Plan Drainage
System Before
Installation

MY newly installed tile drain
age system for my 200-acre farm
is quickly paying for ITSELF" says
Delbert Temple, Morrow County
farmer.
Even though / lined and fer
tilted well before installing my
tile, my crop yields were low"
Mr.. Temple said, "but now find
that the meadow and corn yields
have increased enough to pay for
the tile in a few years"
Mr.. Temple advises farmers,
who are expecting to tile, to have
their drainage system carefully

Farm Operators
Social Security
Covers 3,500,0 900

The 1854 Amendments to the
Social Security Act extend old-age
and survivors insurance to over
three and a half million farm
operators people farming for
themselves beginning January l,
1855. This is the largest single
group brought under the program
on compulsory basis by the new
law. Practically all farm opera
tors who clear as much as $400
in a year will begin to earn So
cial security credits in much the
same way as the self-employed
business man has been earning
them since the beginning of 1850.
For the farm operators, the
new amendments provide a spec
ial simplified reporting procedure.
Those farmers who report on a
cash basis and who have a gross
income of $500 or less for the
year may report either their act
ual net earnings or so percent of
the gross income. A farm opera
tor who has annual gross earnings
over $500 must figure his act
ual net earnings for the year. If
that net is less than 5000 for the
year, the farm operator may
either report 5000 or the actual
amount for his old-age and sur
vivors insurance purposes. The
self-employed farmer who has net
earnings of $400 or more in a
taxable year after 1854 must re-
port all such earnings up to $4,-
200 for social security purposes.
His net earnings or profit is
the amount left after subtracting
his farm expenses from his gross
receipts as determined for income
tax purposes. He will pay the
three percent social security tax
on these net self-employment
earnings once a year beginning
with 1855.
The self-employment social Sc
curity tax on farm earnings ap-
plies to taxable years after 1854.
If a Self-employed farmers first

planned before buying single
tile. It's wise," he says, to have
experienced technicians design the
entire system beforehand, for it's
too big an investment to end up
with a haphaZard job"
Temple urges that a farmer
have his tiling plan in hand be-
fore completing arrangements for
getting the system installed.
THE development of a good tile
plan involves a lot of work and
time and the Soil Conservation
technicians cannot always get to
your farm Immediately. The time
necessary for this planning is well
worth it." he goes on to say, for
the map made of my tile system
alone will be very important to
me. If I ever sell my farm, this
map will be a good sales point
for me-" Mr.. Temple pointed out.
The tile drainage system install
led by Mr.. Temple is big step
in establishing the complete con-
servation farm plan developed
with the help of local u. S. Soil
Conservation technicians.

report covering any 1855 earnings
is for the entire calendar year
1855, he will make the report
early in 1856 as part of his Fed
eral income tax return. 1t a far
mer's net earnings for the year
are more than $400, he must file
a self-employment report and pay
the social security tax of three
percent even if his earnings have
not been high enough to requare
the payment of any Federal in
come tax.

CORRECTION

In last weeks paper The Sentinel carried an account of Wrangell get-together in Intercity, Wash, re- porting that the main-springs of the enjoyable party were MT. and Mrs. Chet Lloyd of Intercity.
 However, in giving the Lloyds due credit, The Sentinel put Mrs. Lloyd on the wrong branch of the Wrangell genealogical tree. Mrs. Lloyd is a sister of Loyal, Al and Paul Binkley of Wrangell and not Carl Bradley, as stated. Not that Carl objected! But it must have been a widely-read story for sever. al called the error to our attention
