TAGE TEN THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, DEC. 17, 1953 ■M SV- Social Security Tax Be Upped On January 1 The social security tax rate for persons whose work counts to ward old-age and survivors in- frarance is scheduled to increase or the first of January, 1954, Miss Martha F. Pressly, manager of the Greenwood social security of fice, reminded employers, employ ees, and self-employed people to day. This scheduled increase in tax contribution is in accordance with the 1950 amendments to the social security law, and was enacted by Congress in anticipation of future obligations of the program. Employees in jobs covered by Che law will have 2 percent in stead of the present 1% percent deducted from their pay begin ning with the first of January up to earnings of $3600 a year; their employers will contribute an equal amount. The new rates will apply to all taxable wages paid after Decem ber 31, 1953, regardless of when earned. The social security tax for the self-employed is scheduled to in crease from the present 2 1/4 per cent to 3 percent, for the period commencing January 1, 1954. Since the self-employed whose work is covered by the law pay their tax just once yearly at the time of filing their Federal income tax return, they will pay the pre sent 2 1/4 percent social security tax on their 1953 income that counts toward social security. This will be due not later than March 15, 1954. Their first payments at the increased rate of 3 percent will be due March 15, 1955, for the calendar year 1954. n the meantime the Internal Herenue Service reports that em ployers will be furnished late this year with income tax withholding tables and Federal Insurance Con- ~trfbutions Act (social security taxes) tables reflecting rates ap plicable next year. The next scheduled increase, six years from now, in 1960, will be to percent each for employer and employee, and to 3 3/4 percent for the self-employed. Prom Darwin, Australia, comes a report that police are search ing for an English migrant whose last known remark was, “Where can I find some crocodiles?” May be he found them.

News & Cartoon Farm Records Are Helpful To Farmers Clemson—Every farmer should keep a farm account record. P. S. Williamon, Clemson ext ension farm management specialist, points out that the farm account provides facts for studying and improving the farm business. He explains that a complete record of the farm receipts and farm expenses, together with in ventory changes, furnishes the necessary figures for calculating labor income. Labor income is what a farmer gets for his year’s work above interest on his invest ment and all farm expenses, in addition to having a house to live in and farm products to use in the home. “Not only does the farm account have value as a record of the farm busines and as a basis for im proving the farm organization but it may also be useful in other ways, such as preparing income tax returns or furnishing valuable information in case of fire, the need for borrowing money, or in the settling of an estate,” Mr. Wil liamon states. “Adequate farm records can be kept in simple form without a great deal of time being spent on them. A satisfactory record would include a property inventory, in cluding feed and supplies, made at the beginning and end of the year, the numbers of livestock kept, a record of the crops grown and yields obtained, and a record of receipts and expenses together with the quantities of .the different items bought and sold during the year. “With farming rapidly becoming more complex each year, it is necessary for farmers to know the facts rather than to guess about their business affairs. “Farm account for 1954 should be started as early in the year as possible,” Mr. Williamon suggests. Farm account books prepared by the Clemson Extension Service are available to all farmers de siring to keep them. These books are free and may be secured from county agents.

Housewives in the South for years have preserved pecans by canning, but an easier better way is to put them in moisture-vapor- resistant bags or other containers and store them in home freezer lockers. There they will be pro tected for as long as a year against rancidity and will also be safo against moisture which makes them tough or even moldy, against absorbing odors and flavors from other foods, and against insect damage.. Pecan meats are sold in small consumer - size, vacuum - packed tins which protect against rancid ity. Research is now in progress for developing other types of packages that keep out air. But the housewife who buys nut meats in bulk or shells pecans herself will find freezing, or at least re frigeration, the best way .to pre serve them.

C. 29-tnc Agent Tells How To Keep Pecans Housewives who take advantage of this fall's large crop of pecans by buying in quantity for the holi days or later should know how to keep these delicious nuts at their best in flavor and crispness. Miss Margie Davis, county home dem onstration agent, calls attention to the following information on keep ing pecans. This information comes from Food and Home Notes prepared by the Office of Informa tion, USDA. Pecans, like other nuts, keep better in the shell than shelled, and better at a cold temperature than a warm one. Arthur Wells, who has made special research on storage of nuts, says that cold keeping is especially important for shelled pecans to prevent rancid ity. The high oil content of these nuts, which gives them their characteristic rich flavor, also makes them very perishable. When exposed to air and warmth, they are especially subject to rancid ity. In the shell, pecans will keep two to three months at ordinary room temperature before having a rancid flavor, but Mr. Wells’ tests of shelled pecans showed that after three months at 70 degrees F. their flavor had changed so ■■ r/ Longest remembered and most dearly cherished is a gift of jewelry.
