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.

FARMS AND FOLKS

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

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.”
