Social Security
Offers Farmers
New Benefits

At least four changes in the
Social Security law are of in
terest to farmers, says Kent
county agent George Vapaa,
Here's a brief rundown of
changes made during the last
session of Congress:
~. If you become severly
disabled, a change in the law
permits payments at any age if
you have paid Social Security
tax for 5 of the past 10 years
previous to the disability.
(2). A year and a half of
working time under Social Sc
curity is still required before
any benefits can be paid. But
under the new law, most peo-
pie can become insured more
quickly than before. Some old
er people who didn't work long
enough under the old law may
now be eligible for payments.
(3). Parents working for sons
or daughter in their farm busi-
ness are covered by Social Sc
curity after 1860.
(4). The new law now says
that any nonprofit organization
can cover an employee who
wants Social Security. Before,
two-thirds of the employees had
to want coverage.
MIR. Vapaa suggests farmers
check at least every three years
with the local office to see that
their Social Security record is
correct. He also urges farmers
to get in touch with the local
office for more information on
the recent changes.

Blanket bindings are general
ly made of nylon or acetate.
Acetate bindings may be more
lustrous and softer than nylon
ones but nylon bindings will
wear longer.
Be sure the blankets you buy
are large enough to stay firm
ly tucked underneath the mat
tress. A blanket, 72" x co., can
usually be used on either a
twin and double-size bed. Blan-
kets for king-size be d S may

Decisions About
Farm Management
To Be Discussed

What makes a farm success
full? Many factors are involved
of course, but the key one is
ma n 6 m n especially the
man" in management.
Decisions control the success
or failure in farming, accord
ing to w. T. McAllister, exten-
sion farm management special
ist with the University of Del
aware.
What factors should be con-
sidered in making a decision
about farm operation? Several
things, McAllister says; answ-
ers, in detail, will be covered
in a series of farm management
meetings to be held over the
next few weeks at Middletown
High School and the Harrington
Fairgrounds.
Identical programs will be
presented at both places. The
Harrington meetings will be
held from loo to 300 p. M,
February Is, %, and March l..
The Middletown sessions will
begin at 800 p. M, the same
days.
The February Is session will
cover factors influencing farm
business, such as size of busi-
ness, labor, capital. rate of pro-
duction, time and balance of
operation.
If you don't know what all
this means, that's fine, McAll-
lister says, because the meetings
will be informal and open for
plenty of questions and discus
sion.

Is 20 Gain Seen in
Poultry Exports

County Agent George Vapaa
reports that during the first 6
months of 1860, exports of pro-
cessed poultry meat ran about
25 percent above 1859 to the
six European Common Market
Countri es-Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and
the Netherlands.
Mr.. Vapaa says, according to
a Foreign Agricultural Service
report, the prospective market
in these countries is even more
important to the U. S. poultry
industry. Among the l66 mil
lion people in these six coun-
tries, per capita consumption of
poultry meat products in the
year ending June 80, 1859, a.
mounted to only 8.4 pounds,
compared with about "a pounds

Farmers Question
Protein Sources

County Agent George Vapaa
reports that hog producers are
asking him whether soybean
meal can be replaced by other
protein sources in fortified soy
bean meal-type rations.
He says the answer is yes
| if the other ingredient does not
replace more than half the soy
bean meal. When another in
gredient replaces more than

half the bean meal, nutrient de
ficiencies may occur.
If this precaution is observed
here are the amounts of var
ious ingredients needed to re-
place 100 pounds of soybean
meal: (l) meat and bone scraps,
SO pounds; (2) tankage, 81
pounds; (3) cottonseed meal, lie

and (6) dried skim milk, l04

Civic Unit Gives
$50 to Promote
District Vote

The Presidential Vote for
D. c. Committee was voted a $50
appropriation by the North
Michigan Park Civic Associa-
Jon at their meeting last night.
The group also announced
that $123.33 plus some 80 boxes
of food and clothing had been
collected for the residents of
Tent City" Tenn, who were
forced out of their homes for
allegedly attempting to vote
during the presidential election.
A recreation report that
showed their area as not re-
ceiving any special funds for

the group to consider methods

reation authorities in the hope
that a playground for the COM

signed by Lavon."
Pinhas Lavon was Minister
OF Defense in the Israeli cabi-
net of Prime Minister Moshe
Sharett. Mr.. Lavon resigned
on Mr.. Sharett's demand, and
David Ben-Gurion became
Minister of Defense.
The account continues that
Israeli courts trying forgery
cases last year heard testimony
that Mr.. Lavon's signature had
been forged in 1854 in "a secu-
rity miShap." A government
found that Mr.. Lavon
was the victim of intrigue and
forgery. Mr.. Ben Gurion,
Prime Minister of Israel before
and after Mr.. Sharett's brief
term, resigned January 81 in
protest against his cabinets
of Mr.. Lavon.

Blame Israeli Group
The Jewish Newsletter ac-
count says the operation in
question was planned by a
group in the Israeli Depart
ment of Defense and Mr.
Lavon's signature forged to the
authorization.
The story adds:
THE dread secret of Israeli
officers ordering the bombing
'of United States installations
in Egypt is too embarrassing to
admit. The suspicion arises
that Ben-Gurion himself gave
the order. :"
The Israeli Government has
declined to give full details of
the Lavon affair. Newspapers
in Israel which have hinted at
parts of the background have

that some buildings should re-
main intact to be correlated
with the university's School of
Social Work and as a training
center for settlement workers.
ITO destroy Hull House would

All interesting suggestion was
made in the current issue Of Vir-
giria Wildlife. That is to feed
surplus grain to wildlife during
severe winter months. This
would accomplish three fold
purpose. First, it would reduce
the surplus: second. it would
save money that is being spent
by the government on storing the
surplus: and third, it would be
beneficial to the wild animals
and birds that afford so much
pleasure during hunting season
The big objection to this, of
course. is that it is too simple
for our complicated government
1t would require the organization
of a. separate bureau of the gov
eminent and would end up cost
ing more than it costs to store
the grain.
An article in the Wildlife IN
North Carolina magazine points
up the importance of food for
quail especially during February
and March. The article says the
following:
During late December and
January the weather becomes
more severe and the scarcity of
food becomes a real problem
Weed seeds have nearly disap-
peared from the scene. acorn
and pine mast have been con-
sumed by squirrels and other
animals. All that remain are the
seeds of legumes. Such seeds con-
tain large amounts of protein
and are relished by the bob
white However. they are not
overly abundant and before win
ter passes these seeds become
very hard to find. During this
period quail also feed on the
fruits of poison ivy and sumac
and the fruits and leaves of
honeysuckle.
The carrying capacity. or the
number of quail that the habitat
will support, is lowest during
February and March If ic- 1lIrjno-
this time that quail stuff them
selves on almost any food that
they can find. Often the food is
of an inferior nature and some
of the birds become considerably
weakened. Many of these no
longer have the strength to with
stand disease and escape from
predators and are lost.
