The sweet potato crop requires
plenty of potash for the production
of high yields with high quality
In the production of approximately
365 bushels of sweet potatoes per
acre, 209 pounds of actual potash
is taken from the. soil. A 4-12-12 or
3-9-18 fertilizer will supply the re
quired high potash levd if liberal
applications are made. Research
work indicates that magnesium
must be readily available for the
plants to make the best use of the
high levels of potash. Your fertilizer
should contain two per cent mag
nesium oxide
It has become necessary to use
sound business principles in poultry
operations in order to succeed. Com
petition between growers within the
state and from other states empha
sizes the need to follow the latest
recommendations in management
practices. Record keeping is the
first consideration in a good man
agement program. We can be of
much assistance to you and other
poultry men of this state if you and
500 other 'poultry men participate in
the South Carolina egg, feed, and
mortality record program. This pro
gram is an effort on a large scale
to determine and establish a yard
stick by which your operation can
be evaluated and compared to oth
ers. It is time to stop wishing and
j hoping—know the facts.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND
MEDICAL BENEFITS
In every election year, the Social
Security law receives the attention
of Congress Actually, the Social Se
curity progrfam of the National Gov
ernment includes a variety of pro
grams, among which the most well
known are Old Age and Survivors
Insurance Benefits, Unemployment
Compensation, Public Welfare, and
Assistance to the Blind.
The Old Age and Survivors Insur
ance Benefits program, winch af
fects the most people is financed
through taxes imposed under the
Federal Insurance Contributions
Act Under the terms of this Act,
there are, at least nominally, three
“parate taxes imposed. The first
ix is imposed directly on each per
son who works for wages and must
be withheld and paid to the govern
ment by the employer. The second
tax is imposed on the employer, and
although paid by the employer, is
carried on his books as an expense
incurred for labor. It is, therefore,
a part at the employee’s earnings
for all practical purposes except the
computation of income for tax pur
poses. Originally these taxes were
imposed on the first $3,000 of wages,
but this was raised later to $3,600
and now stands at $4,800. For 1959,
the tax on employees and the tax on
empioyeirs were each ; they
are each now 3%, and they rise
progressively until 1968, when the
rate for each will go to 4^%. The
third tax is imposed on persons who
are self-employed, and now stands at
44 ^ of the first $4,800 of earnings,
and this rate increases progressively
to 64^ ia J96&
Each time the benefits of the pro
gram are increased, the rates must
be increased to a proportion larger
than the increase in benefits, for in
variably the increased benefits are
extended not only to active partici
pants, but also to those already eli
gible to receive benefits and who
are, therefore, no longer paying pre
miums.
The program has proved inade
quate on a basis for retirement in
come for elderly and retired people,
largely due to the inflationary spiral
or cost of living increases we have
experienced in the last two decades.
At the head of the list of things
which are beyond the, reach of the
benefiLs received by retirees is
medical service, which has more to
offer than ever before, but like ev
erything else, at a higher cost. The
problem now facing the Congress
is how to deal with this problem.
The problem is recognized univer
sally as one that cries for a solution,
but on the method of approach there
■ are great and basic differences.
The most publicized proposal calls
for the inclusion of medical services
payments in the Old Age and Sur
vivors Benefits This would involve
either a direct increase in tax rates
which are already burdensome to
the point where they are prohibi
tive. and or a raise indirectly by
increasing the base wages against
which the taxes are applied. This ap
proach does not face up to the basic
difficulty, which is inflation. Infla
tion can best be curbed by a de
crease in spending by governments,
particularly the National Govern
ment This unfortunately, appears
more difficult as an approach for
legislators, and apparently has little
chance of prevailing.
One suggestion which appears to
have merit involves a change in the
income tax law. At present, if a
child or children of aged parents or
.relatives contributes to the medical
expenses of the aged parent or rela
tive, they can pnly deduct the
amount of the medical expense they
contributed which exceeds 3% of
their gross income. Assistance with
payments for piedical services by
children for their aged parents and
relatives would be greatly encourag
ed if the entirely of their contribu
tions could be deducted, just as it
could be deducted by the person
over 65 if paid by him.
EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Bishop Herbert Spaagh
How do you face obstacles, difft-
callies ’ In your own strength or in
God’s stmegth? Are you living by
the "self-sufficiency” plan or the
"God-sufficiency” plan? The power
of the human mind and spirit coup
led with the power of God possess
es strength that all the power of the
world cannot overcome.
Try these simple rules for meeting
difficulties and obstacles:
1. Don’t run after trouble and
temptation. Don’t court it. Don’t ask
for it. Don’t-carry a chip on your
shoulder waiting for someone to
knock it off.
2. Don’t run away from reality.
Don’t run away from problems that
must be faced sooner or later.
3. Don’t offer excuses for your
weaknesses such as bad temper,
bad language, profanity, inferiority
complex.
4. Face your problems. Take a
good look at each one of them.
5. Get another friend, counselor,
or advisor to look at the problem
with you. \
6. Turn around and ask God to
look at it with you. You and He
should be able to face up to any is
sue which life presents to you.
7. Pray and ask God to send you
directions as to what to od. Ask Him
to send help. He has promised to
do it if you will ask Him.
*•8. Now work the prayer lever.
Archimedes, the ancient Greek sci
entist, said that if he could get a
lever long enough and a fulcrum he
could move the earth. Work that
prayer lever against the fulcrum
of a life yielded to God. Pray "Not
my wiH, but Thine be done.”
9. If you don’t feel that you can
work that prayer lever enough your
self, get someone else to pray wHh
you. Make a prayer compact with
that person and claim the .promise,
"If two of you shall agree on earth
as touching anything that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my
Father who is in Heaven.”
10. Now that you have put your
problem up before God, leave it
there. Stop taking it down and look
ing at it. The longer you look at your
troubles and problems the larger
they become,
11. As soon as the Lord send)
down an order, obey it. Follow di
rections, but don’t outrun them. The
Lord expects you to do your part,
and will show you what that part is.
12. Practice the presence of God
daily. Learn to pray as you work
and as you play.

IS. Don’t take your problems to
bed with you at night. Undress your
mind Just like you undress your
body. Wash your soul in prayer just
like you wash your face before you
go to bed.
14. Memorize and claim daily,
hourly, "I con do all things through
Christ WHO strengtheneth me.”
You and God can meet success
fully any issue which comes. Stf
Paul wrote out, of wide experience,
"My God shall siipply all your need
according to His riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.”
He will provide the plan if you will
do the work. Remember, God helps
those who help themselves by fol
lowing His plan for their lives.
