1856 Crop Storage
Wheat May Be
Resealed if Eligible

Wheat of the 1856 crop nov
in farm storage under govern
ment price support may be re-
sealed for an additional year il
it meets eligibility requirements
Chairman Arthur Anderson OF
the Richland County Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
committee, said this week.
Under the program for re-
sealing 1956-crop wheat, farmers
will be offered an opportunity to
extend their farm storage loans
for another year following the
March 81, 1857, maturity date
and to convert purchase agree
ments on 1956-crop wheat to
reSeal loans. Those producers who
hold wheat for the full reseal
period which will be until March
81, 1858, will earn storage pay
ments of Is cents per bushel.
If a farmer redeems his loan
prior to the March 1858 maturity
date. he will pay interest on the
loan from the date of disburse-
ment and will receive credit for
the storage payment he has earn
ed on a pro rata basis.
The chairman pointed out that
wheat will be eligible for reseal
only if it meets the storage re-
which apply to the
original loan. 1t must also meet
requirements relative
o contamination by birds, TO-
insects and other vermin.
rhe final date for completing re-
cal will be May 81, 1857. Pro-
ULCERS are cautioned that they
must allow some time between
heir request and the final date
n which the county committee
inspect the wheat and take
lecesSary samples.
Information regarding the re-
cal program and applications for
eseal loans may be obtained at
ne County ASC office.

S. S. Agent
Will Be At NYA
April 10

with spring and an increase in
farming activity approaching, far
mers who expect to hire help
should familiarize themselves with
the changes in the Social Security
Act which affect agricultural en-
ployees," Chester v. Buchanan,
representative of the Billings So
cial Security office said today.
Effective January /, 1857, both
the tax rate and the test to deter
mine which of a farmers employ
ees are covered by social security
were changed" Buchanan said.
An employee to whom a farmer
pays $50 cash wages in 1887 or
who works for the farmer on any
part of 20 or more days for pay
figured on a time basis rather than
a piece rate basis Is covered by
social security. The farmer in such
a case should withhold two and
one-fourth percent of the cash
wages paid to the employee. This
is the employees share Of the four
and one-haf percent tax due on
the covered wages.
The farmer should make a rec
ord of the name and social security
number of any employee who will
possibly be hired long enough to
meet either the $50 cash pay test
the z0-day work test
Chester v. Buchanan, represen-
of the Social Security Ad-
.inistration, will be in Sidney at
the NYA building on Wednesday,
April 10, 1857, from 200 am. to

Clergy1nen Social
Security Tax
Deadline April Is

Clergymen who want social Sc
curly protection, but who have
not filed waivers of their social
security tax exemption, should
file the waivers by April IS
1857, it was announced by Glenn
A. Gardner, manager of the So
cial Security Administrations dis
trice office. After April Is
some of the clergymen who have
not filed waivers will be unable
10 come under social security.
Iy fling waivers last year
many ministers, members of re-
ligious orders, and Christian Sci
ence practitioners elected to have
their earnings in 1855 and suisse
quent years count toward old
age, survivors, and disability in
surance. Those waivers remain in
effect and need not be removed.
Other clergymen who have not
yet elected to be covered should
file waivers by April is if they
wish to have their earnings in
1856 and subsequent years count
toward social security. The cleo
ton is made by filing Form 2031
with the District Director of In
ternal Revenue. Form 2031 may
be obtained from the District
Director or from any Social Sc
Administration office.
After April Is, 1857, a clergy
man who has not filed a waiver
is barred by law from electing
security coverage if in
each Of the years 1855 and 1856
he received $500 or more net
earnings from self-employment,
including any salary, fees, or
nonoraria as a minister, member
If a religious order, or Christian
Science practitioner.
A clergyman who elects social
security coverage pays his tax
as a self-employed person, Gard
her added. His church is not Ii
able for the tax.

This is necessary, Mr.. Ander-
son explained, since the County

issued for those conservation
practices on which work will be-
gin soon. The approvals will state
in dollars and cents the exact
amount of Federal cost-sharing
for the conservation work ap-
proved.
Requests for cost-sharing on
practices which will not be start
ed in the next few months will
be considered by the committee
but approvals will not be issued
until the beginning Of a later
practice approval period. Howev-
er, as soon as a practice is ap-
proved, funds to cover the cost
sharing are set aside. and not

State Livestock
Producers Lose
Million n'56

ST. PAUL, MINI. - Montana
livestock producers last about 81
million dollars last year, or about
$1,000 per livestock farm or ranch
because of disease, parasites and
marketing injuries.
This fact, based on USDA esti-
mates, was brought out recently at
the Northwest Region; Livestock
Conservation Inc, annual meeting,
held in South st. Paul, Minnesota.
The northwest region includes
Montana.
Specializing on the future, in his
annual report to members, D. P.
Mossberg, Regional Manager, pre-
dicted a continued trend toward
specialization and a sterilization
of livestock production and price
with price being stabilized at a
relatively low level. This" he
said,' will make the earnings pos
sible through disease and parasite
control and improved marketing
immensely more important to the
producer than they are now"
The beauty of earning an extra
$1,000 per year through good ami
NAL husbandry is that there are no
sign ups, referendums, allotments,
controls or politics involved" he
said.
Harold Macy, Dean of the In
stitute of Agriculture, University
Of Minnesota, speaking at the same
meeting, put a premium on eff
cheney for the successful livestock
producer of the future. "If he is to
survive, he must not only produce
efficiently but he must produce a
quality product and market with
care to prevent the produce from
discounted"
Livestock Conservation Inc, is
non-profit corporation organized,
financed and directed by the live
stock industry to sponsor and en-
courage programs designed to re-
luce livestock losses. Its avowed

Each week Susan's parents
bring her to Great Falls where
she is seen by the speech and
physical therapists and where
she participates in the ~preschool

The encephalitis left Susan with
spastic muscles which pull her
jaw so far that the jaw jumps
from its facets and locks, staying
that way until the muscles relax.
The speech therapist, by moving
her jaw within a range of mo-
ton that will not excite the spas
tic muscles, is building up tonus
in the stretched muscles and Su-
san is learning a lesser range of
motion which she will be able
to control.
Susan must want to speak,
however, if she is to learn to
talk. At the Easter Seal Center,
she is being given sensory training
SO that she can see, hear, smell
and feel the things that are a
part of her life. Susan hears the
name of the object when she is
playing with it or viewing it,
thus building a memory hearing
vocabulary which will be ready
for her when she can control the
muscles necessary to say the
words.

Susan to properly use her tongue

Through artificial respira-
ton and other means, she is
learning to breathe in such a
manner that speech is possible.
Susan is responding well to the

without assistance. Her gait and
general physical condition are
