after 1950. This, she explains, makes it pos sible for them to have their bene fits figured under the new formu la which van be used only when a person has one and a half years of covered work after 1950 in most cases, the use of this' ^ a.8lves a h,8her monthly a rfUred worker than h?f be possible if his earnings before 1951 were used in figuring his average monthly wage Miss Lowder enticipates a fur ther Increase in the number of 65-year-old applicants because of a new provision in the law which permits those who retire this year mouayei r?cent wages used im Tf 'cl.y in figuring the amount of their benefn payments. If they have one and a half years of work covered by the law after 1950, it is no longer necessary for those retiring Jn 1952 to come back six months later in order to have such wages included in the com putation of their benefit amount. Another provision of the a mended law, Miss Lowder points self Sf:ocial importance to self-emploved people over 65 who vMr C Who up,an ,0 retire this year. Before the passage of the amendments their earnings for ,ln whjch the application was filed could not be used to igure their old-age benefit pay ments Now, a self-employed per son who appiies for and receives old-age benefits this year may ffvaPMy after tho c,osp o' his taxable year and have his 1952 earnings used in refigurin/* his monthly benefit payments. Slmi larly, the survivors of a self-em ployed person who dies in 1952 may ask to have the 1952 earn ?ngs included in refiguring their IhiTwm bCnefilS- In Ke??-al. this will mean that benefits pay able on the account of a self-em ployed person who retires this year will be larger than as origi y computed. Miss Lowder says. Another new provision in the law is important to heneficiaries who have continued working af ter ^reaching a^e 75. If they have had a year and a half of work leered by the law after 1950 their benefits can be refigured under the new formula, Miss Low der .says.
