well as minimum prices, and
also ruled that it could not set
different minimum prices for
milk sold In stores and milk
delivered at home.
At the series Of hearings held
las a result Of the Supreme
Court decision. Attorney Arthur
|B. Hanson for Safeway Stores
has argued that the commission
must set a minimum price that
represents the lowest possible
price any dairy can sell its milk,
and still make a reasonable
Iprofit-regardless OF whether it
lis sold m stores or delivered at
home. Safeway Stores owns Luz
tcerne Dairy, which is sold ex-
clusiveIy in the grocery chain.
Diaries that deliver milk to
homes, however. told the COM
mission a minimum price should
be fixed that Is q representa-
tive" minimum for all types Of
diaries. This could be expected
to result in q higher minimum
than the plan favored by Safe
way because q representative
minimum would take into ac-
count the operating costs Of all
dairies-including home delivery
expenses.

case before reaching q decision
on new minimum milk prices

The fact that the commission
IS concerned about effect Of the

the FIRST indication that it was
considering retention Of retail
price controls at least In some
parts Of the State.
Sat the hearing in Northern
Virginia, d majority of those
who appeared urged retention
of producer price controls and

Share-croppers
Considered Self.
Employed For
S. S. Purposes

"Share-croppers in Mississippi
should be interested in knowing
that they are generally considered
self employed for social security
purposes" announced M. B. White,
District Manager, Jackson Social
Security Administration today.
"This means share-croppers are
building toward protection for
themselves in their old age and
protection for their families in case
of their death. To qualify for this
valuable family protection, they
must have net earnings of at least
$400 from their farming operations
in year"
Mr.. White pointed out that
share-croppers, like all farm opera
tors, will report their earnings for
social security purposes for the
year 1855 by filing an income tax
return with a farm schedule.
Share-croppers must file these tax
returns with the District Director
of Internal Revenue, Jackson, early
in 1856, in order to receive social

operations, even though they may
not owe any income tax.
Under recent Interpretation is
sued by the Internal Revenue Ser
vice and the Social Security Ad-
ministration, share-croppers in the
usual farming arrangements in
this area would be considered as
self employed. The landowner par
ticipating in the usual share-crop
arrangement would be considered
as receiving income from rent and
would have to report his income
from his share of the crop for
social security purposes, nor would
he receive social security credit,
Mr.. White continued.

information relating to the filing
