naming months which have
elapsed since January /, 1851
until the time you are 65.
(The number Of these months
must be at least 18. If it isn't l3.)
Then divide the total Of your
wage, with the low or no income

of months. The result of this
division will be your average
monthly wage.
You are ready TO apply the
formula. Take $50 of the first
$l10 of your average monthly
wage and add it to 20Go of the
next S240. The result of this ad-
dition IS your monthly benefit
amount or the retirement insur-
ance amount. That's what you

cases, this amount viii be higher

There is another way that the
average monthly wage upon
which the amount of your future
benefits as based may be pro-
tected. This may be done by
means of a provision in the new
law which is known as the liabi-

YOUR
ELECTION
: AEAEc
viz ~

The official counting OF the
election results is a procedure not
usually understood BY the voters.
The ballots themselves are count
ed after the polls close on cleo
ton day by the precinct officials
in the polling place, and their re-
suits are reported 10 the county
Board of Elections. The Board
then adds the results together
and telephones periodically to the
Secretary Of States office as
their precincts report Their final
call 10 the Secretary Of States
office then gives an unofficial
report on their county's total
votes.
Ohio law then requires that
within five days after the cleo
ton, the county Board Of Elec-
tions shall commence their Of
ficial count This does not mean
that they count the ballots again,
but their job is to see that the
results were properly arrived at
and reported. To do this, they
check the poll books, work and
tally, sheets from each precinct.
They count the tallies made By
the precinct officials for each
candidate to insure that the tally
marks were accurately added.
They also survey the signatures
in the poll books and the number
of signatures. The vote for each
office must be added IN every
poll book TO be sure it does not
exceed the number Of persons
who voted in that precinct
Often the public thinks that
the results announced election
night or the day after the cleo
ton are the final totals. The of
ficiaP' results are ordinarily not
complete until three TO four
weeks after the election, due to
the time it takes to 60 through
each precincts records. Speed in
reporting results is important on
election night, bat in the of
ficial' results, accuracy is essen
tial.

one important reason why the
polio fight is a bigger job now
than ever before. AT the very
same time that the March Of
Dimes is purchasing vaccine and
preparing to use it, the organiza-
ton is faced with a record num-
ber of polio patients who need
help"
During 1854, she said, the
March of Dimes aided 74,000
patients, and more than two
thirds Of these were patients
stricken in previous years. An
epidemic one year means many
patients who will need help for
long years afterwards, Mrs.
Fleming said, adding:
We are determined that there
shall be no forgotten men, wom-
en- or children who need our
aid. Of the S64, 100000 needed by
the March of Dimes next year,
almost $30,O00,000 will be re-
quired for direct patient aid
alone. Other needs include scien-
tific research, professional educ
alton and respirator and treat
ment centers. All this is addition
to the polio prevention pro-
gram"
Even with an affective vac
cine, Mrs. Fleming said, it will
not be physically possible to
lnoculate every man, woman and
child in the country for the next
several years. During that in
term period, thousands of new
polio patients will require aid.

Changes In Your Social Security
By Robert p. Youmans
Manager of the GAINESVILLE Social
Security Office

Manager of the GAINESVILLE Social
Security Office
Several times in this series /
have mentioned the increased
benefits for those retiring in the
future. Today I'd like to explain
just how the new law makes this
possible. There are three reasons
why future social security pay
ments will be larger. A little
simple arithmetic, which we will
get into later, will show this
easily.
The first change in the law
increases the total amount of
earnings that you report for both
social security tax and benefit
purposes. Before the 1854
Amendments the top earnings
which could be counted for
social security was $4,000. Be
ginning January /, 1855, yearly
wages or self-employment net
income lfor the total of BOTH
up to $4,000 viii be counted.
Right there is the groundwork
for larger benefits.
The formula for arriving al
the benefit amount has been re-
vised also. And that is the second
reason for the increase in future
benefit amounts. Here is the way
the new benefit formula works:
First, add the wages covered
by social security which you
have received in all of the
months beginning January l.
1855 Now under the new law
you may be able to exclude up
to four or five of your low or no
earning years. I explained how
this exclusion of "drop-out" or
low or no-earning years worked
IN my last article.
Now that you have added your

Can You Name
Greatest Deficiency
Affecting Farm Crops

Can you name the most WIdes-
spread deficiency affecting farm
crop yields today? It's not what
you might think.
Water is the culprit often res
ponsible for low yields, says
John Slipher, extension soil
conservationist. Not that soil
fertility is unimportant; either
natural fertility or plant food
from the fertilizer bag must pro-
vide a nourishing diet before any
plant IN field, garden or orchard
can do its best.
But, as F. S. Hewlett, Ohio
State University horticulturist,
points cut, frut growers -Pply
fertilizer hoping to increase
yields 10 to IS percent They may
be unaware that water deficits
frequently reduce the yields as
much as so percent Quality of
the crop may drop to an even
greater degree. The same holds
true for all field and garden
crops"
In fact, if you apply fertilizer
where water supply is already
below par, you are only agra
waiting the problem and yields
will be doubly disappointing.
The fertilizer promotes Iusher
early season growth; and then
when dry weather comes the
crop needs even mos water
than it would have without fer
tilizer. Plants suffer more and
often produce less than they
would have done without fertili-
zation.
Some soils make much better
use of the natural rainfall than
others, SIpher says. Dense. level.
upland soils with poor under
drainage tend to glaze over in
hard rain, allowing relatively
little of the rain water to enter
the soil They are made up Of
silt particles, and lack the
clumping or granulation which
spells good water rentention. So
they lose water from natural
rainfall in two ways. Such soils
have earned the name of being
"droughty." Adding to the low
organic matter content of these
soils can markedly improve them
for accepting and holding water
within the soil body.
Soils with better tilth quality
take up more of the rainfall. and
hold more of ii in their pore
spaces, Slipher reveals. Pore
space makes up about half the
volume of the best loam soils.
Crops grow best when pore space
is filled roughly half with air
and half with water. Both are
essential to plant growth.
Good functioning Of fertilizer
hinges on good water relations of
the soil involved" Slipher says.
It's not the soil with the most
nutrients, but the one most able
to use what nutrients are pre-
sent that puts the most bushels
in the crib. Those soils with poor
water holding power win give
the lowest returns.
I'VE need to stop, look and lis
ten before we use large amounts
of fertilizer on soils Of that type
We must improve the water
situation first" he says.

rily upon rodents and rabbits for
food; game species being taken
more often by gray. Red fox

No indications rabies in foxes re-

VALUE: Probably an enemy of
