Farmers to Receive
Payment on Wheat

Wheat farmers who take part in
the 1898 AAA farm program viii be
able to earn IL cents q bushel ON
the normal yield OF their wheat
acreage allotments, provided they
meet the requirements Of the pro-
gram" Howard Mann, secretary Of
the State Agricultural Conservation
Committee, says.
"This Is the new rate which Is
being used to compute payments
which wheat farmers can earn" Mr..
Mann says.
In addition to the payment COM
puted for the wheat acreage allot-
ment. farmers will receive 20 cents
an acre for certain other acreages
Of crop land.
The wheat and other payment
items used In computing the total
payment which q farmer may re-
cence represents the amount possible
for farmer to earn, Mr.. Mann re-
ports. He points out that farmers
need to meet the general require
ments Of the program regarding the
acreage allotments and soil-building
goals before they can earn this full
payment. II the acreage allotments
are exceeded, or II the bodybuilding
goal is not reached, the payments
will be less than would otherwise be
earned.

Many Employers
Fail to File Returns
for Social Security
Payroll Payment Must
be Made this Month
Says Collectors

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has expressed its concern over the
large percentage Of employers in
Washington and Alaska who have
not yet filed reports showing taxable
wages paid to employees from July
l, 1897 to December 81, 1897, as re-
quired under the Federal Social Sc
curity Act, approximately IL per-
cent have failed to file returns on
Forms $50 and SS-2a with the
collectors for this period. These
Figures are significant, as the en-
ployers who have failed to file these
information returns have been re-
ceived.
The Collector pointed out it is to
the interest Of the employer, as well
as employee, to have this informa-
ton sent to the collector without
further delay. Employers viii save
themselves the necessity Of having
to make explanations to their en-
ployees or survivors Of deceased en-
ployees, and will cut down on the
need Of further. conference with
government officials II they are
now prompt in submitting these re-
ports to the u. s. Collector Of In
ternal Revenue.
Acting Collector Henricksen point
ed out that to receive old-age bene-
fits under the provisions Of the So
cial Security Act, it Is necessary
that an employee be credited on the
records Of the Social Security Board
with the amount Of wages he has
earned. He pointed out that the
information concerning the amount
Of wages paid an employee Is re-
quired by the government In order
to calculate the benefits under old
age insurance which the govern
ment has obligated itself to pay
workers when they reach the age OF
65, or to their estates in the event
Of their death. It is, therefore. Inn
portant to the employee that the
taxes deducted from his wages by
the employer and the. amount OF
taxable wages he receives are
promptly reported to the Collector
of Internal Revenue.
section 807 Of the Security Act
provides penalties up to $4,000 for
willful failure to make returns or
supply such information required
by law and regulation" said Mr..
Henderson, "but the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue does not believe
that many employers have dehber-
ately withheld these reports. On the
contrary, it Is convinced that most
of the law-mostly among employ
ers Of only a few persons and that
when they understand that their
employees can receive no old-age
benefits until the delinquent returns
would be acting in their best IN
terest, as well as their employees to
file these returns at once. Every
employer who has one or more en-
ployees should file these wage re-
ports Immediately, II he has not al
ready done So"
The Collector feels that the fill
ing of returns is q legal as well as
q social obligation, which must be
met by employers. II these returns
are not filed, and II his force Is OBJ
ligated to relinquish other duties to
secure the returns, the Collector
fools there can he no compromise II
penalties follow.
