Sheep Producers Council. 1t is
financed by deductions from
wool incentive payments earn
ed by growers under the ma
tional wool program.
The agreement has been in
effect since the 1855 marketing
year and, if approved in the
September referendum, will be
continued for ano ther three
years, Dopkins said. Approval
requires the favorable vote of
producers having two-thirds of
the volume of production re-
presented in the referendum.
The new agreement would
provide that deduction may not
exceed the rates, of one cent
per pound for shorn wool and
five cents per hundredweight

Internal Revenue
Begins Checking
On Grew Leaders

Beginning with 1859 every
farmer who has work done by
a farm labor crew is required
by Internal Revenue Service
regulations to keep record OF
the name, permanent address,
and the employers identifica-
tion number of each crew lead.
er who furnishes him workers
for farm work.
This information was passed
on to farmers by William Da-
Wis, Agent, Internal Revenue
Service, Dover, and Edward F.
Sullivan, manager of the Dover
Social Security Office.
The crew leaders referred to
in the regulation are those who
are employers of the members
of the crew.
The crew leader is the en-
ployer of the members of the
crew if O he furnishes them
to the farmer and pays them
and (2) there is no written a.
greement with the farm oper-
ator providing that the crew
leader himself is an employee
of the farmer.
If the farmer has written
agreement with the crew lead
er showing that the crew leader
is his employee, the farmer is
not required to keep a record
of the crew leaders, address,
but in this case the farmer must
make regular social security re-
ports and pay taxes on the
wages paid to the crew leader
and to the members of the crew.
The new requirement is con-
tanned in the Agricultural En-
ployer's Social Security Tax
Guide for 1859 Circular Az. Ad-
ditional information and copies
of the Guide may be secured
from any Office of the Internal
Revenue Service or the Social
Security Administration.

Reserve Sisn-Up
.Deadline Is Set

Farmers should bring along
the necessary information when
they file a request for a basic
Conservation Reserve rate at the
County Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion and Conservation office, ac-
cording to R. H. Wilson, chair
man of the Kent County ASC
committee. The deadline for re-
questing that a basic annual
rate per acre be established for
land offered under the 1860 pro-
gram is Sept. 10, although re-
quests may be filed at the Coun-
ty ASC office as early as August
"a.
The county Office has regular
forms to be filled out when
farmers apply for a basic rate.
Information needed to complete
the form includes a description
of the acreage for which the
basic rate is requested and the
crop production history of the
land. For each field, details will
be needed as to the kind of crop
per acre for the 5-year period
1855 through 1859.
After the basic rate for a farm
is established, the farmer will
have an opportunity to file an

Sheepmen Ready
September Vote

Sheep producers will have an
opportunity to vote in Septem-
Der on a nationwide referen-
dunn on the question of con-
tinuing to finance a market de-
velopment program for wool and
lambs, according to Mr.. William
H. Hopkins of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee.
The program of advertising,
promotion, and related activit-
les, is carried out under an
agreement with the American
Smyrna times., 1959-08-27

for lambs, that have been IN
effect under the original agree
ment.
The referendum will extend
over the entire month of Sep
tember to make it as easy as
possible for all growers to par
ticipate. Ballots will be mailed
to producers from the county
ASC offices before September
| and may be voted and re-
turned through September 80.
The referendum relates only
to the wool and lamb market
development program. 1t will
not affect the continuation OF
the payment program under the
three-year extension of the wool
act last summer.

Gently suffered internal dissen-
sion which has seen a dissident
group break away and form a
new union Of It's own.
This may change the NFPOC
stand. but only time will tell II
this Is true.
Mr.. Doherty feels that II
most postal employe groups ia
yor the merger-and he Is con-
fident that this is so-then the
few groups holding out more
or less would be forced to join
for their own protection and
self-preservation. I.
One thorny problem would
remain. II the NFPOc refused
to join the proposed merger,
than the merged organization
could not very well take in
postal clerks from other Or
CARNATIONS. This is because the
NFPOC has jurisdiction in the
AFL-CIO over all postal clerks
and any merged postal union
in the AFL-CIO could not
touch these clerks If the
NFPOC protested.
However. Mr.. Doherty feels
that these problems can be
solved II the will to merge Is
present among the majority OF
postal unions. Mr.. Doherty dis
claims any personal ambition
to be leader Of the merged un-
ion, but his talents. and drive
personality are such that most
observers feel that he would
be almost certain to head such
a group.
CLASSIFIED WORKERS
The implications Of this pro-
posed merger are tremendous
for all Government workers.
Should 1t materiaiize. the next
step probably would be to in
clude classified and blue collar
Federal employees into the or
ganization, which would then
become one big Federal EN-
ploye union composed Of all
types Of Government workers
postal, classified and blue col
lar.
There are at least several
Federal and postal employe
unions whose memberships
have always been opposed to
affiliation with the AFL-CIO.
These groups probably would
not agree to a merger on any
terms.
But Mr.. Doherty feels that
they would do so at their own
risk. The tremendous power
welded by q merged postal and
Tor Government employee union,
both, in terms of membership
and political power. would
dwarf the importance and ef-
fectiyeness Of any groups that
still remained outside the fold,
he feels.

But Mr.. Doherty feels thai
this power would be even much
greater If all the present postal
groups were united.
Not only would the concen-
trated political power Of the
combined postal groups b.
more effective. but the pooling
Iof financial resources and the
lending Of duplicate function;
so that the funds could be useo
for more advantageous purposes
would be some Of the great ad-
vantages Of q merger. Mr.. Do.
herty believes.
PROBLEMS - There natur.

At present there are 81,
postal unions afiiliated with the

Although the unaffiliatec
