good than bad. The attempt of stores not
issuing stamps to combat them with price
cuts has, so far, meant that in most markets
the stamp stores have met the advertised
price cuts while continuing to issue stamps
And the answer to the question SHOULD
l start saving stamps?" is a qualified yes.
All other things being equal, convenience of
store location, shopping conditions within
the store and most important of all, competi-
tive prices for food, the stamp saver benefits
She may not benefit as much as stamp
companies and grocers issuing the stamps
would have her believe. The value of a
stamp book is not easy to figure. 1t depends,
for example, on whether the value of the
premium is figured at the high, fair-traded
price or a discount-house price. Even at
higher prices, the value per book is seldom
more than $3.50 And keep in mind that it
takes from $120 to $3.50 in spending to fill
one stamp book.
Housewives were also cautioned to
never spend foolishly just to fill up book.
Remember that on an item that costs, say
50c your five stamps are apt to be worth
less than 11a cents.
Since, in one way or another, you are
paying for the premium merchandise, shop
the stamp plan redemption center or the
premium catalogue as carefully as you would
if you were paying cash
Be sure that the stamp given by the
market is either from an old established
stamp company or is one that is backed by
a well established firm because fly-by y-night
stamp companies do exist.

Trading Stamp Boom

Whether or not the housewife benefits,
trading stamps are putting new kind of
competition into retailing according to the
October issue of Consumers Report, which
has looked at this new business venture
from every angle.
The Associated Food Retailers of Chi
cago, describe the trading stamps as "Prosti-
tuition at their best, economic insanity at
their worst.
But neither words nor emotion have
stemmed the trading stamp tide
The whole phenomenon-the rapidity'
of the spread of stamp plans thruout food
retailing and the increasing amount of
promotional emphasis given them-has
deeply frightened retails.
When a big supermarket launches a
trading stamp program in neighborhood,
other kinds of retailers are likely to tag
along, including the gasoline station, dry
goods store, beauty shop, cleaner, etc.
Stamp plans are generally sold to retail
ers by stamp companies with a franchise
that grants the retailer a monopoly on that
stamp in particular trading area for his
particular line of goods
The tendency for the wave of stamp
plan activity to mount in intensity and
spread throughout retailing is now re-
coghized as a potentially uncomfortable
economic force. How far will it 60? Will
everybody soon be offering stamps? Who
will benefit? Who will suffer?
The answer to the question care stamps
good or bad for consumers?" is that for the
time being stamps have probably been more

II you're a farmer, chances are
that changes in social security
which became law this summer
affect you and your family. This
is SO whether you own farm,
rent farm, or do work on a
farm for someone else. Today,
l want to discuss a provision in
the amended law which affects
many persons who have farm
property-either as owners or
lesSees.
Since 1854, earnings from self
employment as a farmer or
rancher have counted toward
old-age and survivors insurance.
The new law doesn't change
that under the old law, however,
you did not get social security
credit for cash or crop shares
you received as rent for your
land. Income from farm land
which was let out to someone
else, even if on share farming
basis, was regarded as rentals
from real estate and did not
count toward social security. The
man who had only this kind of
income from his farm was re-
garded simply as a landowner,
not a self-employed farmer.
In many cases, income of this
type is still excluded from social
security coverage.' If you simply
collect rent for the land, that's
still rental from real estate.
Under the 1856 amendments to
the law, however, the cash or
crop shares a farm owner re-
ceives from a tenant or share
farmer is regarded as farm in
come which will be credited to
his social security account if he
materially participates" in the
management or production of
the farm commodities.
Let's say you own some land,
or hold farm property under
lease, and in turn rent it to
someone else. If you simply col
lect rent for the land, that's still
rental from real estate. Don't

report it as self-employment
farm income for social security
purposes. On the other hand, if
you let out the land to a share
farmer, but still take and import
ant part in the growing of the
crop or the management of the
production of the crop on that
land under the arrangement
with the render, that's most
likely material participation" p"
In that case, the money you
realize from the transaction
would not be rental income but
farm income. It would count
toward old-age and survivors in
