In the new social security
regulations effective now, the
drop out" rule may affect any
one with more than two years
earnings under covered employ
ment. This can best be ex-
planned by answering question
from Mr.. r. L. e.
@. 'T came under self-ern-
ployment in 1851, and during
that year my net earnings were
only $1,323. In 1852 I had a
good year and paid SS tax on
$500. Then in '53 net earn
ings were only $2,056. However.
in 1854 I again earned over
$500. I have sold my business
and expect to retire, although !
won't be IS until January, 1857.
What will my monthly benefits
be?"
A. Under the old law, your
monthly average earnings would
have been figured on the total
number Of months beginning
with January, 1851. through De-
cember, 1856, or a total of n
months. Total earnings of $10.-
$40 divided by n give a monthly
average Of close to STAT. This
would make your monthly
checks $67.90.
Under the new regulation, in
figuring your monthly average
net earnings, four years in
which you had either no earn

LACK OF PHOSPHORUS in many
Wyoming soils holds down yields of
many crops, according to Wyoming
Agricultural Experiment Station scien-
lists.
j. L. Mellor, agronomist, says "a
out of every 100 soil samples tested
were low to medium in phosphorus. The
tests showed that fields represented by
81 per cent of the samples need addi-
tional phosphorus for good production
of most crops.
In actual field experiments for 8

years, alfalfa yields increased nearly
III times when phosphorus was added
to fields low in phosphates. Extra phos-
phate on medium to low phosphate soils
also helped sugar beet yields.
Added phosphate-in tests made so
far on medium phosphate soils-did not
increase yields of beans.
Scientists are checking various phos-
phorus soil tests to find the best one
for Wyoming conditions. They hope to
be able eventually to tell Wyoming
farmers what yield increase they can
expect from adding phosphorus to their
soils.

officials insisted making this health and welfare
compulsory They demanded that be forced employee
