T X ■> New Rate In Effect ir w. mi- Chief points of difference in Old-Age Insurance, Unemployment Compensation, Public Assistance, are explained in a statement is sued Monday by Miss Martha Pressly, Field Manager of the G-reenwood Office of the Social Security Board. Old-age insurance is intended to provide an income for wage-earners or salaried employees after they grow too old to work. These are the people who now have, or will have, Social Security accounts and their wage or salary earnings (which* are reported by their em ployers to the Government) are credited to their individual Social Security accounts. When workers have qualified for monthly old-age insurance bene fits reach the age of 65 they will i^ceive a check every month for the rest of their lives. The amount of such payment will depend upon the amount of all earnings shown on their Government wage records. Monthly old-age insurance pay ments will not be made before 1942. But lump-sum payments of old-age insurance to those who are entitled to such benefits are now being made by the Government. There are two types of lump-sum pay ments that can be made at any time after January 1, 1937. One is the death benefit which the Fed eral Government is paying to rela tives of workers who have died since January 1, 1937, and whose wage-earnings since the last day of 1936 entitled them to benefits. TThe other type of lump-sum bene fit, now payable, is for workers Jwho are entitled to some benefits ■and who have reached the age of 65 since the first day of January 1937. Job Insurance Unemployment compensation provisions were included in the So cial Security Act to make it pos sible for any State to tide its work ers over jobless days. Under this plan, workers will receive unem ployment compensation for part of the time they are without jobs. State unemployment laws are ad ministered by State authorities in cooperation with the Social Se curity Board. Immediately upon losing his job, an employee should register with the local Employment Service, so that another job may be found for him. If, after a certain waiting period—usually two or three weeks —he still is unemployed, the work er will begin receiving benefits from the unemployment fund, if he is entitled to such payments. Public Assistance Public assistance is provided un der the Social Security Act for i,he needy aged, the needy blind and for needy children who have lost the support of their natural bread * i ^r. The welfare department dispenses this aid in the io:m of monthly payments. Miss Pressly atiesscd the fast that the office of Columbia, Jan. 8. — Employers subject to the South Carolina un employment compensation com- rr.issicn, in preparing to submit their January contribution reports and contributions to the commis sion next month, should take into consideration the new contribution rate which went into effect the first of this year, R. Brice Waters, administrator, said today. The rate, with respect to em ployment in 1938, is 2.7 per cent The 1937 rate was 1.8 per cent Both figures were established by :he unemployment compensation act as originally passed by the leg islature. , Contribution reports and con tributions covering this month are due not later than February 15. “I urge all subject employers to keep in mind the change m che contribution rate in preparing re ports covering January. By doing so they will avoid putting them selves, as well as the commission, io much unnecessary trouble and expense,” Mr. Waters declared. The administrator announced re cently that the commission had notified the 3,463 subject employers in the state to withhold their Jan uary “employment” reports until further notice, pending possible passage by the legislature of an amendment to the state act pro viding for the substitution of quarterly employment reports for monthly employment reports. The contribution reports, however, would not be affected by the pro posed change. T he unemployment compensation act provides that the contribution rate shall remain at 2.7 per cent until June 30, 1941, after which the rate shall be determined by a merit rating”. No claims for bene fits will be received until after July 1, this year. Reforestation By Tree Planting Now In Progress the jVd^ral Old A30 Insurance Bu- v t. J Vw* j Forward looking farmers, tur pentine operators, saw mill owners and other types of land owners are busily engaged in renewing their woodlands and establishing forest growth on old fields by planting tree seedlings, advises State Forester H. A. Smith. Slash pine is the most popular species. The major portion of the supply of this species has been spoken for hence only small quan tities are available to those order ing now, stated Mr. Smith. The slash pine is an all purpose species in that it produces turpentine, rosin, pulpwood, poles, piling, and crossties, veneer and sawlogs. However, although the loblolly pine is not suitable for naval stores production it is the fastest growing of all southern pines and is es pecially suitable for replanting old fields and forest land in the upper coastal plain and in the Piedmont. Approximately two million loblolly pine seedlings are available to landowners for planting during this and next month. The lumber of bis pine is used for the same pur pose as slash except that it is not worked for turpentine. Longleaf pine seedlings are also 'vailrblc for planting.

Leaves have been removed to show amount of cotton left for second picking. THE SMITH FAMILY of Johnston, Edge- field County, S. C., won prizes five times in nine South. Carolina Five-acre Cotton Contests. B. R. (“Uncle Bob”) Smith was second in 1926 with a yield of 5,098 pounds of lint on five acres. He was fourth in 1928 with 3,815 pounds, first in 1929 with 5,770 pounds and sixth in 1931 with 5,145 pounds. In 1936, his wife, Mrs. Carrie B. Smith, won first prize with 6,640 pounds of lint on five acres, the largest yield produced in nine contests in which approximately 9,000 farmers entered. The staple length was l 1 /32 inches. Mrs. Smith's Record-breaking Yield Speaking of his wife’s record-breaking 1936 yield, Uncle Bob said: “Mrs. Smith planted Coker’s Cleve-wilt Nch 4 seed and used 1,450 pounds of fertilizer per acre, 300 pounds of which was NV MURIATE OF POTASH. She used some nitrogen as a top-dresser and the remainder of the fertilizer before planting, putting it down in three bands. She sure made me keep a close eye on that patch of cotton. For years I used 6% POTASH in my regular cotton fertilizer, but Clemson College said I was short on potash, so I started using 10% POTASH. I made larger yields and the 10% POTASH completely prevented Rust.” Potash Stops Rust and Starts Profits Producing good yields of cotton seems to run in the Smith family. Jake Smith, of Johnston, S. C., son of Uncle Bob and Mrs. Sr^ith, says this about his 1937 crop: “I made three bales per acre but didn’t pick but two. The boll weevil got the other one. Daddy used a lot of potash so I followed him. Counting all the potash my cotton received, it adds up to 300 pounds of MURIATE OF POTASH per acre. If you were to put this in 500 pounds of fertilizer the potash would be 30%. The old slogan is right—POTASH STOPS RUST.” • TOP-DRESS 1 IT WILL PAY YOU TO USE MORE NV POTASH. SELECT FERTILIZER CONTAINING 8 TO 10% NV POTASH, OR TOP-DRESS WITH NV MURIATE, OR NV KAINIT OR A NITROGEN-POTASH TOP-DRESSER CONTAIN ING GENUINE NV POTASH. * N. V.
