WRKPWI 11 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1951 Quarterly SS Reports Should Be Filed With Revenue Collector Social Security reports ior luly, August, and September are lue this month. Employers jvered by the law have until the st of October to submit these sports, according to Miss Martha ressly. Manager, Greenwood ield Office. “These reports must to the Collector of Internal Revenue in Columbia, and not our office," she said. [Some workers are still losing sdits towards Social Security irement and death benefits, ss Pressly pointed out. “This ippens every time an employee’s lings are reported without his Social Security number,” she said. “No one receives credit for those earnings because they cannot be posted by name alone.” Two new groups now under Social Security are domestic ser vants in private homes and farm wage hands. A servant is not to be reported for Social Security unless she worked for the same household in some part of twenty- four different days during the July through September period. In addition, she must have made at least $50 cash wages. Farm wage hands must meet a wage-time test too before being reported. Further information on both of these newly covered em ployees may be obtained from the Social Security Office at Green wood in the Post Office Building.

M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist DREAM TRIPS i ve had several dream trips. Bill Gamp gave them to me to see and study irrigation. Charles Marshall, 4-H club boy of Sumter county, had one too back in late August. It too was given by Bill. For the boy or girl with the best 4-H record, in Sumter county for the year, he offered an airplane trip to Cali fornia a year ago. There was much competition among the some 800 4-H boys and girls of the county, 1 understand. Finally Charles was declared the winner. And what a trip he hail. He flew across the continent in a day. Spent a week with the Camps at Bakersfield. There he saw irrigation and agriculture in timately in the great San Joaquin Valley. From there he went on a several-hundred-mile bus trip with the 4-H champions of California to their annual jamboree at Davis. To the state fair at Sacramento, guest of the State Future Farmers, and a weekend seeing the sights of San Francisco filled the busy week. Then on Labor Day morning he boarded a four-motored plane and I saw him alight at Columbia Airport that night. Bill says, “All of my friends liked Charles very much, and you can tell his mother and dad that they need never worry about Charles’ manners when he is away from home. We, have en joyed every minute of his stay with us.”- Good raising at home, leader ship training in 4-H, church and school influences all go to make a well-rounded youngster. Many men and women are being built out of that sort of youngster over South Carolina. And when they go abroad in the land they usual ly make South Carolina proud of them. uouDBVE RATS Uur man Netties tells me you can just about say gooaoye to iats and mice wnen you use the new bait properiy in a nouse or uaru. it is Wanarin. And now you can get it from the U. S. vvndiife Service in cooperative oraeis at ♦i.vo ror a a-pound pack age of the material that’s ready for use. County and dome agents and agriculture teachers can gei up commuuity orders for it much as they did with red squill tnat was used a lot in this way in the past. in the past With red squill the aim was to kill a lot of rats and mice. But, witn it, we never thought of complete eradication. But with this new stuff, the authorities speak of complete eradication! On most farms rats have been taking a toll every year. Now the idea of complete eradication comes as a pleasing thought. LESPEDEZA SERICEA “Lespedeza Sericea, handled right, is a good crop for both hay and grazing,” says County Agent Ezell of Newberry. And one of his farmers, Clif ford Smith, told me it was “the poor man’s alfalfa.” But both of them cautioned that it must be handled right. It gets tough rather quick for either hay or grazing. Cut at the right time, it cures very quick and makes good hay. For good grazing too, you need to hold it down. If it tends to get ahead of the cattle, put more on it, or get the mower to work there, they say. The past dry sumer showed us just how good this plant is. It stands drought better than any pasture plant I saw. It is seeded in the spring. CHURCH BELL Pilgrom Lutheran Church, in Lexington county, is rebuilding with granite. Over 3,000 hours of free work has been given. They got the bell from the old church and are installing it in the new one. I was glad to see that. In re cent years, many rural churches (and town ones too) have discard ed the bell. It always seemed to me that the toll of the bell, echoing across the hill and vale on Sunday mornings, just added something to Sunday that nothing else did. It reaches the whole out-of-doors, tells that it is the Day of Rest, and that church time has arrived. And the truant’s ear, whether down on the creek or playing ball in the pasture, cannot choose but hear. AUTUMN LEAVES The greenery that came to hill and hedge with spring, is now taking on the bright and burnish ed hues of autumn. I raved over the coming of spring, after a hard black winter. And now that summer is spent, and the harvest is at hand, I look up again and see Nature staging her supreme spectacle of color that is fall. It was the sumac and sour- wooils first, punctuating the green of late summer with bits of scar let. And then red, yellow, gold