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.
