State Short Course To Be Held At Winthrop College June 6-1.1 June 6th-11th is State Short Course week for Home Demon stration Club members and 4-H club girls of South Carolina. The State Short Course is an Annual Event, held at Winthrop College each June, and one looked forward to with pleasure from year to year. For not all members may attend State Short Course. Only 9 women and 9 girls from each county are eligible to attend and these are chosen because of outstanding accomplishments dur ing the preceding year. So, it is an honor and a privilege consis tently worked for by the thousands of club women and girls in the State—and lucky indeed do those consider themselves who are thus chosen.

(Whenever the term “wages” is used, it refers to wages for serv ices performed after 1936, and be fore the age of 65 in included employment.) , J «-• wvi . Q. I obtained my Social Security account number while working in Chicago, Illinois, and am now em ployed in Newberry, South Caro lina. How are wages being posted to my credit? A. The information about your wages, together with your account number, will be sent from Chica go, Illinois, or Newberry, South Carolina, or wherever you are working, to the Operations Section of the Social Security Board where all accounts are set up. Since every worker has a different number, there is little chance of confusion. Your wages will be posted to your credit, regardless of where you work in the United States and how much you move around. Q. I plan to get another job. Should I apply for a new Social Security number > A. Emphatically, no. One num ber lasts a lifetime. However, when you get a new job, you should inform your new employer of the number of your account. Q. I am a Colored man. A friend borrowed my Social Securi ty card last month and he won’t give it back to me. I need it now because I just got laid off and no other foreman will hire me be cause I don’t have my card. What must I do? A. In the first place, you should not lend your card to anybody, except in filling a request of your employer, who would return it as soon as he made a record of the number. Tell your friend to apply for an account number card him self, which he can obtain without cost. If he refuses to return it, tell him you will inform his boss that he is working on your card. If you still fail to retrieve your card write or call in person at my of fice and a duplicate account num ber card will be secured for you provided you furnish proper identification, including an ac curate record of your number, your latest home address and the name of prospective employer. Q. I am a Colored worker. I rented a Social Security card for 25 cents a month from another Colored man who had a stack of them. Now he has raised the rent on the card to 50 cents a month. Must I pay him that much? A. Nobody has authority to rent or sell account number cards. Do not pay him another cent. Send or bring the “rented” card to my office and get an account number card for yourself, without trouble or cost. Q. How many people have So cial Security cards? A. Applications for Social Se curity Account Numbers received by the Social Security Board at the end of march, 1938, amounted to 38,237,877. Unemployment In- surance-What It Means To The State (This is the second of a series of four articles on unemployment compensation released by the South Carolina unemployment ccrr.pensation commission.) What the Law Provides The South Carolina unemploy ment compensation law, just as similar laws of other states, pro vides for the estabiishment of an unemployment compensation fund and the payment of benefits to persons, eligible for benefits, when they lose their jobs through NO fault of their own. The law provides that no bene fits shall be paid during the first two years after its passage, thus giving time in which to establish an adequate reserve fund. This two year period will end in July of this year and first claims will be received in that month. Employers are required to con tribute to the unemployment compensation fund and in this way to protect their workers against the risk of unemployment, just as they pay for insuring their workers against accident to life in the factory, shop or store. Since the South Carolina act has been approved by the Social Security board, costs of adminis tering it are paid largely from grants made by the board to the state. To be approved, a law must contain certain provisions which will protect the state unemploy ment fund and safeguard the in- ceiests of workers. Pooled Fund The South Carolina unemploy ment fund is what is known as the state “pooled fund”. This ar rangement is combined with the “merit rating” pian. Under the “pooled fund” ’ plan all contributions collected by the state unemployment compensation commission are “pooled” and all benefits are to be paid from that fund. In other words, the cost of the benefits to unemployed work ers is borne proportionately by ah employers. This means to the workers that when they are un employed their benefits will be paid from the fund without re spect to the particular employer ror whom they may have worked. Under the merit rating plan, which will go into effect in 1941, employers may have their contri- oution rate reduced if they have aad good employment records, inis gives an incentive to employ ers to avoid lay-oifs, and express es the real intention of the law, which is to keep employment steady. Those employers with nigh rates of unemployment wi^ not get a reduction in their rate. Tne South Carolina law does not require contributions by wage- earners, and nothing can be de ducted from their wages in build ing up the unemployment fund. Covered employments The South Carolina law applie.. to jobs in factories, stores, offices, shops, and other places of busi ness in which eight or more per sons are employed—but not to farm workers, domestic workers in private homes, government work ers, workers in non-profit educa tional, religious and charitable institutions, and certain other groups of workers. Employers subject to the act are contribu ting to the unemployment com pensation fund at the rate of 2.7 per cent of the wages they pay their workers. Provision is also made in the law by which employers desiring to do so may “elect” to become subject to the act, and thus offer this protection to their workers, many employers have taken ad vantage of this provision of the law. They have found that in choosing between two positions otherwise ofiering equal pay and advantages, that a man will very logically choose tne one offering unemployment insurance protec tion lor himself and his family. (The third cf a ccri.3 cf four articled c.n unemployment corn- pen ratio:: will be published in .1.13 nev. paper ne::t week.) Food, Feed Crops May Be Grown On Diverted Acreage Under the AAA program, a farmer not only may produce food and feed on his soil-depleting acreage allotment but also has the opportunity to increase his sup ply of food and feed for home use by growing a number of non-de pleting food and feed crops on his diverted acres, says County Agent R. D. Suber. The Farm Act provides, of course, that the county commit tees must take into consideration the food and feed needs on the farm, among other factors, in establishing the total soil-deple ting acreage allotment, the agent explains. At the same time, a primary aim of the program is soil conservation and it is neces sary for at least a part of the diverted acres to be devoted to non-depleting crops. This acreage can be used for leguminous feed crops which, in some cases, pro vide more feed per acre than could be grown in the form of corn on the same land. This, of course, would not be the case in the commercial corn areas in other sections of the country where the corn yields are much higher than in this state and where a shift, to legumes would result in the production of less feed nutrients. • The agent points out that the average corn yield in South Car olina for the five-yeaf period, 1928-32, was 13.3 bushels, or about 622 pounds of digestible nutrients, per acre. During the same period, the average yield of cowpea hay in South Carolina was seven- tenths of a ton, or 727 pounds of digestible nutrients, per acre; the average yield of soybeans for hay was four-fifths of a ton, or 789 pounds of digestible nutrients, per acre. In other words, these legumes show a higher production in total digestible nutrients than corn in this state and they have the ad ditional advantage of not being soil-depleting. There is no limit to the number of acres of such leguminous crops that may be grown on a farm. A farmer also may add to his food and feed supply for home use by double-cropping—that is, following a soil-depleting crop, such as small grains, with an other soil-depleting food or feed crop. Where this practice is used, the acreage is counted as soil-de pleting only once and the farmer does not run the risk of exceeding his total soil-depleting acreage allotment and thereby cutting down his payment. xx Time For Filing Pledges Expires At Noon June 14th All candidates entering the Pri mary in McCormick County must file their pledges and pay en trance fee on or before noon, Tuesday, June 14th, 1938.