orange and purple gradually grew into the picture until the out-of- doors has become a fairyland of harmonious hues. Ever think of it, how Nature blends her colors? There is per fect • harmony on field and wood land now. Yet every color of the rainbow is, or soon will be, there. And, if placed by an un skilled power, it could create a pandemonium of clashes that would shock the sensitive eye. This grand annual symphony of unmatched color is now growing to a peak along every lane and byway. The reds are put there by the sourwoods, black gums, sweet gums, dogwoods, sumacs, red maples, and certain of the oaks. The varied hues of yellow come to hickory, beech, birch and poplars. And the royal purple is added too by the gums, and by the persimmon and the ash trees. Vivid orange shades often come to the maple and the sassa fras. And the needed contrast of green for the background is suppled by tho pine, holly, cedar, and in the mountains by the rhodedendron, laurel, hemlock, and spruce. The grasses and weeds too add to this fall festival of color across hill and vale. Delicate tints and rare pastel shades of leaf and bloom make fairylands out of many an abandoned field or uncut hedge. There is no exact peak to this colossal Carnival. It just rises from nothing but green in summer, to a riot in autumn, and fades away into the somber grays and browns of winter. But you can bet this much, for the next few weeks it will be simply breath-taking out there where folks have room to live. GRAIN STORAGE Did you have anywhere to put your grain last June? And do you have anywhere to safely store your corn and soybeans now? A few communities over the state have provided that storage in the past year or so. Large elevators are how at Anderson, Easley, Estill, and Florence. And 1 understand farmers have pa tronized them heavily. We have placed our confi dence in cotton in the past for several reasons. One of the chief of them is the fact that it is bankable; that is, we can borrow money on it or sell it any day. Well, where they grow corn, grain, legume, grass seeds, and the like the same thing bolds true. They have developed safe drying and storage facilities that make those things safe as col lateral too. We are really getting along with producing diversified things here. But for some of them we are sorely lacking In the facilities that will make them safe bankable crops. These elevators that have started going over the state are making them that way though. Even if such crops are not kept for planting seed, we need to store them safely anyway. For we need feed to support livestock, poultry, and dairy industries the year around. We can’t feed a whole corn crop up when it is harvested. It, along with other things, has to carry us until the crop comes In again. And that calls for storage, safe storage. Yes, bankable storage, for often we have to borrow money against such things, like we do cotton. And safe storage is the key to that. DRESSED TURKEY SHOW The South Carolina Turkey Fed eration is staging its fourth an nual dressed turkey show at the State Fair on October 24-26. Our extension turkey men, Nesbit and Thaxton, work with a committee of growers in putting it on. They look for a show this year befit ting the rapidly growing turkey business in the state. Vast improvement has been made hot only in growing tur keys but in the meat quality of the turkeys produced in recent years. We have some outstand ing turkey breeders in the state who are hatching and selling thousands of quality poults to producers in all parts of the state. Since turkeys are the most efficient users of grain that we have, no wonder they are in creasing along with % our growing grain industry. Clemson has a good new bulletin on raising turkeys. It is free from your county agent t mm ii % % Rules Important In Mailing Gift Packages Abroad Newberry countians this week received their yearly caution from the United States Department of Commerce not to send gift pack ages abroad without first familiar izing themselves with the regula tions of other countries on the >* importation of such goods. The warning came as residents of the county began looking around for Christmas gifts for relatives and friends abroad. According to Merrill C. Lofton, Commerce Department regional director in Atlanta, just about every country in the world has some kind of regulation on the importation of goods, whether it be Christmas gifts or commercial shipments. For example, gift packages sent to the Netherlands must not con tain more than 1,000 cigarettes. In shipping to Italy, if you label your package “pacco familiare gratuito” it will go duty-free and without the necessity of obtain ing an import license. Customs duties and taxes are levied on all afticles sent as gifts to the Soviet zone of Germany and Soviet sector of Berlin. “Hundreds of residents in the Southeast including, no doubt, many in Newberry county will be shipping packages abroad again this Christmas, and it would be advisable for them first to get in touch with the nearest field office of the U. S. Department of Com merce and ask for regulations covering the shipment of gift packages to those countries. Otherwise, their packages may be held up.” H. D. WHITAKER IMPROVING H. D. Whitaker, who has been ill for the past three weeks, one week of which he was a patient in the Newberry Memorial Hos pital, is reported to be improving nicely at the home of his son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Williams, 2207 Nance street.
