Farmer With $4OO
Wages Must File

Every farmer with net earn
ings of $400 or more is requir-
ed to file a Federal income tax
return and report his earnings
for social security credit even
if no income tax is due, Lister
". Hall, Jr., office manager of
the Kent Agricultural StabiliZa-
tion and Conservation County
Office, in Dover, said today in
reminder issued in cooperation
with the Social Security Admin
istration.
Self-employed farmers may
report their earnings and pay
the social security tax if their
gross income from farming is as
much as $500 in year. Benefit
payments to the farmer and his
family are figured from the
amount of earnings he reports.
If he fails to report incorrectly,
the amount of monthly benefit
payments may be affected later
on.

New AutOmOtive
Project Unveiled
For Kent 4-H'ers

Keeping up with the times is
an important part of All work,
and the new automotive pro-
ject now available does just
that. The new project is being
tested this year and will be linn
tied to ten fifteen-year-olds in
Kent county.
The project will cover care
and safety of the automobiles.
County All agent Marion
Macdonald says the first unit
is the car and the highway; the
second, maintenance and opera
ton; and the third, operating
the car efficiently.
The main purpose of the pro
ject is to help young people be-
come conscious of the import
ance, value and sound use oi
the motor vehicle, and to accept
the responsibility of driving.
This pilot project is being
conducted in only a few coun
ties in a few states, but the i'm

Fence Posts Life
Extended 20 Yrs,

Fence posts last 1920 years
if treated with pentachlorophen
oil, County Agent George Vapaa
reported. But you should only
treat posts that take treatment
well. Pine from your own wood
lot make ideal posts, he said.
"Penta or creosote are good
materials for the job, but it must
penetrate one-half inch or more
to be effective" he said. Apply.
ing preservative with a brush is
a waste of time and money.
MIR. Vapaa advises this three
step treatment:
l. Remove all bark.
2. Let the posts dry out com
pletely before treating.
3. Immerse them full length
in the preservative for 24-4S
hours.
Several species resist decay
and do not need treatment
Those include black locust
white oak, Usage orange, anc
red cedar.
Pine takes treatment best
Other woods that respond wei
to treatment are sweet gum, rec
oak, black oak, and hickory.
Lumber yards usually carry
pressure-treated posts. These

ment for permanent fences.

Domestic airline fares will
go up 21a per cent, plus a
81 surcharge for each one-way
ticket, starting July /.
The Civil Aeronautics Board,
in granting the increases yes
terday, said they should give
airlines about $84 million a
year in additional revenue.
The IL trunk airlines had
asked for increases of 51a to
IL per cent.
The $1-per-ticket surcharge
and present surcharges for Jet
flights are expected to expire
next year, the CAB said. The
212 per cent increase, however,
will remain in effect indefi-
.nitely.
The board said it granted
the increases on the basis of
standards announced April 20.
These include an earnings
standard of 101a per cent re-
turn on investment which the
CAB said the industry should
be allowed over an extended
period.

Pilots Face
Suspension,
FAA Warns
BY the Associated Press

Airline jet pilots will be sus-
pended on their first refusal to
fly with a Government inspec-
tor aboard, the Federal Avia-
tion Agency warns.
Furthermore, FAA said, the
suspension will apply not only
to the pilot in command but TO
all three pilots on those jets
having that size crew.
The new notice to all pilots
of jet transports-the Boeing
TOT, Douglas DC-8 and Convair
880-tightened earlier regula-
tionS.
Elwood r. Quesada, FAA ad-
ministrator, said last week that
the pilot in command of a jet
transport would be suspended
upon his second refusal to ny
with an inspector, when ne
would be presumed to have
established a pattern of t.ee-
ance Of the Government inSpec-
ton process.
Pilots of Eastern Air Lines
shut down that company's Jet
operations last wek by refusing
to fly for various reasons.
The pilots earlier had said
that they would not fly with
an FAA inspector in the seat
behind the pilot in command
because they believe that seat
must be occupied by the thirc
pilot for safe operations.
Pilots of American, Par
American and Trans WorlC
AirlineS had planned to take
similar action June Is, but were
prevented from doing so by
