This group worked closely with
the City Recreational Department,
the schools and with other organ
izations. The first annual grade
school track meet for rural and
town boys was a real success.
Your board of directors approx
ed the years Work Program and
Budget, met regularly, worked
with committees, set policy and
gave guidance to the Chamber as
required by the bylaws. Your
office, truly a community infor-
nation center, handled a huge
volume of detail plus serving as
the clearing house for all Cham
Der activities. Actually, our staff
is too loaded with other activi-
ties that are performed to secure
some additional income. We must
work towards a better financed
Chamber which will solve this
problem.
We have reviewed major items
during the year and wish to en-
phasize there r many other ser
vices performed especially thru
our office. The unselfish efforts
of over 800 members working to-
gether through your Chamber of
Commerce have made these c
complishments possible. My most
grateful thanks to our directors,
the committees, the staff, and to
each of you personally for the
encouragement and fine support
during the past year.
Finally, too, let's have a 1000
turnout at the coming Division
meetings so each of us will
know what an important program
the Chamber has for 1858 and
how each of us can assure its
success.

Richland Support
Application Time
Closes Soon

Richland county, farmers were
reminded this week that they
must act soon if they want to
secure support loans or purchase
agreements on 1~957-crop COM
modities.
Price support is now available
on wheat, barley, oats, rye, flax
seed and dry beans, according to
Chairman Arthur Anderson of the
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee. Pur-
chase agreements are available
on all these commodities. Loans

which r stored either on the
farm or in a warehouse, except
ing that beans must be- ware
house-stored to be eligible.
January 81, 1858, is the final
date for completing loans and
purchase agreements but because
of the time necessary to process a
loan on a farm-stored commodi-
ty, January 18th has been set as
the closing date for accepting
applications for this type of loan,
Mr.. Anderson stated. He explain
ed hat farm-stored grain Of
fered for loan must be inspected
and tested in a State laboratory
before the loan documents can be
completed. The loan may be dis
bursed to the farmer after Jan
uary 81 if all papers are properly
completed and signed by that
date.
Since testing and inspection of
grain stored in warehouses is not
required, loan applications car be
accepted through January 81 but
farmers r urged to apply as
soon as possible to allow ample
time for completing the loan.
Purchases agreement applications
may be accepted through Janu-
airy 81, since no testing or in
spection of this grain is required.
Basic loan rates in Richland
County are: Wheat, $1.91 Aper
bushel for Grade No. / hard red
winter and hard red spring; bar
ley, $.81 cents per bushel for
Grade No. 2 or better; oats, $40

In closing, MI. Anderson again
reminded farmers owning farm
stored commodities that they

members at the end of each year
by booklet, pamphlet or news
paper report. According to re-
firing President Jack Knoop, the
1857 report is herewith presented
through the courtesy of the Sid
ney Herald.
The Sidney Chamber is recog-
nized as among the best operat-
ed in the state, one that carries
out one of the more extensive
work programs, and under a
rather limited budget Its success
can be traced to good member
ship, financial support, a plan
ned program, active workers and
good managership. The members
and prospective members should
read this report and recognize
that the well-rounded program
contains many continuous pro-
jects of great Importance.

stressed again the past year. The
committee projects included the
Goth feeder day, the third town
and country institute, 4-H-FFA
baby beef sale, Eastern Montana

Social Security
Reminders for
Farm Owners

Thousands of farm owners and
operators are preparing to file
their 1857 Federal Income Tax
Returns. At the same time and as
a part of that report, most of
them well be reporting their
earnings from the farm for social
security purposes.
Since old-age and survivors in
surance has become of major i'm
p%ortance to SO many farm people,
the district social security office
wishes to point out the following
facts as reminders:
/. Social security coverage was
first extended to the self-employ-
ed farmer effective January l,
1855. However, a farm owner who
rented out his crops under the
usual share-cropping or cash rent
basis could not include his share
of the crops or rent received I'M
der such an arrangement. This
was true throughout 1855. (The
share-farmer or tenants share of
the crop was subject to the law as
self-employment mooney
2. Beginning with 1856, the law
was modified as to the land-own-
er's share of the crop. The 1856
law provides that his share of
the crop or the proceeds from
the crop will be creditable for
social security purposes provided
his agreement with the renter is
such hat the landowner ma
terially participates in the pro-
duction or management of the
production of the crop. This
means that the landowner must
take part in the farm operation
over and above what he would
normally do to protect his invest
ment. Factors that may indicate
material participation on the
owners part are: actual physical
work; consultation and advice; in
spections of the crops; manage
ment decision; payment of oper-
ating expenses; furnishing of
equipment; etc. (The share-farm-
er or tenants share of the crop
remains covered by the law
3. 1t is most important for all
farmers to keep a copy of the
tax return that is filed with the
District Director of Internal Rev.
enue. both Forms 1040 and
l040F.) If the farmer or a men,
Der Of his family lin case of the
farmers death) is to file for So
cial security benefits, a copy Of
his last tax return will speed up
the processing of the claim.
4. The social security account
number must be included on the
tear-off section at the bottom of
Form 1040F if the farmer is to
receive credit for his earnings on
his social security accounts.
5. The tax return and self
employment tax are to be filed
with the District Director Of In
ternal Revenue, Helena, Montana.

Library Notes

The Library is open every af-
ternoon and evening except Sun
days and holidays from 2:30 un-
til $50 and from TOO till 600
Many have wondered why we
have so few late books. Please
read carefully: The cash balance
in the library fund as of Deem
Der 81, 1857 was $1482.38 cents
and with $262.84 outstanding
warrants. Since then warrants
have been issued in the amounts
of $172.70 which leaves a cash
balance of $1046.84 to last until
July LIST, 1858.
, With rent until July / amount
ing to $4,000 and salary checks
of $4,000 not to mention gas,
lights and incidentals, there isn't
much left for books.
AS you see, with obligations
approximating 100000 and only
$1046.80 with which to pay, will
someone please tell me how to
buy bookd. Different persons and
organizations have been generous
in contributions but books have
increased about so percent, and
more, In price. All we have to
depend on is a two and
one-half mill tax on the tax
able valuation inside the corpor-
ate limits of Sidney. We need a
great deal of help.

Librarian.
