PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1959 Tax Returns On Household Help Must Be Made Employers of household work ers must file a return "or the Oct ober through December 1958 quarter on or before January 31, 1959, Mr. Francis G. Duehay, Dis trict Director of Internal Revenue for the Columbia district remind ed them today. At the same time, Miss Martha F. Pressly, district manager of the Greenwood social security office, pointed out that this obligation to file a return applies to every household employer who paid $50 or more in cash wages to a cook, jnaid, laundress, or any other household employee during the calendar quarter. Returns must be filed after the close of each cal endar quarter and are due April 30, July 31, October 31, and Jan- -uary 31 every year. Most household employers will make reports on Form 942. This is a special simplified form print ed on the back of a return envel ope. A household employer who is already on the mailing list of the District Director of Internal Re venue, received one of these forms before the end of December. If so cial security taxes are due from a household employer who is not now on the mailing list, the em ployer should ask the District Di rector for the form and give him her name and address to be added to the mailing list before the next quarterly return is due. The amount of the social secur ity tax for the last calendar quar ter of 1958 is 4 % % of the total cash wages paid to a household worker in a calendar quarter. The employee is expected to share this tax with the employer; however, it is the obligation of the employ er to report and remit the total tax of 4%% to the District Dir ector of Internal Revenue. Begin ning with January 1959, the so cial security tax will be 2 V2 % each for employer and employee. While the $50 cash wage test ap plies separately to each household worker, no report or social secur ity tax is due on any household worker who was paid less than $50 in cash during the calendar quar ter, Miss Pressly pointed out.

This meeting is being held in co operation with the local ASC of fice for the purpose of explaining the 1959 Cotton Program, since every cotton grower will have to decide between now and March 16th whether he will take Choice A or Choice B in the Cotton Pro gram. Choice A means that a grower will grow his alloted acre age which will be supported at not less than 80% of parity. Choice B entitles a grower to*increase his allotment by 40% with a support level of 15% less parity than Choice A. Full details of the cotton pro gram will be presented so that growers will have the facts neces sary to make the decision as to what choice they will make. In formation will also be presented on releasing cotton acres not to be planted this year along with pre measurement of acres to be plant ed. We feel it will be of benefit to all cotton growers to attend this meeting.

Foun dation Seed Associations will meet at the Wade Hampton Hotel in Columbia next Thursday, Feb ruary 5th at 9:30 A. M. An outsanding program has been arranged and a number of topics of interest to seed growers and processors will be discussed. Fertilizer Recommendations Bulletin Available: Fertilizer Recommendations for South Carolina—1959 are to be found in Circular 452 now avail able at the County Agents Office. This new bulletin gives the latest fertilizer recommendations for field crops, vegetable crops and fruits grown in our state. The reason we mention this bul letin is because we still believe that the efficient use of fertilizer is one of the most valuable tools a farmer has today of increasing farm profits. Experiment Station results bear out that a return of 3 dollars can be expected for each one dollar spent for fertilizer where complete fertilizer and li ming recommendations are follow ed. We also hold that most farmers use too little fertilizer for most profitable production of farm crops. In determining the amount and kind of fertilizer that should know the soil type ’on which the given crop is to be grown, the pre vious crop and its yield, the pre vious cropping management, the kind of crop to be grown and his expected yield or desired yield. Knowing these factors, the best guide for determining the grade of fertilizer and the amount to use is a soil test. A soil test, also shows how much lime is needed. The most efficient use of fertli- March of Dimes Will ♦ Step-Up Virus Studies PROBING FOR BREAK-THROUGH in virus rmirch, Drs. Hulun Van Vunakis, left, and James L. Barlow work in tho Albany, N.

Returns from the use of commercial fer tilizer can be readily increased by proper liming of fields and by ap plying fertilizers on the basis of soil tests. Now is an ideal time to make soil tests and be in a position to fertilize for best possible crop production in 1959. Civic Leaguers Hear Talk By Rev. Wilson Dave Hayes and Charlie C.
