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.

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.

6 Woods Blazes
Burn 186 Acres
During the month of November,
there were 6 woods fires in New

S. C. State Commission of Forest
ry. Four fires were caused by
smoking of hunters and fisher
men, one railroad, caused by a
section hand having a warming
fire and one by debria burning
caused by burning trash at the
edge of the yard. A total of 186
acres of woodland were burned.
We wish to thank the people
of the county in helping us to

much headway.

much that they were “barely ac
ceptable.” In a tight container at
32 degrees F. or colder, «helled pe
cans keep well for six months to
a year.
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.

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
