Reminds Farmers Time To File S. S. Reports As any farmer knows, there are a lot of “times” during the year. Cold weather, like this, is good* hog-killing time. Some folks say it’s not collard time until the front has been around. And spring is planting time. — Another “time” that comes In every season is Social Security Time. That’s wfoen farmers must report earnings of their' farm workers for Old-Age and Surviv ors Insurance benefits. This timo comes at the end of every calen dar quarter. The next report for the October-December period Is due in the office of the District Di rector of Internal Revenue by the end of January. The report of earnings must be filed on each regular employee. The law was changed in 1950 to allow farm workers to build up retirement benefits for themselves and their families and death bene fits for the families just as other workers do. » , Farm workers, have been enjoy ing such “citified” advantages as electric light, oil heat, running water and such for a long time. Now they have, every benefit their city cousins do—even an insurance plan.
