Farm Social Security
Outlined, Opti Affair
Approximately "n Iicrsniu. run* Rwuritv nsutTHvvf-ntat that «»v«»rv-
reM?nt.s'g Ellis and Navarro Coun-
ties—with probably 90 .per cent of
them farmers attended an Opti-
mist Club-sponsored meeting at the
high school Monday night, when
social security covering fanners
was discussed in an open session.
The speaker was Z. E. Avery of
Dallas, district manager ot the
Social Security Administration.
Donald Booth, program chairman,
announced that the program was
arranged through the Ennis Cham-
ber of Commerce, in co-operation
with County Agent Walter Kruse.
Veterans* agriculture classes were
among those present: also, a group
from Corsicana. -
Mr Avery’s remarks of last night
will be presented and he will also
expand them considerably. In a
series of articles in the News <pub-
lished as a public.server i, the first
of which follows:
"Farmers, farm workers, ranchers,
ranch hands, cotton gitners and
their employees, and most other
folks who make their living front
what might be termed agricultural
enterprise, make up »he largest
single group added to the Social
Security family by the 1954 amend-
ments.
‘’Because of the size of this group,
and b(“cause the newspaper is an
excellent source of information,
this senes of short articles on how
the farm family is affected by the
195* Amendments to the Social
Security Act has been prepared
Those who save this and following
articles will have a ready reference
source for most questions that may
arise ns to what actions are neces-
sary by the self-employed farmer
and liis employees to comply with
this compulsory coverage under the
old-age and survivors insurance
provisions of the Social Security
Act. Accurate actions now can
mean accurate and complete bene-
fits within the framework of the
law later; incorrect or incomplete
actions at tills rate might mean
loss of benefits otherwise due an
individual and his family.
“Mo :tlon will be made in later
articles of the desire of your Social
one know fully both his rights and
his responsibilities under this Fed-
cial family insurance system, from
which some 7 million persons are
now receiving regular monthly
checks based on the record of a
retired or deceased individual who
was insured by reason of his earn-
ir fs record.
This series, thanks to the coopera-
tion of this newspaper, is one means
ol informing persons in this area.
Writing or visiting your Social
Security office is another. Asking
for a free booklet on tlie subject or
question that most directly after's
you is still another. Fallowing art-
icles will deal with coverage pro-
visions for the farmer a d his em-
ployees, definitions of farm earn-
ings, benefit provisions, tilings that
need to be done now. seasonal
employees, the sharecropper and his
standing as self-employed or em-
ployee, and eligibility for receiving
monthly checks.
Although directed primarily ro
farm families, much of the infor-
mation in this series as to eligi-
bility for bs^id'its, amounts ot bene-
fits, report.ng requirements for
tiir self-employed farmer, etc., will
also be of interest to architects,
engineers, and accountants. Readers
with questions are urged to sen?
them to the Social Security Admin-
b’ritinn. District Office. 1700 N
Lamar Street, Dallas 2, Texats.
"Beginning Jan 1. 1955 ttjen earn-
ings for farmers and farm hands
will be counted under Social Se-
curity. But no doubt many of you
are wondering what you are "buy-
ing" when you pay your social se-
curity taxes. You are buying old-
age and survivors insurance; that
is, when your earni gs stop be-
cause of your death or because of
your retirement at age 65 or later,
payments will be made from the
fund you helped build up, and will
be made to you and your depend-
ents, or your survivors. Here are
the .types of benefits payable:

The winiei oat mite may cause
serious damage to oats, wheat and
barley. Mite infestations are con-
siderably worse in gram grown on
land planted to grain in previous
years. Crop rotation tends to reduce
the damage. The mites are quite
small, ranging in size tram 1 32
to l 16 inch in length. The adult
has four pairs of legs which are
reddish-orange und the body is
dark brown with a bluish cast.
This pest feeds during, the night
ard may be found during the day
around the base of plants under
clods. The mites develop throughout
the winter being retarded during
Dot. dry periods. The greatest dam-
age .occurs during the winter and
early spring. The mites cause the
tijis of the leaves to turn brown
and the plants become stunted.
Infested fields have a silvery ap-
pearance
The grown wheat mite often
dev elopes to injurious numbers on
wheat. This mite resembles the
winter oat mite except jt is smaller
and lighter brown. This species
thrives in cool spring weather.
When this pest becomes abundant
it causes the leaves to turn brown
and the plant* may die. The brown
wheat mite may be controlled by
proper rotation.
For treatment use 0,25 lb. para-
thion, of 0.25 lb. TEPP per acre
applied as a spray.
Do not allow’ livestock to graze
grain within l* days after applying
paruthion. If it is desirable to graze
grain within 3 days following treat-
ment, use TEPP.
Winter Transplanting; is Safe for
Amateurs
When can 1 move my shrubs?
When is the safe time to plant
shrubs and trees? For amateurs
usually the wintertime is the safest
time because the plants are dor-
mant. When is wintertime? Most
plants are dormant immediately
atier the first two freezes. Plants
that drop their leaves are dormant
after leal fall. It is safe to hiove
the plant then until spring growth
starts. When the ground freezes,
do not attempt moving uritil the
ground is thawed.
Another 1955 Agricultural Outlook
Statement by John Mellaney, Ex-
tension Economist
A near record supply of feed
grains and other concentrates is
available for the 1954-55 feeding
season. The total suply amounts
to about 178 million tons, 4 i>ercent
larger than in 1953-54
The price of oats and hurley are
expected to average lower titan
usual relative to corn during the
1954-55 feeding season. If the 1955
growing season is normal fot* oats
and barley, prices probably will be
relatively cheap again in 1955.
The general level of feed prices
in the 1954-55 feeding season is
expected to average somewhere
i::tar or slightly below that of 1953-
