KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

AS of January |, 1851, Federal
old-age and survivors insurance
coverage was extended to several
million people who work for
themselves.
Since April /, 1852, most OF
these people have acquired eX-
tremely valuable protection in
the form of Federal insurance
which provides for monthly old
age benefits when they retire at
or after age IS, or payments to
survivors in death cases at any
age.
Quite a large number of self
employed people have worked
previously as employees and
have wage credits already estab-
lished with the Social Security
Administration. These wage cred
it's will be combined with their
reported self-employment income
to determine eligibility and
amount of benefits payable.s
On the other hand, many of
the self-employed and their fam
lilies will receive benefits based
only on self-employment income
after 1850. In some cases bene-
fits based on Self-employment in
come alone will be payable dur
ing 1852. Persons who had at
least $400 net income from self
employment during 1851 and at
least $400 during 1852 may re-
ceive monthly payments if they
have reached age 65 and retired
from active business. Persons
who have reached age rs may
file a claim and receive benefits
even though they continue in ac-
tive business.
In death cases the survivors of
a self-employed person who died
on or after April /, 1852, may be
eligible for either monthly bene-
fits or a lump-sum death pay
ment.
Self-employed people age DO or
over who plan to retire in 1852
should consult their local social
security office before making a
decision. 1t may be to their ad-
vantage to defer retirement and
the filing of an old-age insurance
claim until January 1853.
The Social Security office To-
Gated at sos South Street,
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, is open Mon
day thru Friday from $50 a. m.
until 500 p. m.
Mr.. Herman R. Frame, field
representative from the Zanes-
vile Social Security office holds
office hours at the Post Office in
Caldwell, Ohio, at 900 a. m. the
1st and 3rd Wednesday of each
month. -.

Gods Great Offer

Look unto me. and be We
saved, all the ends Of the earth:
for I am God end there is none
else Isaiah 1922.
The text sets forth the simpli-
city of salvation, the greatness Of
it. the extension of it. and the
Great One who offers it.
The ora who makes the offer
Il am God" The offer NAV
well interest every one for it is
made bv the greatest Person in
the universe. We may therefore
accept the offer with the great
est confidence in the ability of
that Person to do what He saws.
The extent of the offer AL
the ends uf the earth" No class
IS selected as specially favored.
and no class is discriminated
aeainst, REGARDLESS Of race or con
dition, socially or even morally.
What the offer is "be We
saved" This is the greatest Of
fer ever made to mankind. All
men are lost and no possible
gift can be offered better than
to offer him salvation
The term of the offer look
unto me" The offer is made on
the easiest possible terms ever
set forth. Who can think of anv-
thing easier? We have an illus
tration in the Book of Numbers
concerning looking. When a man
was bitten by a serpent durino
the wilderness journey. he had
only TO look at the brazen serp-
ent on the pole and he recover
ed. Now when q man is in sin
all he has to do is look to Jesus
and do what He SAYS. and that
man can receive salvation and
have eternal life. Praise His
name - A. J. Stats.

odist Church dining room of

wise caring for the grass. Graz
ing should be deferred on al
pasture in the spring until the
forage plants have started grow.
tn and have reached a height oi
four to six inches. The pastures
, should be moved once or twice
year if needed for weed con-
troll or to remove excessive
growth. All of this is much
easier than recropping and does
not take heavy new investment
in buildings or machinery.
Next, the plan for the cropland
should be based on a four or
more-year rotation of corn, small
grain, and meadow. The upland
fields should be strip cropped
and the waterways left in sod.
Manure should be applied on the
small-grain crop and if more is
available it should be put on the
old meadow sod before plowing.
The trash-mulch method of seed
ing alfalfa may be used to re-
novate pasture or idle land.
Next, we should plan to protect
all woodland fields from grazing
damage and fire. Grapevines
should be cut, "weed" trees and
other undesirable trees girdled
to encourage the growth of trees
of higher value. When the wood
lands are ready for harvest, or
lumber is needed on the farm,
the harvest should made by
Selective cutting. In other words,
trees will be harvested that have
reached their peak value. New
paintings should also be made.
Next, areas around ponds and
steep banks should be planted
to some pines and bicolor les
pedeZa or other shrubs which
provide food and cover for useful
wildlife. Fencerows should not
be burned, nor should they be
moved until after small grain
harvest to avoid damage to
ground-nesting birds.
Finally, we should use the
technical assistance and super
vision provided by the Soil Con-
servation Service for establish
ing conservation measures such
as contour strips, diversion ter
races, farm ponds, spring deve-
lopments, and other practices.
In summarizing, Conservation
Farming for Abundant Living is
a method of land management
designed to safeguard and in
crease the productive capacity of
the land, conserve water, hold
the soil in place, and to continu-
ously produce high yields, and
at the same time provide for a
creditable income from the land
for the farm operator and family
in furthering the welfare of the
community and the nation"

William Jennings Bryan once
stated, Burn down your cities
and leave our farms, and your
cities will spring up again as if
by magic; but destroy our farms
and the grass will grow in the
streets of every city of the
country"
Ordinarily, we think that con-
Servation farming applies only
to the farmer, but if the urban
population is to live abundantly,
they should be interested; for the
farmer will eat long after the
city people are starving. Now,
we are far from starving, but
we must look ahead. 1t takes the
products from 2.5 acres of land
to clothe and feed human being,
but we have 80 acres per person
in the United States now. BY
1875, however, when we will
have five dinner plates to be
filled for every four to-day, that
additional plate will not be so
we'll filled from the extra acre
age unless we practice conServa-
ton farming.
For my home farm in south
eastern Noble county, that means
Grassland Farming, believe.
Grassland Farming helps to i'm
prove and hold our soil, at the
same time cut our costs and,
through processing our forages
by livestock, make extra profits.
Our goal is to get more meat,
milk, wool, and other animal
products per acre at less cost
than under the old method of
farming. We should change our
farm plan to put all easily eroded
surfaces into long-lived grass
stands by adding three to five
pounds of Kentucky bluegrass
and one-half to one pound each
Ladino and Louisiana white
clovers to any hay mixture
adapted to the same situation.
Birdsfoot trefoil at the rate of
five pounds per acre may be in
cluded also. Then, we should in
vest in an adequate supply of
lime and fertilizer and manage
the lands by controlled grazing,
manuring, clipping, and other
