A fiscal policy based on

which can be artifically increas-

earnings do not exceed $50 in
wages or they do not render sub
stantial services in self-employ-
ment.
The social security retirement
test is a yearly test, until earn
ings reach $1,000 in the year.
That is, any beneficiary is per
mitted to earn up to $1,000 in a
year without suspension of any
benefits. When earnings exceed
$1,000 in the year, consideration
must then be given to the num-
ber of months worked in the
year, and the amounts earned in
each month.
The retirement test may be
summarized as follows:
/. Earnings of $1,000 or less
in a year cause no suspension of
benefits.
2. Earnings between $1,000 and
$1,000 in a year cause the Sus-
pension of some but not all,
benefits if earnings exceeds $50
in all months of the year.
3. Regardless of the total earn
ings for the year, a benefit may
still be paid for any month in
which no work is performed in
seIf-employment or in which
earnings in wages do not exceed
$50.
Be sure that you know your
rights Plan for your retirement
and don't lose benefits.

you, as it did US.
Farming, hints the Bureau, like
the old grey mare, ~aint what she
used to be-" And what is more,
the changes in the next so years
may be even more surprising than
in the years since Just before
World War /.
The results of the survey
amazed even veteran Agriculture
Department officials. Secretary
Benson called events of the past
half century IAN agricultural ex-
plosion." More staid Bureau Of
ficials called it an "agrarian revolu-
ton"
Whatever you may call it one
thing seems certain. Farming is
undergoing the pains of change
which, a century ago, transformed
industry from small shops to huge
factories. Farmers are caught in
the midst of another changing
period in history.
Census Bureau studies reveal
that there are many thousands of
displaced" farm families and mil
lions of refugees" who have been
forced to fee farms for unfamiliar
jobs in cities in the past 20 years
for economic reasons.
Between April, 1856, and last
April nearly 100000 farm people
moved to towns and cities. The
net II months decline in farm
population was reported as 1861
600. That means out of every 100
farmers left the land in just one
year.
There are more than two mil
lion fewer farms-One- third fewer
than in 1885, and there are
twelve million fewer people living
on farms. Despite this wholesale
away from farms, farm
acreage mas remained steady and
production has increased by al
most 500.
twenty-five years ago, accord
ing to the Census Bureau, more
than one-fourth Of all Americans
were farmers. Today that percen-
tage is 119. Although our total
population has quadrupled in less
than 100 years there are fewer
people living on farms than at
start of the Civil War.
The amazing and seemingly con-
Trajectory fact is that during the
past 25 years more people have
moved from cities to the country
than from the country to the
cities They live i'm rural and sub
urban areas, but work in cities.
The rural population now is
estimated by Census as slightly
more than 90G00,000 -- approxi-
mately one-half of our national
total. But only 100000 900 of those
live on farms, and only about half
Of that number are full-time
farmers.
The Agriculture Department
adds that some 100000 farnf
people-One out of every g.
worked 100 or more days on off,
farm jobs last year for which
they were paid SGT billion.
That, curiOusly enough, is equal
to more than half of the net in
come of all farmers from the
sale Of farm produce. Those who
stuck strictly to farming for their
income had an income averaging
Toe an hour for their work.
The fact that this is well under
half of the average city wage
accounts for a major portion of
the tarm-to-city movement. An
other reason is the fact that many
farmers are reaching 65 years Of
age and applying for Social Sc
Curity payments.
The farm -to-city trend may not
keep up at the rate reported by
Census, but so long as higher-pay-
ing jobs are available in cities the
movement is likely to continue.
Officials think farm population
likely will level off at about 10
OF the national total somewhere
around 1875.

Q.--I am CT years old and was
retired June 80 this year after
81 years on the same job. | earn
cd $4,000 this year, and haven't
worked since June and do not
expect to work again. My friends
tell me that | cannot get any
benefits for 1857 since | earned
over $1,000. Is this true?
A.-No. The law provides that
in a calendar year one months
benefit must be withheld for
each $50 or fraction thereof by
which your earnings for that
year are more than $1,000. The
law further provides, however,
that a benefit check will not be
withheld for any month in
which you did not earn more
than $50 in wages and were not
actively engaged as a seld-em-
ployed person. Accordingly you
would be entitled to monthly
benefits beginning with the
month of July. We suggest you
file an application at your social
security office without delay.
