Spray Alfalfa Soon

Alfalfa should be sprayed soon
for chickweed and wild turnip.
says DR.. Paul w. Santelmann.
University of MARYLAND extension
weed control specialist. These two
annual winter weeds create a
problem on Maryland farms each
year during the fall and winter
months. They start growing in
September and continue to grow
until they flower and die in the
late spring or early summer.
Wild turnip has been found in
greater quantities this year than
in the past. Chickweed is increas.
ing too, and DR.. Santelmann pre-
diets 1--WE will have another bad
chickweed year"
Chickweed is bad because in
many cases it reduces alfalfa
stands by smothering the alfalfa
and robbing it of important nu-
trients and water which are need
ed for good growth. Heavy matt
ed chickweed also provides a
place for disease organisms to
live.

Social Security
Insurance Changes
Of Ella
THANKSGIVING ISSUE

The new social security amend.
ments made an important change
in the disability provision in the
social security law, according to
William r. Spates, manager of
the Silver Spring Social Security
Office.
Mr.. Spates stated that while
the disability freeze" provision
which protects the social security
insurance rights of workers is
continued, monthly cash benefit
payments, beginning with July
1857, will be made to totally dis
abled workers who have reached
age SO.
To meet the requirements of
this new provision in the law a
person must have worked con-
siderable time under social secur-
ity and must be so severely dis
abled that he is not able to en-
gage in any substantial work A
worker whose Instability has
lasted for at least six months and
who has little chance of recovery
may be eligible for monthly ben
efits beginning at age so, at the
amount he would be entitled to
at 65.
Mr.. Spates urges all disabled
persons who have never applied
for the disability freeze" of their
earnings record to see their social
security representative to find out
what the new change in the dis
ability provision in the law means
to them. Those disabled persons
who are so years old or older and
have had their earnings record
frozen need not contact the social
security representative before
May 1857. That will be ample
time before July, the first month
for which payments can be made.
For further information, con-
tact the Silver Spring Social Sc
curity Office at 8605 Cameron
Street, Silver Spring.

So9 Maryland Farmers
Sign Wheat Agreements

Maryland wheat farmers signed
agreements placing 11,208 acres
IN the Soil Banks 1857 winter
wheat Acreage Reserve program
through November 2, the Agricul-
ture Department announced. If
S89 farmers signing the agree
ments comply with the require
ments of the program, they will
be eligible for a maximum of
1921 ,948 in acreage reserve pay
mentS.
For the entire u. S., 1850, 773
acres were signed up. If the 1884,
9l8 farmers who signed up COM
ply with program requirements,
they will be eligible to receive
maximum payments of $197, 651,-
699.
The 1857 winter wheat Acreage
Reserve sign-up closed October 5.
AS unobligated funds were real
located to counties which had used
all funds assigned to them, addi-
tional wheat acreage offered pre-
viouSly was put under the Acre
age Reserve program by farmers
who % had filed an agreement
with their County ASC offices by
October 5, the program deadline,
and co had indicated a desire to
sign up more wheat acreage when
and if additional funds could be
allocated to individual counties.
Some of these farmers could not
originally sign up all the acreage
they desire, either because the mi
tial county ALLEGATION of program
funds was exhausted or because
they wished to sign up acreage
beyond the preliminary limit of
so percent of their farm wheat
allotments.
