FARMERS MUST NOW PAY SOCIAL s. TAxESII

Farmers now must pay social
 security taxes, that is farmers
 who have one or more regularly
 employed hired workers. The reason is that in 1850 the 81st Congress amended the Social Se- curity Act of 1885 to extend old
 age and survivors insurance to regularly employed farm and farm household workers. The amendments took effect January l, 1851.
 It is estimated that about 600,- 900 workers in the United States on farms are eligible for coverage under the new amendments. Un- doubtedly there are some in ev- cry area of the United States and Alaska.
 Regular hired farm workers will want to be sure they are in- cluded if they can qualify. This will make it possible for them to receive retirement payments at the age of 65, and in case of death for their families to receive pay ments.
 Farm operators who hire regu- lar workers will be obliged to make the payments and failure to do so will result in about the same penalties as failure to pay income tax.
 Regular hired farm help includ- ing cooks and housekeepers are covered as long as they meet the following qualifications:
 CD Work full time for three month period (calendar quarter3 for one farm operator. This isd called the qualifying period. The, three month periods start on Jan uary l, April 1, July l, and Oc- tober l. No tax is paid during l this qualifying period. The last 1 quarter of 1850 can be used to qualify. 1
 '(2) Continue to work for the same employer for at least 60 days in each succeeding three month period and earn at least $50 in cash wages. For each one of these three month periods the wage earner will be covered if the insurance (taxes) is paid byl the employer. He will be covered for one quarter if he works less than 60 days but earns at least s50. |
 However, to be covered in any

each pen.
Twelve hundred ewes were LANDED
out in the yards last year and about
1,400 will lamb in March, 1851. About
half the ewes are registered Column
bias. The 800 or so buck lambs are
held over and sold as yearling range
rams with some registered animals
sold to other purebred breeders.
The best of the eve lambs are not
held over but are sold as registered
or eligible for registry breeding ewes.
The wether end of the lambs are
kept in the feed lot and fed out to
about 10 pounds. There are usually
about 100 to $50 of the wethers put
in the feed lot. The feed used is
barley, oats, mill feed and alfalfa
hay-all home grown on some 800
acres of irrigated cropland.

loss of a single lamb and with no
stunted growth from chilling.
The lambs are dropped in the large
drop corral and then taken with their
mothers into the Landing shed. This
shed has a stove but no fire has been
needed in it to date. The lambs are
''jugged" where they are inspected
and numbered. If lambs and mother
are in good condition, both are moved
out into the first row of sun porches
within "a hours after arrival in the
lambing shed.
From the individual lamb and
mother sun porches, they are re-
peatedly doubled up and put into
larger pens in the next three rows of
sun porches. After about weeks in
the sun porches, the lambs and
mothers are ready for the range. This
means they start out on the range
about April Is to 20. The entire
lambing program takes about or 9
weeks. Just how effective the pro-
gram is can be seen in the fact that
a 1875 percent lamb crop was turned
out onto the range the first year the
yards and sheds were used.
"Demountable" Roofs
The large open drop corral was
a simple matter to clean out but
considerable thought went into the
construction of the sun porches so
that these too could be kept clean
and free from disease. The CORFU
gated roofing was made up in panels
and supported on the open side by
Finch pipe uprights.
These uprights had another short
piece of pipe welded across the top
with cut out sections that would al
low the 2-by-4 lumber supporting
the corrugated roofing to fit easily
and securely in place. A few strands
of wire around the 2-by-4 and pipe
made the roof panels secure but
easily unfastened.
With the roofing off the gun
porches, it is an easy matter to clean
out the manure with bull dozer.
And with the roof panels left off,
mother natures sterilizer, the sun,
had good chance to kill off any
disease germs that might be left.
The watering problem is well taken
care of with a piping system that
runs throughout the yard and viii

Landing Yard Setup
Care, Cleanliness, Convenience
Contribute to 1850 Lamb Crop
BY JERRY LESTER RoOing Reporter

CARE AND CLEANLINESS are
the two essential considerations in
producing the usual 1876 percent lamb
crop at the Snyder sheep company
ranch, Big Horn county, Wyoming.
And to get the last word in care and
cleanliness, a new lanbing yard set
up with buildings and sun porches
was recently designed and con-
structed by young Jack and Bob
Snyder, the new managing brothers
in this long established Columbia
sheep business.
Outstanding feature of the new
yard layout is the use of pumice-con-
crete building block as the protect
ing shed wall on two sides Of the
drop yard as well as for walls of the
Landing shed. The use of blocks Of
fered more fireproof, warmer and
slightly cheaper building material
than double frame wooden struc-
lures, according to the brothers. All
sheds except the lambing shed have
corrugated galvanized roofing over
them.
Sheared Before Landing
Warmth is important in the lamb
ing operation because the ewes are
sheared before lambing, which is in
March. The lanbing in 1850 was
done in 4-below weather without the

