Social Security Tax
Rates UNCHANGED

Social Security tax rates for
olo-age benefits are still three
per cent, J.. L. Enoch, District
Director of Internal revenue to-
cay reminded Jackson District
employers.
Mr.. Enochs said he was issuing
this reminder in response to a
large number of calls he has re-
ceived about an insert males
with the Employers Quarterly
Federal Tax Return, Form GAL.
"The insert called attention to
an increase in the Federal I'm
Employment Tax from three per
cent to 81 per cent applicable
to wages paid on and after jan
uary l, 1851" Mr.. Enochs said.
He explained that this parti-
cular tax (FUTA) is paid entire
" by the employer and reported
to IRIS on Form $40, Employers
Annual Federal Unemployment
Tax Return. Employers of four
or more individuals on at least
one day of each of 20 weeks are
those liabale for this tax.
Mr.. Enochs said the social
security tax remains the same,
three per cent withheld from the
wages, and three per
cent paid fof. the employer, or q
total of six per cent. These rates

NEXT TWO MONTHS BEST
FOR PLANTING SEEDLINGS

Many foresters believe that
the remaining portion of the
planting season February to mid
March offers the best conditions
for tree planting. Recent rain
fall has built I'D an ample sup
ply of soil moisture which is so
vital in tree planting. Now is the
time to use foresight and plan
for the future by planting trees
to be available when the de-
mand for timber is expected to
be high. Already. there are
several wood-using industries
making plans to locate in Mis-
sissippi.

Mississippi Now
Produces Top Bulls

For the first time in the history
of the cattle business, Mississippi
cattlemen can buy enough good
beef bulls, properly grown out,
from other producers in the state.
according to E E. Grissom, lead
er in animal husbandry of the
Agricultural Extension Service.
Until now, many had to look
for bulls out Of the state.
See the local county agent for
q list of many of the available
bulls. A number of good bulls
around two years old are still
n the hands of the producers.
Prices to date have been rea-
sonable for the purchasers, Mr.
Grissom pointed out. Many have
sold as bargains.
Prices may work up some as
spring approaches, but you can
not afford to overlook this phase
of your program" the animal
husbandman said.
AS q general guide, the price
seems reasonable when a good
bull can be bought for the price
of four weanling calves.
Most good cattlemen try to
have a uniform crop of calves
9ronped either in the fall or
spring. Regardless of the season
preferred( plans for bulls mus
be made soon if this has not been
lone.
"If your average calves aren't
better than their dams and your
bulls better than your calves,
is time. to start looking for bet
Ter bulls. The bull is the mos
important single animal in the
herd" Mr.. Grissom stated.
EQUALITY and calf crop per-
centage are the two most press
ing problems with most Missis-
| sippi cattlemen. ENOUGH good
bulls, properly handled, can do
he most to correct these.
"A top bull can be a good
huy at most any reasonable
price. A sorrv one is poor proper
ty as a gift"

1860 Wool Payments
Apply To Sales
Before April 80

Wool growers were reminded
today that the l960-program pay
ments to be made this summer
will be made only on wool and
unshorn lambs which are mar
keted before March 81, 1861.
That is the closing date for the
1860 program.
Mr.. Lynn Jordan, Chairman of
the Holmes Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation County
Committee also pointed out that
applications for such payments
under the 1860 wool program
must be filed before the end of
April 1861.
He emphasized that adequate
records on the sales must sup
port the information on the pay
ment applications. For instance,
producers sales records for
shorn wool should show name
and address of buyer, date of
sale, name and address of pro-
Queer, net weight of wool sold,
and net proceeds to producers
after normal marketing deduc-
tons.
Payments to producers for the
1860 marketing year will follow
the same methods employed for
the 1859 year. Shorn wool pay
ments will be equal to a percen-
'ag to be announced later
this year - will be that required
to raise the national average
price received bv all producers
for shorn wool during the mar
keting year up to the inventive
price of 81 cents per pound.
Lamb payments will be made
TO each producer who sells lambs
that have never been shorn. The
payments will be at a rate per
hundredweight of live animals
marketed to COMPENSATE for the
wool on them on a basis compar-
7ble to the incentive rayment
nov mound of chorn wool.
Under the 1890 wool program.
growers in Holmes Cour+v lqst
wear received total of $325 90 in
'ncentiva navmentS earned under

There are two basic CHARGES

Farm Labor Letter
Release Or Lose Cotton Acres

Release Or Lose Cotton Acres
Either plant your allotted cot
ton acreage or release it for use
by others, or lose part of your
farm history and county history
or future allotments.
It is that simple, although
there are minor variances in the
application of the rule. A farmer
who does not wish to plant his
full allotment in 1861 may re-
lease any portion of it, and still
preserve his status for the fu-
ture.
All local offices of this Agency
are requested to determine, for
individual farm data, Cd origi-
nal 1861 allotment, (2) planting
intentions, CD acreage to be re-
leased or (4) additional acreage
requested.
These data are essential to

SOYBEAN INCREASINGLY
IMPORTANT

A bright spot in Mississippi's
agricultural picture is the in
creasing importance of the soy
bean crop which has jumped
from 903.GG9 acres harvested in
1859 to about 921,0 00 acres dur
ing the year just ended. 1960's
near record yield was approx
mately 20,262 900 bushels. The
demand for soybeans has been
increasing right along with the
size of the crop. Various factors
combine to paint a bright pic
ture for soybeans. Mississipp's
near-record 1860 crop is an en-
couraging aspect.
