Most Dangerous
Time Of The Year
For Bare Farmland

Farmland is now entering "the
most dangerous time of the year" for
erosion of the soil, according to
Austin L. Patrick Jr., U. S. Soil
Conservation Service at Bowling
Green.
He estimates many tons of rich
soil are lost to farms of this area
during a danger period" which ex-
tends from harvest time until June
of the following year. During this
time, land left bare to wind and rain
is particularly vulnerable to "raindrop
bombing"
Conservation authorities recon-
mend planting rye grass at the last
cultivation of corn. The thick green
cover of the rye grass will protect the
soil from wind and water, will add
organic matter to the soil, will facili-
tate blowing, and will help dry out
the ground earlier in the spring.
One Wood county farmer contract
ed for an airplane to seed rye grass
in corn in Mid August. This will be
plowed under in the early spring be-
fore it gets too tall. He planted one
and half bushels per acre and re-
ports a good stand between rows.

Important Changes In Social Security
Become Effective On January |, 1857

Important changes in Social Secur-
iy become effective beginning Janu-
ary /. 1857, which viii effect many
employees.
First impact of the new setup
which win be noticed by most en-
ployes covered thereby will be an in
crease in payroll deductions from go
to 2hTo on earnings up to $4,000.
The employers payment also is in
creased to 2Aeo since the employer
makes an equal contribution to your
Social Security.
The increase of one-quarter of 1e6
for both employe and employer
is to cover the cost of a brand new
disability provision.
This provides that any person COW
cred under Social Security who be-
comes totally and permanently dis
abled at age so years or later will be
entitled to receive the full benefits
which he or she would be eligible to
receive at IS.
Properly qualified men and women
who are totally and permanently dis
abled may start receiving benefits
after July I, 1857.
The new amendment also pro
vides, starting November I, 1856
that instead of waiting until SIS, 100.
men scho are eligible to receiue So
cidl Security may elect to start re-
ceiving benefits at age 62 on the fol.
lowing basis:
Working women who are covered
by Social Security may receive, al
age 62, 800 of the benefits that they
could receive at IS.

Harold Mdrquart
SerUes In Korea

Army Pfc. Harold Marquart, 10,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron E. Mar
quart, Route l, Jenera, recently par
ticipated in Operation PREVENT
Meda," a week-long medical field
problem held in the small Korean
village of Tokso-Ri.
"Preventi-Meda" was used to sur
vey the village to determine potential
health hazards and to execute cor
rective action with more than 1000
immunizing procedures being carried
out on 400 persons.
Marquart, a medical technician
with the 37th Medical Company, en-
tered the Army in June 1866 and
completed basic training at Fort Car
son, Colo, before arriving overseas
in January.
He is 1866 graduate of Arlington
High School.

Wives of retired workers covered
by Social Security may receive at
age 81, 1876 of the benefits that they
could receive at 65.
Widows of men who were covered
by Social Security win get the full
benefits at age 62 that they would
have received at 65.
The lowered monthly benefits avail
able at 81 to working women and re-
tired workers wives remain the
permanent monthly income for life.
In both cases, however, the longer
they wait after age 81 to start re-
ceiving benefits, the higher the per-
centage they will receive for life. 1t
goes up slightly more than one-half
of 10 for each month after 62 until
age 65.

tons as capably as healthy per-
sons. The use of antibiotics, par

recommended by physicians to
prevent and combat infections
which can easily run wild and be
fatal.
Before the use of antibiotics,
Inephrosis-when recognized as
such and not blamed on some
thing else-was almost a sure
cause of death. Often the symp-
toms of nephrosis, which may
have disappeared, return with
renewed vigor when another in

The course of the disease may
or may not be marked by pro-
gressive kidney failure and pos
sible rehabilitation of the bones.

Complete Recovery
In as many as so per cent or
more of the cases of nephroSis,
there is complete and permanent
recovery.
Often, even without treatment,
there is a spontaneous recovery,
although the course of the dis
ease - as with arthritis and
others-is often marked by re-
missions. The symptoms may
disappear, only to return again.
Group Forms Chapter
Nearly SO persons in this area,
most of whom have a case of
nephrosis in their families, have
banded together to form the
Greater Washington Area Chap

dictable.
