THOMAS Jeweler “li t Time That Coimla" CUNTON JOANNA SOCIAL SECURITY Question: I'm past retirement age and sUl) working as a janitor for a wage of $2400 a year. Will this recent change in the social security law^permit me to draw any social security benefits? Answer: It depends upon the amount of benefits you are en titled to under social security. | If you are entitled to more than $80 00 a month, or you and your wife’s combined benefit would be more than this amount, then you couid receive some benefits If you have never filed an applica tion, you certainly should inquire at your nearest social security office as you may be losing bene fits for which you are eligible Question. I started receiving social security early in 1961. At that time the local office gave me instructions as to how much money I could earn and still re ceive my social security Did the recent changes alter this infor mation? If so, what should I do about it? Answer: Only one change was made in the retirement test pro visions by the 1961 Amendments to the Social Security Act. If you earn no more than $1200 you will receive all of you social security. If you earn between $1200 and $1700, one dollar of social secur ity will be withheld for every two dollars of earnings One who earns $1700 during the year will usually have $250 of social secur ity benefits withheld. You should call at the nearest social security office for information. Question: I don’t see much rea son for filing an estimate of earn ings. Isn’t “estimate" ju4t a fan cy word for “guess”? Answer: If you like. We recog nize that people aren’t going to be able to tell how much they’ll make to the penny That’s why we have an annual report at the end of the year. However, who is better able to estimate what you’ll earn than yourself? One purpose of estimating your earn ings Is to give you flexibility. Benefits are paid on a monthly basis while your earnings are to taled by the year Estimates en able you to have your monthly in come based on your own good judgment of your earning poten tial Vaughn Aboard U.

The drought caught beans at a criti cal time, so per acre yields are down considerably. We have more planted than ever, however, and those who have them seem to like them. Soybeans require very little labor, all done by ma chine They arc a mighty good land builder. Cotton and other crops seem to do well following them • * • The quality of dairy cattle is increasing every year Not only is the quality of the individual cow increasing, but dairymen are learning fast that quality feed is very important With no grazing at all this fall, dairymen have gone all the way on silage. Those who get the high produc tion are the ones with good qual ity silage. It takes effort and planning to get it. Usually the cost is about the same for low and high quality feed . • • James Jacks reports 23 cows bred Friday, Nov. 2. That is the highest number for one day on record for Laurens County. This is proof that dairy cattle are on the up-grade. Those interested in using the service should call the county agent’s office, No. 521, be tween the hours of 8:00 a. m. and 10:00 a m. All beef and dairy breeds are available The best sires in existence are available. * • * Those leaves and pine needles make good fertilizer and mulch for garden and shrubs. Tons and tons of valuable organic matter will be raked and burned in Lau rens and Clinton in the next few weeks Why not make a manue pile’ Leaves raked and piled in one corner of the garden or back yard and treated properly will come in handy next spring and summer Leaves should be piled on a flat bed so that water will run to the center of the pile to keep moist About 50 to 75 pounds of complete fertilizer should be applied on top of the leaves. One hundred pounds of agricultural lime sh «uld be added. The leaf pile should be kept wet. # * » A soil test is the only sure guide to follow when fertilizing row crops, pastures and small grain. The test is free. We have the containers here at the office. Farmers should lime and ferti lize according to crop needs. I believe it has been demonstrated over and over that it pays to test your soil. • • • A dairy field day will be held at Greenville on December 5. The meeting will begin at 9:00 a. m at the Army Reserve Training Center. L. B Massey, district ex tension agent, will be in charge AU dairymen and interested peo pie are invited to attend • • • Congratulations to James Rog- Inst&Uations And Repair .Service • Plumbing • Electric — Call — Joe V.
