Question About Social Security

A LETTER RECEIVED from a reader
brings up a question which may be bother
ing other average farmers and ranchers
Can you tell me whether the soil bank
payments l would receive for leaving acre
age out of production would apply on social
security income?", writes our subscriber. 81
have my allotted acreage Summer-fallowed
and ready to seed in the spring but because
of cutting down my acreage under the allot-
ment program my crop land is small as it is
and if cut any more my farming operations
would prove very Improbable, unless the
soil bank payments could be applied toward
my social security income. l am strictly
wheat and alfalfa farmer, and close to re-
tirement, so can't daily much"
The question as to whether the pay
ments under the acreage reserve" and
conservation reserve" provisions of the
proposed soil bank program would consti-
tute "farm income" for social security pur-
poses is an important one for farmers who
wish to qualify for maximum social security
Payments and who have comparatively
short time in which to do so. But it is not
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-02-15

possible to answer this question completely
until the proposed soil bank program is en-
acted and its provisions are finally deter
mined.
Under the social security provisions as
they apply to farm and ranch people "agri-
cultural program payments" are listed
among the items making up farm income"
But the same regulations provide that in
come from renting out farm land does not
count as income for social security purposes
unless real estate, rather than farming, is
the business of the land owner.
The answer to our readers question,
therefore, depends upon whether compen-
Sation under the soil bank plan, if enacted,
is considered to be agricultural program
payments" or trent" Our guess is that the
payments under the acreage reserve" plan
would be considered payments" but that
the payments under the conservation re-
serve plan might be considered rent.
We doubt whether there can be any def
mite answer to this question until the mat
ter is cleared up completely by the provi-
sionS of the law as, and if, finally enacted.

YOUR HOME MAY be quite fully
equipped with electrical conveniences. You
have electric lights and perhaps an electric
cook stove with the latest gadgetS and con-

Then there is the electric refrigerator
as well as mixer, toaSter and coffee per-
colator, to say nothing of the radio and the
thermoStatic electrical control for your
heating system. You may have several other
electrical devices and feel that you are do

The Birthright of an American

Perhaps we should also remind our
young people of what Heraclitus, the an
cient Greek philosopher, said in talking
about change: 'You can never step into the
same river twice"
Just as the water in river changes, so
do the conditions and the environment with
which human beings must contend. Change
is one of the basic facts of nature from
which spring evolution and progress.
In maintaining the basic freedoms which
constitute their greatest heritage, the youth
of America must learn to distinguish be-
to preserve those freedoms and enable them
to function under present day conditions,
and the kind of change which might weaken
and eventually destroy the foundation upon
which freedom stands.

erS are predicting that Congress will enact
a return to 80 per cent supports for 1856.
They reason that enactment of the soil bank
measure will come too late to have much
affect this year and that the Senate will
vote for 80 per cent supports as the only
hope for substantial 'sfarm relief before
election. The House has already passed a
80 per cent support bill. 1t is said that re-
publican political leaders will strongly urge
the president to sign the bill if it passes the
Senate
Provision of higher supports for wheat
of better milling quality might not work out
too well for Montana growers in the long
run. Premiums for Montana's high quality
milling wheat would probably suffer if
growers in other states were encouraged by
higher supports to improve the quality of
their grain. There is room for considerable
improvement of quality in such states as
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas.
Payment rates now being considered for
the acreage reserve section of the soil
bank plan are 70 per cent of 1856 loan rates,
multiplied by the normal yield" of acres
taken out of production, in the case of
wheat This would make payments on the
basis of about SIPS bushel for wheat on
the average. This rate may be raised or low
cred somewhat before final enactment.
1t is unlikely that there will be any limit
on the size of price support loans to indi-
vidual farmers under the new farm pro-
gram There is some question as to the
constitutionality of such provision. Some
farm and congressional leaders are opposed
to limitation on the grounds that it would
tend to drive larger producers out of the
program and to that extent interfere with
the surplus control objective.
Proposal to refund federal gasoline
taxes to farmers on gasoline used for actual
farm and ranch operating purposes is
strongly supported and appears sure of con-

optional instead of compulsory.

On the basis of estimated wheat acreage
for 1856 and average yields, the national
1856 wheat crop is forecast at about $780,
100000 bushels. Total domestic use and
exports are estimated at about 900, 900, 900
bushels. This would result in a reduction
of only 40. DOC, 900 bushels in the surplus.
