^ 1962 COTTON BASES
Cotton Allotment and Mar-
keting Quota Regulations re-
k quire a downward adjustment
of any cotton farm base when
the acreage planted on the
farm is less than 75 ',r of'the
cul-rent year’s allotted acreage,
unless the failure to plant at
least 75*7/ was for reasons be-
yond the control of the pro-
ducer.
'rtie County ASC Committee
has the authority to waive ad-
justment of the farm base un-
der certain conditions such as
— adverse weather conditions,
if it is a general condition ap-
plicable to an area, or in a
case that sickness or ill health
prevented an individual plant-
ing the required 75%^or more
of the alloted acreage.
In any case should a pro-
ducer find that his farm is in-
volved in this situation, and it
was caused by a condition be-
yond his control, he should file
a written statement to that ef-
fect-with-the-County -Commit-
tee requesting the committee to
waive the adjustment. Such
statement and request must
be filed by not later than
feed grain program
Feed Grain participants are
reminded that their diverted
acreage must not be grazed or
cut and balecl for hay.

regulations is required for con-
tinuing eligibility for feed
grain payment.
Final payments will be made
some time after Sept. 1.

Refreshing
Foods Feature
August List
College Station — Farmers
are providing homemakers with
a “bonus” lf&t of plentiful
foods for August, points out
the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
The “bonus” comes from the
built-in- “cool and refreshing”
appeal of these foods — that
is, their color, their texture and
their natural godliness when
served chilled.
Fresh peaches and canta-
loupes top the August plenti-
ful foods list, based on a sur-
vey of food stocks in this area
by the Agricultural Marketing
Seivice.
Fresh and processed lemons
and limes as well as fresh pears
and frozen orange juice are in
much heavier supply than last
year.
Turkey, always a star in cool
and refreshing menus, is about
as low in price as it has been
in 20 years — especially at the
/arm level.
Both large turkeys for roast-
ing and young turkeys for bar-
becuing are plentiful this
month.
Many summer vegetables plus
vegetable fats and oils coAi-
plete the August plentiful foods
list for this area. It will he to
your advantage to shop often
for the plentiful foods, con-
cludes the Service.
Tax on Wages
Responsibility
Of Farmers
Some weeds on pasture use
as much as 100 gallons of wat-
er in producing a pound of dry
weight. Common bermuda uses
approximately 66 gallons of
water in producing one pound
of cured hay. To conserve mois-
ture for desirable plant growth,
it is necessary to eradicate
weeds by use of shredder, mow-
er, or chemicals. E. O. Adams
farm management specialist.
The employer-employee tax
rate in 1962 is GV* per cent,
an increase over the 6 per cent
levy of last year. Half of this
amount, or 3% per cent can
be deducted from the wages
paid to farm employees.
Either of two tests apply,
as previ o u s 1 y to determine
those wages subject to the tax.
The first test )is $150 in wages
paid to an individual in a cal-
endar year. The second test is
having hired the same employee
20 days on a time basis, re-
gardless of the amount of
wages paid. So, when either of
these situations apply, the tax
is applicable and must be re-
ported for the workers in-
volved.
Federal regulations require
that tax on agricultural labor
be p a i d to the government
whenever the amount due
equals $100, Bates explains. In
other words, when a farm em-
ployer has paid out $1,600 in
eligible wages, he should de-
posit the Social Security tax
due on that amount in any
eomme'rical hank qualified as
a depository for federal taxes.
The nioney is sent by the bank
to the Federal Reserve Bank in
Dallas and a receipt showing
amount paid is returned to the
employer.
Farm employers then attach
these receipts to their 1962 in-
come tax return as evidence of
payment of part of this year’s
tax obligation.
Bates urges farmers and
ranchmen to pay their taxes
on'Miired labor when it is due
and avoid the risk of paying a
penalty. Good "business records
can be very helpful in keeping
up with wages paid and taxes
due, he concludes.
A good stand of coastal has
been obtained on the J. J. War-
ren farm south of Cumby.

Columbus Grass
Makes Progress
On Sewell Farm
Marked difference in growth
of Columbus grass planted with
three levels of fertility was
noted this week on the Dale
Sewell farm west of town,
where a demonstration is being
conducted for the Renner Re-
search Foundation.
Four types of grass—Colum-
bus, Ennelo Lovegress, Coast-
al Bermuda and Common Ber-
muda—were planted this spring
on four acres of Sewell’s farm,
each grass occupying an acre.
