become 3I4 percent of net earn
ings up to $4,000 in a year.
Mr.. Pate said that many people
who could not qualify for benefits
before could do so now. These
include:
/. Dependents of disabled work
ers who are getting monthly dis
ability benefits because they are
too disabled for further substantial
gainful work. These payments
can be made to his dependents
just like the payments made to old
age insurance beneficiaries.
2. The amended law also makes
it easier for people whose disabili-
ties develop gradually to qualify
for either cash disability benefits
or the disability freeze. This is
brought about through a change in
the work requirements. 1t is no
longer necessary that the worker
have at least ~ years of social
security credit out Of the years
before he became disabled. The
standards for determining disa-
bility remain the same. A person
must still be unable to perform
substantial, gainful work and have
worked for at least years in a
job covered by social security.
8. Aged parents who were de-
pendent on the worker can now
get payments even if the worker
was survived by child or widow
who is entitled to benefits.
Social security in the past has
been program for city people, Mr..
Pate said. Since 1850 it has been
extended to cover farm people and
now affects them the same way it
affects all other people.
The ever growing interdepend-
ence of farm and city as a result
of the machine age has created
need to bring about better under
standing of our farm economy by
urban people and of town and city
problems by rural people. "Our
social insurance program is an i'm
portant part of that economy. That
interdependence was a factor in
the extension of old-age, survivors
and disability insurance to farm
people, and it is the reason why
the Social Security Administration
is intellectually cooperating in
the observance of National Farm
City Week." Mr.. Pate declared.
"The Social Security Amend
ments of 1858 modified the work
requirements for both cash dis
ability benefits and the disability
Freeze" John F. Pate, manager Of
the Jackson, Mississippi social Sc
curity office said today. He point
ed out this modification will make
it easier now for people, whose dis
abilities have gradual onset, to
qualify.
Under the new law, a worker is
no longer required to have LIZ
years of coverage out of the 3
years Immediately preceding the
onset of his disability. A person
can now qualify for either the dis

CHANGES IN YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Changes that will affect almost
every farm and city person have
recently been made in the old-age
and survivors insurance program,
Mr.. John F. Pate, manager of the
Jackson social security office said
today.
He took this opportunity during
Farm City Week to say that these
changes affect the American public
as a whole. Working persons -
employed and self-employed, farm
ers and city people-need to know
about them; their families need to
know about them.
The most important changes in
the law were designed to strength
en- the Federal social insurance
system which offers some protec-
ton against less of earned income
due to the retimerent, death, or
total disability of the worker.
Most important, Mr.. Pate said,
is the increase in benefit amounts
because these increases affect prac-
tically all working people and their
families. This applies to people now
getting benefit payments and to
those who will get benefits in the
future. Monthly benefit checks
to workers who retired at age IS
or later will be increased automat-
ically by at least $500. The maxi
mum monthly payment a family
may receive is increased from $500
to 1854 a month. Families now
receiving maximum monthly-bene-
fits under the law will receive in
creases from $500 to S54 depend
ing upon the deceased workers av-
erage monthly earnings.
Mr.. Pate pointed out that the
larger amount will show up in
beenfit checks that go in the mails
early in February.
Beginning with 1859, earnings
up to $4,000 will be creditable and
taxable for social security purposes
and social security taxes will be
increased. A person who worked in
a business or on a farm will have
21a percent take nout of his pay
instead of the present 2 la per-
cent; his employer will contribute
21a percent taken out of his pay
ment social security tax will be
increased 3i8 of l percent and will

Some of the schools are not
fully accredited. They are striv-
ing for accreditation by 1860 but
need more adequate facilities and
faculties.
"There is an extremely vital role
for the Negro colleges in the South
to play in this time of transition"
says the commission report. "They
will continue to educate persons
who will accept leadership respon-
sibilities in church and society. In
addition, they will help to keep
open the channels of communica-

placing tension and strife with
understanding and goodwill"

state colleges specifically for Ne

though some southern universities
admit a few Negroes, every ade-

RECORD GRAIN
 PAINTINGS REPORTED

Judging from the amount of seed sold in Alaska, as we'll as planting reports, more oats and barley have been planted this year in the Territory than ever before, according to C. Ivan Branton of the Alaska Agricul- ture Expe riment Station. Bigger plantings have been encouraged, he added, by the Matanuska Val ley Farmers Cooperating Asso- citation dryer and elevator, and their promotion of local mixed feeds.
 Grain growers must now plan for drying and storage of their crop next fall, he pointed out The Co-Op storage was filled al- most to capacity last year and : obviously cannot take care of much additional acreage The dryer associated with the eleva- tor, however, can dry as much as l500 bushels per 24-hour day. Growers can therefore take their grain to the dryer, have 1t dried and take 1t back to the farm for storage
 An important fact to keep in mind x that freshly combined grain will not keep without heat ing, Branton pointed out A farm CT gambling on its being dry enough to store is almost certain to lose.
 Many farms have covered buildings where grain can De stored in sacks after artificial dry ing. This method of storage also has a potential danger because mice can cause the loss of a high percentage unless some method of protection is used.
 1t IS recommended that grow CTS make plan now for the dis position of their grain so they will not be caught unprepareo at harvest time. The Matanusks Valley Farmers Cooperating As- sociation has announced that they are ordering several thousand bushel metal grain bins which ! will be available by harvest time
