Most Poultry Farm
Fires Occur In
BrOOding Season

More fires occur on poultry
farms during the brooding season
than at any other time of the year.
Check all brooder installations as
a matter of habit in your fire pre-
vention program, urges County A.
gent VIM. H. Henderson.
Clean and repair all brooders.
Pay Particular attention to the gas
ring and fittings around the bur-
ner. Give special attention to the
thermostats. and operate the broo-
der at least 2 days as a test run to
make sure that everything is in
working order
Keep watchful eye on burner
operation after chicks arrive. Clean
the burner and remove car
bon deposits at least once a week
Records show that most fires
start during the night and early
morning hours. The last chore of
the day should be a check-up on
brooder operation.
Keep litter away from fire of
brooder. Have your fuel supplier
check your fuel line TO be sure it
is of the proper size for the num-
ber of brooders you are using.
A fire extinguisher in the broo-
der house is added protection.

Social Security
News For Farmers

IF you had gross income from
your farm of 5000 or more, you can
get social security credits even if
you had a loss in 1861. Mr.. Sui
livan, District manager of the
Dover social security Office, said
this week. This means farmers can
build up social security protection
for themselves and their families.
Farm self-employed tax returns
are due by February 18th for those
farmers whose tax year starts on
January 1st. However. farm opera
tors who file an estimate of their
tax and pay that amount by jan
uary 18th have until April 18th to
file their returns and pay any
balance due.
Keeping accurate and complete
records of all income and expenses
is Just good business all the time,
but it is particularly important
when ii is time to file income tax
returns. Maintaining good records
now and filing tax returns on time
means quicker processing of your
claim when you become eligible
for benefits or. in the event of your
death, when your survivors apply
for benefits. The amount OF your
benefit depends on the earnings
you report. The amount of your
benefit depends on the earnings
you report. The tax on 1860 earn
ings is 415I9o of your net earnings
up to $4,000.
If you are going to apply for
social security benefits this year,
Mr.. Sullivan suggests you have an
extra copy of your 1860 Federal In
come Tax Return and Schedule F
made up for social security and
bring it with you so you can get
credit for all your earnings under
Social Security.
All tax returns are filed with
Internal Revenue Service. More
