already imprinted with the en-
ployer's name and address. On
one line she will enter the work
er's name and social security num-
Der, together with the total a.
mount of cash wages paid dur
ing the three months. If the
wages were $40 per week, and
since there are Is weeks in the
three-month period, the total
would be $3.50. The three per cent
social security tax would amount
to $3.50. One-haf of this (S1.95)
is the workers share. The en-
ployer will match this amount.
The total tax of $3.50 is entered

worker come to reanze the mu-
tual advantage of more secure
future for the employee, they will
cooperate to make this simple
procedure work." declared Mrs.
Temple. She feels that it will
promote more stable and lasting
employer-employee relationship,
and believes that this provision of
the new social security for the
protection of the housemaid, the
cook, the hired man, and the
laundress is an important step in
encouraging domestic employ
ment.
Before January l, every regul-
ariy employed household worker
should have a social security acz
count number card. The social
security office is the place to get
it. Right away, every housewife
should read the booklet, do You
Have A Maid?" The back page
of this informative booklet is a
postage-free post card addressed
to the collector of internal reven-
ue. When mailed, it will place her
on the list for the March mailing
of the envelope report form.

Fruit Notes

3. Now is the time to prune up,
clean up and spray up your or
chard. Fruit production practices
for January and February in
clude: ~ Planting new orchards
or making requirements and addi-
tons to fruit paintings. (2) Prun-
ing and training fruit trees and
vines. (3) Spraying fruit trees to
control scale. (4) Roofing cuttings
OF grapes. (5) Cleaning up or
chard - removing and destroying
material pruned from trees, mum
mied fruits and material harboring
insects and diseases. (6) Making
or repairing trellises for grapes
and berries and training vines on
treilis. (O Fertilizing and mulch
ing strawberries.
Prune fruit trees and grape vines
this month. Although pruning
may be done any time during the
dormant season January is con-
sidered the best time, especially
for grapes.
Peaches and Plums trained to
modified leader system instead of
the open center system make
stronger, more vigorous and high
er yielding trees. To train young
trees to this system, space to S
scaffold limbs from to 8 inches
apart on the trunk with the low
est limb about 10 inches above the
ground. Small trees will rarely
ever require any pruning when
set out while larger trees should
be headed at height Of 80 to SO
inches and lateral branches cut
back to two buds. Pruning of :
and 2 year old trees during the
dormant season consists mainly of
thinning out the smaller branches
and moderately cutting back the
larger branches just above a bud
or branch.
Apple and Pears are trained
similarly to peaches except they
are allowed to develop a more
natural shape with 6 to 8 scaffold
limbs left for the framework of
the tree.
Beuring Trees which have been
properly trained to form the de-
sired shape and frame work will
need only light annual pruning.
For the first few years after the
trees begin hearing the pruning
should consist Of a light thinning
of the branches, removal of any
dead, diseased or crossing BRAN
ches, and a moderate heading back
of the larger branches. Older
trees will require heavier prun-
ing to stimulate the growth Of
new fruiting shoots and to main

inner flap for the essential but
