Social Security
Office Joins The
Farm-city Parade

The Columbus social security
Office, together with 557 other dis
trict offices of the Social Security
Administration, is cooperating with
farm and business industries in the
nationwide observance of Farm
City Week, c. c. Darby, district
manager, announced today.
Since the objective of National
tarm-City Week November o.
Zo), is to stress the interrelation
OF rural and urban peoples, Darby
said that the Social Security Ad-
mlnistration will emphasize the
oneness" of its old-age, survivors.
and disability program. By partici-
pating in the observance of Ma
ton Farm-City Week, he recogniz-
es an opportunity for his office to
correct some of the niisunder-
standing on the part of both the
farmer and the city dweller about
the purpose of social security in
Surance.
Some people do not fully un-
derstand that the social security
program is the same for the farm
er and for the city person." Darby
said. Many farmers still think
that old-age, survivors, and dis
ability insurance for them and
their families is a distinct and SEN
arate program from. the social Sc
curity program for city folks.
Some believe erroneously, that

Reconditioning the farm though
was another matter. 1t was neither
as quick nor at first as rewarding.
Soil tests, provided by the exten-
ton office, showed that our soil
was completely worn out and that
it lacked nitrogen, phosphorus, po-
tassium and planted nitrogen crops,
chiefly alfalfa, which was then
plowed under The Consevationist
worked out, with the cooperation
of my father, a rotation plan that
would do What it should, when il
should; rest the land, provide flu-
TRENT elements needed, and still
bring in money.
Our land is part of the 800 OF
Madison County that needs drain
age. We found our most effective
plan was to build diagonal water
ways across many fields. They
opened into an open ditch which
was already there. We seeded the
waterways and graded the open
ditch to prevent erosion. Now the
creek isn't filled with soil every
spring and fall, proof that our
drainage system is effective.
There always had been a small
wooded area on the farm but it had
never been fenced and had just
been used as open grazing for ami
mails, including sheep. The result
was a woods completely devoid OF
underground and with partly dam
aged trees. Sheep and, cows had
taken their toll and even some oi
the larger trees suffered from par
tally destroyed bark. Now the
area has been fenced and thick
luxurious underground is present
The trees are healthy and we hope
to have a regular crop" of trees
soon.
So you see, our farm is a success
story, just as America is success
story. But what made the story
complete and turned defeat into
victory? The same thing that made
America great and that at present
is Americas greatest need-people

they just have to apply at their
social security district office for
farmers benefits and then go
right on with their farming activi-
ties" he declared.
AS possible reason for this mis-
understanding, Darby pointed out
that the social security law does
contain a few special provisions
for farmers in recognition of the
fact that farming differs in many
ways from the operation of other
business enterprises. These pro-
visions relate to the way self-em-
ployed farmers are permitted to
figure their net earnings for social
security tax reporting purposes if
their gross farm income is not
more than $500 and their net is
less than 81 200; also, the manner
in which farm rental income re-
ceived from tenant or share
farmer can count for social secur-
ity credit if the farm landlord ma
terially participates" in the opera
tion on the land he rents out.
These special provisions for the
farm operators. however, have no.
thing to do with the type of social
security benefits payable or work
eligibility for benefits. Emphasiz-
ing that there are no special "far-
mers' benefits" Darby said that
farmers and their families qualify
for these Federal insurance pay
ments based on farmers work
under social security just like mil
lions of city workers who are en-
ployed or self-employed in offices,
factories, mercantile enterprises or
covered professions in urban areas.
"Old-age, survivors, and disability
insurance is not a farm subsidy"
he declared.
Darby pointed out that farm
er's right to continue to receive
old-age insurance benefits after re-
tirement will be governed by the
amount of his earnings and the
time devoted to farm activities
during his years of retirement.
This provision is the same as that
applying to social security bene-
ficiaries who work in cities after
their retirement, he said.
The ever-growing interdepend-
ence of farm and city as result
of the machine age has created a
need to bring about a better un-
derstanding of our farm economy
by urban people and of town and
city problems by rural people.
Our social insurance program is

Big Darby at Amity. The two hun
dred four foot structure was the
one built on a contract-local labor
basis. 1t cost approximately $50, 900
which included tearing out the mar
row, curved and dangerous covered
bridge which served the horse and
buggy area well, but was far from
safe for today's heavy vehicles and
speedy movement.
Actually, one of the major
drawbacks to the old bridge was
the fact that school busses travelled
over it each day, rafting the old
boards and timbers and often hav-
ing to stop at one end and wait
until other traffic cleared the one
lane. The old tirnbers had served
well the purpose which they were
laid to serve, and despite senti-
mental ties they were forced to
give way to progress, and the never
ending drive of the County Engine
er Departments drive to make
safety the first and last word in
every road and every bridge.
Today the people of the Arnity
area, and those travelling that
short cut to Columbus and Hill
liards, have a new strong steel
bridge to serve them. They have a
two lane structure which has no
blind spots and no rafting boards.
Come spring, the approaches will
have settled and the surface can
be restored to match the bridge
and soon the memories of the
old covered bridge will have gone
with those holding the memories
1. replaced by faster moving
generation who were frequently
delayed by the dear to the heart"
bridge of another day.
Sentiment meant little to the
County Engineer. He holds the
safety and welfare of the county
in his hands, and he has pledged
to do all he can to make every
bridge as safe as humanity possible
for the traffic which travels the
areas roads.
incidentally, the bridge program
has not added to the tax burden of
Madison County taxpayers. Plan
ming ahead, and steady program,
properly administered give Madi-
son County Engineer Department
enough money to keep even, with
in the budget, without extra lev
les. Many other counties have
been running short of funds for
several months, according to re-
ports, and their programs show no
more work than has been done in
Madison County within the budget
ed money.
