tape. So much for my own thoughts.
Obviously, those confronted with
drafting farm legislation are faced
with thenightmare of overproduc-
ton. Unlike industry, which is not
seriously affected by varying wealth
er conditions and certainly not by
pests that destroy, the farmer can
not plan production to meet the de-
mands. This has necessitated the use
of Federal funds to maintain falling
prices and give the farmer some in
come when the prices for farm COM
modities are below the cost of pro-
duction. It is the same whether call
ed agreements to curb production,
payments for conserving the soil or
WhatnOt.
Those who are studying the prob
lem, and it is a real problem, are
impressed by the tremendous in
crease in the production by agricul-
ture. For example, according to a
Federal report, in 1887, the year the
Constitution was framed, the sur
plus food produced by nineteen
farmers went to feed one city per-
son. In recent average years nine
teen people on farms have produced
enough food for f.fty-six non-farm
people, plus ten living abroad. Pro
ductivity per farm worker increased
steadily, and at very nearly the
same rate in agriculture as in in
dustry during the IS years after
1850. Between 1910 and 1880, output
ger worker increased thirty-nine
per cent in manufacturing and for
ty-one per cent in agriculture.
1t is reported that between 1890
and 1885, agricultural production
declined more than ten percent, due
principally to unfavorable weather.
At the same time, because of unem-

What's What
ABOUT
Social
Security

(36) Question: Will you kindly in
form me whether registration under
the Social Security act is compul-
sorry, and if not, in what manner my
employer can be correspondingly
relieved of the payments for old
age benefits. I am not interested in
the latter personally and would well
come information since the one per-
cent deduction now in effect is too
keenly felt in the family budget to
make it practical or desirable.
Answer: If you are engaged in
employment not specifically except
ed under Title VIII of the Social Sc
curity act, and are under IS years
of age, your employer is required
by the Social Security act to deduct
one percent of your wages, when
and as paid, and as an employer pay
one percent of your wages to the
collector of internal revenue each
month. Every employer of one or
more persons, who is engaged in
business not specifically excepted
under Title VIII of the act, comes
under the Social Security act, and
there is no way whereby he can be
relieved of deducting one percent
from your wages and paying one
percent himself to the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue each month. You
should go to- your Social Security
board field office and get Social
Security account number, and re-
port it to your employer, who is re-
sponsible for making the deductions
required by the law. When you
reach the age Of IS, if you have
worked one day in each of five diff
ferent calendar years in a covered
employment you will be entitled to
monthly old-age benefits payment.
If you should die before reaching
IS your dependents would be en-
titled to lump-sum payment under
the old-age benefits provisions of
the act.
(37) Q. l employ a large number
of persons. In the past my firm has
used metal work numbers for my
employees Identification Would the
Socical Security Board object if my
firm had the Individual Social Sc
curity account number of each en-
ployee placed on metal tags, and us
ed as employee Identification work
numbers? This would greatly SIM
pity my records, and at the same
time give each one of my employees
a more durable number than the
one they have at the present time.
AThe Social Security board would
have no objection to your having
your employees Social Security &C
count numbers reproduced on metal
tags, to be used as Identification
work numbers The account number
of each employee is his own and of
course could not be used for anyone
else, and if an employee left your
employ that number is still his. 1t
should be carefully explained to the
employee that that is his Social Sc
curity account number for life and
that he should preserve that num-
Der. Social Security account num-
bers may not be used in any COM
mercial way by any employer.
(37) Q. expect to get married
and change my name. Should l have
my Social Security number voided
or get another one?
A. You should write to the Social
Security board records office, Cand
Ter building, Baltimore, Maryland,
giving your account number, your
name in which the number was is
sued, and your new name. Your
number will remain the same, but
your new name will appear on your
Social Security ledger account in

Neighbors Wage "Merry War; At Home, In Court

The worm turned in city court today during a hilarious hearing when two women arrested on complaint of another occupant of the same house in Waterville hit back at their accuser and claimed that she was a troublemaker. In the end, the complainant was ad- vised by the court to move from the premises.
 The complainant testified that the two other women had cut the aerial wire of her radio, were al- ways making noise in the house, heaped her with insults, and that yesterday one of them threw a milk bottle at her.
 Then the other two swung into action. No one in the house, theiy said, could get any sleep Wednes- day, Saturday and Sunday nights because the complainant and her husband were regularly drunk those nights and kept the place in an uproar. Furthermore, they said, she was the one who used unladylike words, and the milk bottle was thrown only because the complainant had thrown a stone first. Another weapon en- tered the case when one of the defendants asserted that the con- plainant had swung a baseball bat at her.
 From the back of the court room came another occupant of the house to agree with the de- fendants and complain that the complainant was the trouble maker.
 Out of the welter of testimony, the court decided that the Wo- man who complained against the other two was at fault. She was advised to move to another neigh borhood, and the cases of the two women, both charged with breach of the peace, were nolled.
