C0BA Has Soil
Conservation Plan

Hay is the main feed for the
81 bulls at the bull farm of the
Central Ohio Breeding Associa-
tion," said Manager Dick Kellogg.
I'VE feed hardly any grain to the
bulls. They get little oats, and
that's ALL"
Kellogg wanted to raise all of
the top-quality hay needed by the
bulls on CO.B.A.'s 1I3-acre farm.
"On the west side of the farm"
Kellogg added, "the land was al
ways wet. We lost new seeding
one year because there was
small lake on the field for several
days"
In May 1853, the C.O.B.A. farm
became cooperator of the Frank
lin Soil Conservation District. A
conservation farm plan was work.
ed out by MIR. Kellogg, with the
assistance of David C. Brooks, Soil
Conservation Service technical
assigned to the District. The drain
age of this wet area of about 40
acres, including the lake was
planned at this time.
A topographic survey of the wet
area was made last fall by the To-
cal technician, with the assistance
of the Soil Conservation Service
area engineer, Guy Kearns. Kearns
also planned the location of tile
mains, sub-mains, and laterals.
The installation was started in
December and completed in Janu-
ary of this year with at least q
foot cover for all lateral lines.
''The drainage job here on the
bull farm" continued Kellogg, re-
quired 28,OO0 feet of tile-more
than 5 miles. And some of the best
land on the farm has been made
available for hay production"

Bricker Proposes
Farmer Tax Cuts

Senator Bricker (R., Ohio) pro-
posed that self-employed farmers
be exempt from paying social Sc
curity taxes on the wages of their
employees and that the social Sc
curity tax on their own income be
reduced.
Bricker proposed the social Sc
curity tax paid by the self-employ-
ed farmer on his own income be
made the same as that paid by an
employee in business or industry.
In an amendment introduced in
the Senate, the Ohio Senator call
ed for social security tax of 2.5
per cent on the first $4,000 of in
come for self-employed farmers.
The farmers tax on wages of his
employees would be dropped.
A bill passed by the House and
now pending in the Senate Finance
Committee III. r. 7225) would in
crease the tax on self-employed
farmers from the present rate of 3
per cent to 3.75 per cent for the per-
iod 1869 The bill also would
increase the present 2 per cent So
cial security Withholding tax on in
dustrial and business employees to
2.5 per cent.
Bricker's amendment would
make the tax on the self-employed
farmer the same as that for en-
ployees, starting with 1856 He
gave this reason for the amend
ment:
THE American farmer, unlike
the industrial employer or the
self-employed businessman, cannot
hope to pass on to consumers the
cost of social security pay
ments. To remove this inequity, we
must give the farmer, for social Sc
curity tax purposes, an equality
with employees in industry and
business"
He said his amendment would
save each farmer who makes 81
200 year $3.50 in tax on his own
income, plus 2.5 per cent on the
wages paid his employees, up to
$4,000 for each employee.