of the registered Columbia's scheduled

leaves is made of two small pieces OF
pipe welded together with leather strap
that goes around neck of sheep 10 hold

form are made of welded pipe and

INFLAMMATION Feared
At Friendship Airport
By the A..oeiatkd Press

BALTIMORE, July 24.-Friend-
ship International Airport direc-
tors are interested in the estab-
lishment of a proposed $43 million
Military Air Transport Service
center there only if the Air Force
can give assurance that its ac-
tivities won't disrupt commercial
airline operations.
Several airport board members,
at a prolonged meeting yester-
day, said they feared that, unless
rigid restrictions are written into
contract-lease. with MATS,
Friendship might be militarized
and commercial operations suffer.
Walter F. Perkins, board chair
man who met July 13 with E. T.
Dickinson, Assistant Secretary of
the Air Force. said he gained the
distinct impression that MATS
had made up it's mind to locate
at Friendship but wants to know
how much it will cost.
The board authorized MIR. Per-
kins and Maj. Gen. Donald H.
Connolly, U. S. A., retired, director
of the Baltimore Department of
Aviation, to resume negotiations
with MATS, looking to a contract
to meet the objections of mill
tarization.

Military Bases Told
To Obey Virginia Law
AGAINST Child Labor

The Defense Department said
today it has instructed COM
fnanders of military installations
in Virginia to require full COM
pliance with the States child
labor laws at their bases to elinli-
nate conditions about which Vir-
ginia had protested.
At Richmond, State labor off,
Gals said they had knowledge of
the employment of under-age
children at several bases and
camps but emphasized that at
many installations the command
ing officers had co-operated fully
to help solve serious problem.
Points to Contracts.
A Pentagon spokesman said that
all contracts between the military
departments and civilian con-
cessionnaires require conformity
to State laws and he added that
base commanders ARE being
alerted again about the general
situation"
The Virginia authorities said
they are primarily concerned with
correcting undesirable conditions
before schools reopen in the fall,
but also are interested in seeing
that private employers are not put
to a disadvantage because of child
labor practices at defense estab-
liShments.
The State requested the Defense
Department to issue directives
that would require Federal mill
tary installations to conform to
practices under the State laws.
Similar directives were obtained
from the Interior Department
when point was raised about
child labor conditions in national
parks.
State Labor Commissioner E. M.
Boggs and Mrs. Jessie NJ. Sharp,
director of the Virginia Labor
DEPARTMENTS Division for Women
and Children. listed these exam
pies of employment conditions
that violate the State law:
IA 14-year-old girl employed
in q Navy laundry (Since re-
leased from the job).
2. A 12-year-old boy. was un-
able to do any written work IN
school last week because his
hands had been cut and bruised
while he set pins in bowling
alley on military base.
3d. conceSSionnaire at one in
stallation employed a number of
boys from IL to Is years old att
various post exchanges in which
80 per cent beer was sold. The
boys worked until l09p.m. for $50
Q week. s.
4. A school teacher listed Isl
underage boys at ore base, In
GLIDING one who had just spent
several months as patient in al
hospital for crippled tchildren.
Jurisdiction Question Raised.
Mrs. Sharp said the question of
State and Federal jurisdiction had
been raised in a discussion of the
child labor problem with the De-
Tense Department.
In general, the Virginia statutes
set hours of work for those under
10, prohibit hiring of children att
occupations that are Of moral orl
physical hazardous nature" andi
provide safeguards so children will
not be hired for work during
school hours.

Two Ballots Taken.
The jury of II men and one
woman began deliberations at
3:08 pm. Two hours and 20
minutes later, they announced
their verdict to Judge j. Dudley
Digges. Foreman Raymond Rup-
pert of Richie said later only two
ballots were taken, and that the
first was 10 to 2 for acquittal.
Court attaches termed the trial.
which began last Tuesday, one Of
the most expensive in the county's
history. They recalled that is was
preceded by a three-month in
vestigation and that 235 persons
were questioned at a cost Of IS
each. before the jury was selected.
Trial attorneys said the case.
the first stemming directly from
the Kefauver crime probe, was
without precedent and the court
called the point at issue a mar
row" one.
Advised on Illegal Bets.
Stripped of technicalities, the
question taken into the jury room
was whether betting agents at the
track became bookmakers when
they accepted wagers telephoned
to them by principals at outside
points, and whether aid given the
agents by the track management
made all defendants conspirators.
In advisory instructions, Judge
Digges said the use of telephones
for transmitting bets is illegal on
the part of both the person who
calls and the person who receives
the call. The jury, which under
Maryland statutes decides both
law and fact. apparently disagreed
with this viewpoint.
