QUESTION AND ANSWER
BOX-What is an ASA ex-
posture index number? The
American Standards Associa-
ton (ASA) has a system for
rating the speed of film all
over the world in cooperation
with the International Stand
ards Organization. This rat
ing method fully prescribes q
standardized light-measuring
procedure. Basis for the rating
is the minimum safe film ex-
posture which will yield a final
print Of excellent quality.
Is 1t safe to point an ex-
posture meter at the sun? Yes
and no. If a special effect is
desired and you are familiar
with the operation of an ex-
posure meter. go ahead. How
ever, it is not recommended
because a meter pointed to-
ward the sun invariably will
receive far more light than
is actually reflected from the
photo subject into the camera
lens. Thus too short an ex-
posture viii be indicated.
What does the incident light
method of metering exposure
do for a camera fan? The in
cident light method can be
used with a photo exposure
meter when taking indoor pic
lures with comparatively low
illumination. The meter is
held near the subject and
pointed generally toward the
light source. making possible
the measurement of much
lower levels of illumination.
Instruction books furnished
with meters usually explain
in detail how incident light
measurements can no tokay

While wandering through
the Armory at the recent
1PEx show. we couldn't help
but wonder how Daguerre.
Talbot. jackson. Brady and
other pioneers in photography
would have reacted to the
wonders of modern photo
graphic world if suddenly re-
tuISled from the shades of the
pask.
Men who considered expo
surks lasting for as much as
20 10 80 minutes as common
place would undoubtedly have
been amazed at some Of the
latest advances in the art. For
instance. there was the PEN
light hattery-operated electric
motor drive, introduced by
Nixon, for rapid sequence 35-
nm. photography. With this
device, Nikon's S2E camera
can be used to take any spe-
ciflc number Of consecutive
shots or all SO exposures can
be loosed at once.
Talbot, who first stopped
motion with the spark of a
Leyden jar, would have been
amazed at the new six-bulb
rotary flash unit developed by
the Eastman Co. With this
gadget you can shoot six sue
cessive flash pictures as fast
as you can wind the film in
the camera. The six flashbulbs
come packaged in rotary plas-
tic discs with the unit ready
for quick replacement. Two
models of the rotary flash
holder are available to At most
any modern flash camera.
OF course, the old-timers
would have been stopped in
their tracks by virtually any
of the new products that were
being shown and displayed at
1PEX. Even we, Injured as we
are to every facet of photog-
raphy, were stopped time and
again by the ingenious devel-
opments that have taken place
in photography in just one
year. We hope that IPEX will
some day return to Washing
ton with another display OF
mans talent in the field OF
photography.

Stennis Renews Fight
For Cotton Acreage

A bill which would prevent the
national cotton acreage allotment
from going below 17.3 million
acres has been introduced by Sen
ator Stennis. The bill would make
permanent the Stennis amend
ments enacted last year prevent
ing further reduction in the ma
tional allotment, minimizing loss
of cotton resulting from shifts in
acreage history to Western states
and assuring each cotton farmer
the smaller of four acres or the
highest planted in the three pre-
vious years. The present law only
carries these provisions for 1857
and 1858.
II am convinced that the sharp
production in cotton acreage is the
most serious problem facing our
farmers Senator Stennis said.

Information On
Social Security
BY Luther N. Davis

DO you 1g<t Social Security cred
it for your income from land you
rent to someone else for farming?
It depends on the rental agree
ment and on how much you par
ticipate in the operation and man
agement of the farm. toa1
Under some circumstances your
income from the land may be
rental income" and not covered
by the law; under other circum7
stances your earnings will be con-.
sidered earnings" as a farmer
If you simply rent the land in
return for cash or a share of the
crops or livestock, and you take
no part in the production or man
agement of the production OF, the
crops or livestock, then the cash
or crop share you receive is rent
al income and it does not count
toward Social Security.
But for taxable years ending
after 1855, you can get Social Sc
curly credit for your income from
land you rent to someone else I'M
der an agreement that you will
materially participate" in the
management or production of the
farm. sss" 4sI' ,' taSf
Even if you don't actually do
any physical work, you may be
materially participating in the
production or management of pro-
duction if you advise and consult
regularly with the person who
rents the land, inspect the produc-
ton regularly, furnish part or all
of the equipment or livestock, or
pay part of the expenses of pro-
duction.
1t is not necessary that you do
everything listed above to qualify:
in some cases it is sufficient if
| you have an arrangement to par
ticipate in the farming and you
actually perform some of these
activities.
