Common Error About 8oclal 8ccurity
One of the common errors about
tbe Social Security Act js the belief
that all those who work at any time
on farms are refused Federal old age
benefit account numbers. Niels Christenaen.
acting manager of the Columbia
office of the Social Security board,
says that the opening of the tobacco
markets is likely to surprise many
who go from farms to get work in the
tobacco market towns in warehouses,
stores shops, offices, factories, mills
und other places of business. These
workers, he points out, will find they
must have account numbers when
hey leave the farm and go into business.
and they may be delayed in getting
them if they wait until the markets
open. Employers often refuse
to employ anyone who has not taken
out his account number. Account
numbers are used by the government
to help in seeing to it that every wage
earner gets the old-age benefit that
m- ,Mr" Chrl8te"8en calls attention
to the fact that anyone can
apply for one of these numbers at
itSJ tInie ,u office hours, at any posth(.)8e,
out of employment can
w???h /\n(J farm labor or any other
I ilia of labor can apply, bo as to have
| a number ready when they seek work
n occupations that do come under
the old-age benefits of the Social Security
Act. The point is that while
wages for farm labor and some other
abor cannot be counted when figuring
one s old-age benefits, a farm la2ESL.Can
COXtnt WaKes thut colne from
almost all other kinds of employment
in fact, wages from farm labor, domestic
employment in homes, and
government employment are about the
my wages that do not count in figuring
Federal old-age benefits.

53 Million Acres
In New Conserving
Nearly .">3 million acres of productive
farm land In the United States
were subject to conservation practices
under the 1936 Agricultural Conservation
Program, according to |a
preliminary estimate Just completed
by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad *
ministration says County Agent W.
| C. McCarley. The reports Indicate
that about 31 million acres of land
were diverted from soil-depleting
c rops.
New seedlngs of Boil-conserving
crops made under the program included
nearly 34^n?lllon acres of legumes
alone or mixtures, around
7 1-2 million acres of green-manure
crops, and nearly two million acres
of new or improved pasture. Appli-,
cations of limestone, superphosphate,'
or other chemicals were made on 2 1-2 i
million acres. Mechanical erosion
controls, such as terracing, contour J
furrowing, and protected summer fallow,
were placed in effect on five mil-1
lion acres.
Approximately three million applications
for grants, representing about
four million farmers, were filed. These
include nearly 900,000 in the south.
Cropland on the farms covered by applications
for grants totals nearly 284
million. acres, or 67 per cent of all
cropland in the United States.
A still more important part of the
program both from the standpoint of
conservation and of supporting farmers'
income, according to H. R. Tolley,
Administrator, Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, waB its diversion
of around thirty million
acres of land from soil-depleting crops
to soil-conserving crops or practices.
