CHURCH OF THE AIR
BROADCAST
The Church of the Air Broad
cast, with James a Huey, is
on radio station WPCC each
Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p. m.
The adult choir of the First
Presbyterian Church, directed
by Mrs. Edgar Sadler, will be
guest singers Sunday, January
27.
Ranges, refrigerators, and
freezers are kept by average
homeowners about 15 years. If
yours is older, you may expect
a reckoning some time in the fu
ture.
Washing machines last only
about 10 years in most family
laundry rooms before they are
traded or junked. A dryer or TV
set may last from 13 to 15 years.
But a family may keep a sewing
machine about 25 years.
Mrs. Potter’s suggestions may
open the way to •keeping a por
tion of our money with us for a
longer period. I suspect one rea
son we can’t figure out where
money goes is—it’s not with us
long enough!
mtl SECURITY
QUESTION: I am 65 but don’t
see why I should apply for so
cial security benefits since I am
working full time at my regular
ANSWERS - You should apply
because there have been changes
in the law which make it possible
for older people to earn more
and still collect some social se
curity benefits. Under the law as
it now stands, you can receive
all your social security checks if
your yearly earnings are $1200
or less. If your yearly earnings
are between $120 Oand $1700, one
dollar in benefits is withheld
from your total yearly benefits
for each two dollars .that you
earn in that bracket. One dollar
for each dollar earned is with
held for your earnings above
$1700. For example, if you earn
$2,000 a year, only $550 of your
yearly social security benefits
would be withheld. Also, you can
get a payment for any month
that you do not work or in which
you earn less tha $100, regardless
of your total earnings.
QUESTION: I am 52 years old
and I operate a frozen custard
stand during the summer. My
yearly earnings are about $5000.
I don’t work at all during the
winter. Can I receive any social
security?
ANSWER: Yes, you may be
able to get benefits— for the
months you are not working. A
person can collect his benefits
for each month he'neither earns
oyer $100 in wages and doesn’t
render substantial services in his
own business.
QUESTION: I retired from my
job last year. My wife, however,
is continuing to work, and she
earns over $4800 a year. Can I
continue to receive my social se
curity benefits, while my wife
works for over $1200 a year?
ANSWER: Yes. Your wife’s
earnings will not affect your en
titlement to social security bene-
fist. Only your own earnings
could keep you from gettig bene
fits.
News From
The County Agent
M. L. OUTZ, County Agent
Which breed of cattle makes
the fastest gain? I have always
heard that the heavy breeds of
dairy cattle would gain fast, but
not necessarily outgain the beef
breeds. A four-year test at Ten
nessee shows the Holstein out-
front by a-'good bit. Santa Ger
trud is and Hereford were about
the same, followed by Angus,
then Jersey,, and Brahman. The
Holstein had the best food con
version, 713 pounds per hundred
pounds of grain, Hereford 890,
Angus 947, and Jersey 917.
Another thing people here and
yonder have told me, and that is
that Jersey meat was the tender-
est beef you could eat. In these,
some test Jersey steers were the
tenderest and one had the higR
st preference score of all breeds.
The beef breeds out-ranked the
dairy breeds in dressing percent,
marbling and grading.

V. H. Calhoun, my neighbor
moved down from North Carolina
last fall, is turning hills covered
in scrub oaks and pines into pas
ture land. Mr. Calhoun is 66
years old and has an axe and a
Ford tractor. He had already
cleaned off fifteen acres of scrub
pines and oaks. A great deal of it
has been plowed up. He is plan
ning to seed fescue and Coastal
Bermuda this spring. Welcome

Lynn Yeargin of Gray Court
made 732 pounds of lint cotton
per acre off 28 acres last year-
totaled out 41 bales. Martin
Brothers made 61 bales from 37
acres.
I don’t believe we are any
where near reaching our poten
tial in cotton production. Even
in the drier communities, a bale
per acre was possible last year.
I suppose of all the enemies that
cotton has, the farmer is one of
its worst. Things that he fails to
do, such as—control the weevil
in many cases, his timing in cul
tivation is off to the point that
crab grass eats it up. However,
when the season ends and he
winds up with a half bale per
acre, he says it can’t be done.
FARMS AND FOLKS
By L. C. HAMILTON
Clemaon College Extension Information Sp—
Want to know where your mon
ey goes?
Elizabeth W. Potter, Clemson
home' management specialist,
has some surprises for people
who can be classified as “aver
age” homemakers.
Did you khow, for instance, it
takes more money to operate the
average home than to make rent
or installment payments on the
house itself?
“About 15 cents of each family
dollar, on me average, is spent
for heat, light, water, furnishings
and equipment for the home.
This surprises some people who
think their house payments take
the biggest chunk of salary. „
‘But only 14 cents of the aver
age family budget dollar goes
for house payments, according to
the Agricultural Research Ser-
v i c e consumer prive index,"
Mrs. Potter says.
The bouse and its operation
together make up the biggest
family expenditure—29 cents of
each dollar.
Food is second as family ex
penditures go. But if you think
you're giving a larger share of
your income for food, you hhve
another surprise coming.
“Consumers were paying 26
cents of each dollar for food in
1947-48. But today’s food cost is
only 19 cents. Food prices have
advanced about 1 per cent during
the last year, but relatively much
less than other goods and ser
vices.”
logically, clothing would seem
to take third place on the family
budget. But in actual practice
this is not the case. The average
family spends 13 cents of each
dollar for transportation. Riding
may be fun, but it’s costly. So
it takes third place as a family
expense.
Clothing, downgraded to fourth
place, gets 10 cents of the aver
age, facpily dollar. Medical ex
penses amount to 8 cents.
The first five costs account
for 79 cents of the family’s dol
lar.' After that a miscellaneous
category takes a penny here and
a penny there until dollar is
gone.
Family spending, habits follow
such rigid patterns, it’s not easy
to find a place to economize. One
thing that plays havoc with a
budget is having to replace 7 ma
jor pieces of equipment when no
provisions have been made to do
80 ' K.
Suppose your refrigerator quits
or the washing machine decides
to balk. Faced with a costly re
pair bill, you may decide that
the machine is not worth the
cost. So you’l have to buy a new
one.
Days ike this, which every
famiy experiences sooner or ater,
are guaranteed to make the earn
est persons tdss his famiy budget
out the window. -
Mrs/Potter says sdeh major fi
nancial emergencies might be
minimized by watching the ma
chine’s “life span” and replacing
them in sUggered fashion.
