Textile Worker Will Be Hurt
If Tariff Passes Says Dickson

GASTONIA - The fate of 27,-
900 people employed in the textile
industry in CASTOR county hangs
by a narrow thread. Their fate
depends on what Congress does
with a tariff bill now before law
makers" warns Brice T. Dickson,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce.
He went on to say that not only
will the 2700O people employed in
textile plants be affected. but their
families and everyone else living
in the county will feel the sting
because GaSton's economy is def
initely tied to the welfare of the
textile industry.
Dickson went on to point out
that the bill. which would lower

has already passed the House by
six or seven votes and will soon be
voted on in the Senate.
President Eisenhower is almost
certain to sign the bill should Sem
ate lawmakers pass it.
Why is the tariff bill so danger

I'll tell you Why" Dickson Of
fered. and added:
Because there are apparently
some advisors in Washington who
think the textile industry is eX-
pendable in the interest of foreign
trade. They seek to build up the
economy of Japan and other for

of course he will receive social
security credits for the full ST.
300.
Most employed persons
have had some experience re-
porting their earnings for social
security purposes during the past
few years. However. there are
thousands of folks who went into
business for themselves for the
first time in 1854. Having no pre-
viouS experience with this type of
return they should be interest
ed in learning about the report
ing form for Self-employed peo-
pie. Most folks, of course, are
familiar with the regular feder-
al income tax return known as
Form l040. But Self-employed
people also fill out a form known
as Schedule c. which is a part
of Form 1040. On Schedule c they
will show their gross income from
their trade or business. and ite-
mize their business expenses. The
difference between gross earnings
and total expense of doing buSi-
ness will be their net earnings. If
that amount is S400 or more the
person will pay social security tax
at the rate of 3 pct. He will not
pay the tax on more than $4,000
of net income for 1854 For 1855
and future years. however, up to
$4,000 in net earnings will be sub
ject to tax.
Some folks believe a person
over 65 is no longer subject to
social security taxes. Others be-
lieve the tax no longer applies
when one reaches age - or IS.
Both are wrong. Actually there
is no limitation as far as age
is concerned. Regardless of how
young or how old a Self-emplOy-
ed person may be his earnings
are subject to social security
tax.
All Self-employed people should
realize that in reporting their in
come each year it is important
that they list their social security
number on their return. Make
sure your return is filed with the
District Director of Internal Re-
venue on time, and properly pre-
pared, as your earnings credits
represent protection for you and
your family under Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance.
The Lincoln times., 1955-03-31

Millions of Self-employed peo-
pie will pay social security taxes
at the same time they file their
anual federal income tax returns.
according to Joseph P. Walsh,
District Manager of the Gastonia
Social Security Office.
Generally speaking, anyone who
is self employed in a trade OF
business and had net earnings of
S400 or more in 1854 is required
to file a self-employment tax re-
turn by April 18th.
Too many people believe they
owe no social security tax SIM
ply because they may owe no
income tax. For instance,

Too Much Nitrogen
Hurts Tomatoes

It's easy to make the mistake
of applying too much nitrogen
fertilizer to tomatoes during the
early stages of growth. And it's
just as easy to make the mistake
of not applying enough nitrogen
later in the season.
Tomatoes are sensitive to too
much nitrogen during the first
four or five weeks of growth,
points out DR.. Francis Stark of
the University of Maryland de-
partment of horticulture. "a
heavy application during that
period may cause excessive vege-
tative growth and result in poor
fruit set and low yields. The
crop has high requirement for
nitrogen after fruiting begins,
and heavy applications then will
pay off"
He says the problem of too
much nitrogen early in the season

unfertilized soil, or from soil well
fortified.
John P. Dietrich, University Of
Maryland Extension dairyman,
says this relationship between
soil fertility and milk production
is reported by research workers
at the Michigan Agricultural Elk.
perimental Station.
"A 10-year study is nearing
completion in Michigan and the
results indicate that soil fertility
level does not change the com.
position or feeding value of
crops" Dietrich says. 'In turn,
the composition of the milk does
not change when cows are fed
crops grown on soils of high or
low fertility levels"
If the cows ration is deficient
in protein or minerals Calcium
and phosphorous) her milk pro-
duction will decrease, but the
composition of the milk will re-
main the same. In areas where
minerals may be the limiting fac
tor for milk production, these
minerals may be supplied directly
to the animal in the form of salt
and steamed bone meal, rather
than supplied through the soil
and the plants in the form of fer
tiliZer.
The Michigan workers did find
that as the soil fertility was in
creased, more tone of feed could
be grown per acre and thus more
livestock could be maintained on
the farm. Proper applications of
fertilizer to maintain proper soil
fertility can be a very important
factor in operating the farm most
efficiently.
This study also shows that the
reproduction of the animals was
not affected by soil fertility, Diet.
rich reports. "In other words,
minerals added through fertilizer
applications on the soil had no
effect on the breeding efficiency
of the animals. Experiment sta
ton workers have found in other
studies that cattle fed a normal
ration will not be benefited by adj
ditional minerals. This indicates
that additional minerals added to
the ration will not cure the breed
ing problems that normally occur
in a herd"

Need Sale Bills
For Wool Payment

Bills of sale are important docu.
ments this year for wool pro
ducers who wish to apply for
shorn wool incentive payments
provided for in the National Wool
Act of 1854, says Amos r. Meyer,
University of Maryland Extension
livestock marketing specialist.
For incentive payments on
shorn wool, the usual bill of sale
showing clearly the net proceeds
to the producer at his local mar
keting or shipping point will give
the information required in filing
applications with the local Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton office, Meyer explains.
For payments on lambs and
yearlings, producers must make

At this session farmers will
have an opportunity to examine
some of the sprayers of different

and discuss them with dealers
who are cooperating with the Elk
tension office in the spray pro-
gram.
Program features during the

troll by Frank Mcfarland of Mil
Ter Chemical and Fertilizer Corp,

There will be sufficient time for
a panel discussion and plenty
of time for farmers to talk to
the dealers and see the sprayers
in action.
Any farmer or interested party
in insecticides is most welcome to
attend.

certain that the bills of sale state
clearly that the lambs or yearl-
ings were purchased for slaugh-
ter and had full wool peltS. A
full wool pelt will mean one that
either has never been shorn, or
if it has been shorn, has a one
and-half inch growth of wool.
The sellers will need to have
owned the lambs or yearlings for
at least 30 days prior to their
sale.
To be eligible for incentive pay
ments under the new program,
wool must be marketed on or af-
ter Apr. l, 1855. Applications may
be filed with the ASC office any
time after the wool is sold, ac-
cording to Meyer The percent
age to be paid on shorn wool and
the rate of the lamb and yearling
payment per hundred weight will
be determined in mid-1956 when
the average price received by
growers for shorn wool sold in
the 1855 marketing year is re-
ported by the Agricultural Mar
keting Service. Payments to pro
ducers will be started about that
time.
Payments on shorn wool will be
based upon the percentage diff
ference between the 62-cent in
centive price and the national
average price received for shorn
wool. Payment to an individual
producer will be this percentage
applied to the price he received
for his wool, so highest payments
will go to those who sell their
wool for the best price. Pay
ment rate will be same for all
lambs and yearlingS.
