The Ban- Farmers Are Advised On Social Security Social security for farm families, how it works and what farmers need to do about it are explained in a booklet just isued under the joint sponsorship of the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration. It is now being mailed to every rural and star route boxholder in’ Newberry county, it was announced today by Miss Martha Pres sly, district manager of the social security office, and Mr. Paul Hinson of the Greenwood office of the Internal ‘Revenue Service. This booklet is directed to the self-employed farmer, farm em ployers, and farm workers—ap proximately 5% million in all— who were brought under social scenrity on January 1. The pur pose of the publication is to acquaint them with their benefits and tax obligations under the old-age and survivors insurancei program. The mailing to rural boxholders in this area Is part of a nationwide .distribution to farm people. Those farmers who do not receive a copy thrapgh this mailing may obtain one from the District Director of Internal Revenue or from the nearest social security office. The booklet stresses the need for self-employed farmers and hired farm workers to apply for a social security account card if they do not already have one; it also points out to the farm opera tor who employs workers that he should secure an agricultural em ployer’s identification number, number. Examples are given of the monthly benefit payments for themselves and their families to ward which farmers are now build ing under the old-age and survi vors insurance program. One section of the booklet is devoted to explanations of how and when a farm operator must report his own and his workers’ farm earnings. The farm operator will report his earnings from self- employment on the same return on which he reports Federal in come tax. He will pay self-em ployment tax for each taxable year ending after 1954 in which his net earnings from self-em ployment are $400 or more. If the farm ^operator reports his income tax on a calendar year basis, his first report and payment of self- employment tax will be made for the calendar year 1955, and will be due not later than April 15, 1956. If a farm operator has a worker to whom he expects to pay at least $100 in cash wages during 1955, he is advised in the booklet to keep a record of the name, soc ial security acount number, and the amount of wages paid to the worker. The farm employer, more over, is told that he should deduct two percent social security tax from all cash wages paid to each such employee. As the employer, he iqust contribute ' an equal amount, report the wages, and pay the total social security tax of four percent to the District Direc tor of Internal Revenue. The booklet includes an appli cation form which employers of farm workers may send to the District Director in order to obtain further instructions, tax return forms, and an employer’s identifi cation number. INJURES FOOT IN FALL Mrs. E. E. Epting who had the misfortune to fall and injure her foot, was admitted to the local hospital Monday of this week. She is reported to be resting more comfortably now. I DA INGALLS knew practically all the news in her town of six thouseryj persons almost before the daily paper did. Unsympathetic people called her the village gos sip, but to her friends she was a kindly soul with an intense inter est in humanity due to her desire to help anyone in distress. Yet these same friends were forced to admit that curiosity did play a big part in Ida’s constant search ing. Right at the moment she felt decidedly irked because she couldn’t find out the latest news about Sally Andrews. None of the hundred people cm Ida’s telephone list seemed to know what was brewing, but something surely was. Ida knew that she was jealous of Sally because at Mary’s un popularity. Mary, Ida’s daughter, had only one boy friend, hi fact Harry was the only one Mary had ever had, and Ida sometimes trem bled for fear she might lose him. Just this morning at breakfast Ida had quizzed Mary and Bill, her stolid but dependable son, and neither could or would tell her anything. Jack, her nice mailman husband, had smiled indulgently, but BUI was angry. Bin didn’t cere for gossip, Mary had remonstrated in her uncertain, flattery manner. "Let’s leave Sadly alone. She’s sweet and I’d give my library job to be one thousandth as wonder ful,** and tears filled her pale blue "Atta. girl!** BUI had agreed en thusiastically. Later as he left In his old Nord car for his job at Miner’s Hatch ery, he announced that he wouldn’t be home for lunch. After the rest of the family left, Ida decided to can Matty Jenkins, number eighty-nine on her list. She might know about Sally. Ida never scouted for news when the family was around, for the ensuing conversations caused too much teasing and oftentimes downright disturbing unpleasantness. She dialed Matty’s number. Abruptly she asked, "What’s this I hear about Sally Andrews?’’ and before Matty could answer, con tinued, very itocasually, "A girl with so many boy friends must be, well—have you ever heard that she lacks good bringing up?" "No,” came Matty’s soft voice. "But I understand that she has sent; her block long string of admirers skittering, and settled on one!’’ No, Matty didn’t know who the lucky one was and hung up. May be Abigail Adams, number fifty on Ida’s list, might know. But Abigail knew only that, "Sal- ’ ly has finally settled on one. She and her mother are very happy about It. They say he Is such a steady fellow with a fine job!" "What kind of car does he have?" Ida persisted. “He comes at night and I can’t ■ee," Abigail told .her meekly as If apologizing for not knowing. “Thanks, anyway.” Ida was greatly disappointed and in a dith er of excitement She had time for one more call before Mary and Jack showed up for inru^H "Hello, Maude! Have you heard the latest about feather-weight Sal ly Andrews?" And when Maude told her, "Yes," Ida asked, "Who is the fellow?" “I don’t know,** Maude con fessed ruefully, "She has turned down fellows with flashy cars. This one has an old Nord and a good job, too, I understand.** "Nord!" Ida grasped weakly, and then had presence of mimi to add, "a good job is a good thing,** and hung up. Ida was beside herself with wor ry and what not "Nothing left,** she told herself, "to do, but call Sally's garrulous grandmother Mil ler although she isn’t one of the hundred on my list. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER The gafftopsail is a sail-water catfish.—Sports Afield. Memory, vivid memory, carries me back to the late June day my brother, colored playmate, and I took the wagon one Saturday and went to Chapin for some syrup. Our home-made sorghum had run out some time before. Syrup then was a treacherous thing the next summer, when the weather warmed up. For some reason it would often start “work ing”, that is, foaming up. And if you agitated it any, you made it worse. The two hens and few eggs we took bought the salt and pepper we needed and left enough for 3 gallons of syrup that the merchant drew out of a barrel and poured into our 5 gallon jug. . By the time we got to cousin Willie' Haltiwanger’s on the way home the joggling wagon had caused that syrup to start “work ing’ and pushed the wad of paper out that we had used as a stopper. We kids were very hungry for something sweet, as our syrup had been out several weeks. So we got around that jug and started lick ing the amber fdam as it cascaded down the sides of the jug. But soon we had enough. We didn’t want to see it waste. So we stopp ed by colored a man’s house and poured him out about a gallon of foam and syrup, for which he was very grateful. But by the time we got down to the Risters, It was running over again. There we got a cob and drove it down In that jug. We felt secure then on the way home, ex cept for the yellow jackets and bees that were swarming aH over the wagon there for the spilled syrup. But we made it without any' stings. Now tills is not the end of this story, not by a jug full. But 1 don’t have any more room. Will be back next week for one of the funniest things that ever hap pened to us. •K.
