Johnson, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Prince Johnson, 710 Algodon, Bessemer City, N. C., recently took part in battalion training tests held by the 25th In fantry Division on the island of Hawaii. The two-day test was divided into three phases — defense, night withdrawal and attack. The island is about 200 miles from the unit’s home station at Schofield Barracks on Oahu. Private Johnson, who entered the Army last October, is a rifle man in Company B of the divi sion’s 35th Regiment Farm Workers Earning $100 Year Now Covered By Social Security Farm workers who earn at least $100 in cash wages from any one farm employer in a year are covered by social stecurity. This provision of the Social Se curity Act which became effec tive January 1, 1955, is of impor tance to millions of farm workers and their families. Joseph P. Walsh, district man ager of the Gastonia social se curity office, reminded farm wor kers th?.t they must have a social security card if they are to re ceive proper credit for wages earned. Farm workers should ap ply for a social security card, if they donot already have one. The worker should show the card to his employer in order for him to properly report cash wages paid. A farm employer is obliged to withhold 2 percent of wages paid to workers who earn $100 or more in cash during the year. Farm employers who hire sea sonal workers are governed by the same rules as other farm em ployers. If these employers ex pfect to pay any one worker $100 or more cash wages in any calen dar year he should keep a re cord on the worker. The only information a farmer heeds on employees for social se curity purposes is: (1) employ ee’s name, (2) employee’s social security number, (3) cash wages paid to the employee, (4) the date wages were paid and (5) the a mount, if any, deducted as em-' ployee tax. Keeping a simplle re cord with this information will safeguard the employer from fu ture problems which might de velop concerning the wages paid :o a particular employee. Most farm employers will be required to file only an annual report and pay the social security tax at the ;nd of each calendar year. How ever, when a farm employer’s tax liability reaches $100, in any of the first thre'c calendar quarters af a year, he must file a quarter ly report in the month following the quarter in which the $100 tax liability was reached. This situa tion will arise if a farm employer pays out<$2500 in cash wages dur ing a year. If the farm wages paid do not rteach that amount, only an annual report will be fil ed. Farm employers must have an employer’s identification number if they pay at least $100 in cash wages to one or more employees iui ing a calendar year. This num ber for the farm is different from an individual’s social security number. Applying for the identi fication number is very simple. A free booklet entitled “Social Se curity for Farm Families” is a vailable at the Gastonia office.
