Keeping Track OF
Social Security Is
Large Office Job

Keeping tab on social security pay
ments is a tremendous job, and is
outlined by Stacey w Wade, Of Ra
leigh, head of the field office there,
in the following article:
The Federal old-age insurance sys-
tenn is very much like some other in
surance plans The worker pays a
tax, and so does his employer, to
help pay the costs Of the benefits
which the worker will receive. In
other words, he pays sort Of pre-
MUM on what might be called an
insurance policy, which will begin to
pay benefits to a qualified worker
when he is IS or over and to his
family if he should die.
The old-age insurance tax paid by
the worker is one percent Of his
wages. The employer deducts one
percent from the workers wages and
sends that with his own one per-
cent wage tax to the Government
A clause in the new law specifies
that the employer shall give each
worker a receipt for the taxes he
takes out Of his pay. He must fur
nish such receipt at least once year.
He must furnish it at any time a
worker leaves his employ.
Nearly 4700O,O0O workers in the
United States now have accounts
with the Social Security Board,
where their wage earnings will be
recorded from time to time as long
as they work in jobs covered by the
law. Each workers account is rec
ord Of his wages as reported to the
Government by his employer every
three months.
The wage record is carefully kept
for each insured worker whose name
and number are known to the Board,
and on the ledger sheet showing his
wage earnings, his name and his So
cial security account appear. If a
worker has reason to believe that q
mistake has been made in his wage
record or that all of his wages have
not been reported, he should ask the
Social Security Board for state
ment. If there is an error, it will be
found and corrected.
Requests by wage earners fOi
statements showing the standing OF
their od-age insurance accounts are
reaching the Social Security Board
every day. More than 10000 such
requests have already beer received
Any worker can get a post card re-
quest form at the local office Of the
Social Security Board. All he has tC
do is fill it in and mail it to tie
Board. Within a short time, he will
receive a statement showing the
wages credited to him. Under the
new law, however, he must ask for
the correction within four years after
the year in which the wages were
paid or claimed to have been paid

"Weedy" Trees Return Cash Income
on Vance County Farms.

When corn is thinned and cotton
chopped, the plants or "Weeds" cut
down are left on the land. The work
involved is an expense which can
only be repaid through increased
growth Of the plants left.
1t is just as essential to take out
the 'weeds" and remove OVercroWd-
ed plants in growing a crop OF trees
as it is in successful corn and cot
ton production. But when a farmer
thins a crop Of growing trees the
weeds" or Trimmings pay the labor
cost, taxes, and in most cases a pro-
fit. At the same time this removal
of surplus trees promotes an increas-
led growth on standing timber.
When we thin a stand Of crowded
trees, root competition is reduced
and crown competition is relieved by
taking out stunted, crippled, diseas-
ed, and rough trees including the
species of low value (weeds).
AS examples Of farmers who have
profited from thinning timber stands
in Vance county during the past few
years, we point out the following:
Z. J. jackson, Sr., Middleburg; R. B.
Taylor, Townesville;; S. L. Faulkner,
!Vicksboro; M. D. Tillottson, Williams
boro; 1. w. Finch, Bobbitt; A. w.
Reavis, Cokesbury; F. H. Spain,
Middleburg; Mrs. B. A. Workman,
Sandy Creek; C. U. Sanford,
Townsville; J. H. Rice, Williams
boro; w. E. Gill, CoIesbury; T. P.
Stewart, Bearpond; w. M Minor,
Gillburg; w. T. Parham, Watkins;
B. H. Perry, Aycock; T. c. Woodllef,
Kittrell.
These people have harvested from
to IA cords per acre and left from
IA to 40 cords per acre for future
harvest in the form of wood and
timber. Here is a summary Of re-
turns on an acre thinned on one Of
these farms: Harvest 1874 cords
sufficient to pay taxes ($10.02) on
the acre for 33 years and leave a
cash dividend Of S12.77. Left stand
ing 266 trees 8 1-2 inches in dame
ter So inches high, scaling 40.4 cords.
Thus you see the woodlot is val
liable asset to every farmer and
should have a system Of management
applied to it as do the other crops
thereon.
