SoYbean Insect Problems -
Late planted, young succu-
lent beans are attracting the
heaviest infestation of insects
at this time. Older beans are
infested but generally not as
heavy as young beans. The
insects found in most soy
beans are: corn earwormS,
bollworms, velvet bean ca
iterpillars, fall army worms,
yellow striped army worms
and cabbage loopers.
The corn earworms and
possibly few bollworms and
stink bugs are the only ones
attacking the young pods of
the beans. Most of the other
insects are feeding on the
foliage of the plants.
When to poison for pod
feeders - when one or more
corn earworms are found per
3 feet of row then they
should be poisoned to con-
trol damage to young bean
pods.
Poison for stink bugs when
one or more are found per
foot of row.
The worms that are DANA
glng the leaves - regardless
what insects are feeding on
the foliage apply control mea
sures when 35 to 40go leaf
surface has been consumed.
If old beans have full pods
and nearing stage of matur-
ity it is not advisable to poi
son unless pods are being at
tackled by insects.

using SEWN wettable powder
use 2 pounds of Wettable
powder per acre.
For stink bug use ~ per-
cent technical material of me-
thyl parathion.
Let me urge that you keep
a close watch on your young
soybeans and poison when
necessary.
Cotton Insects -
There is still lots of cotton
in the delta area of Holmes
County that you should con-
tinue to poison several more
times in order to get the most
out of your cotton crop.
Bollworms are continuing
to be a hazard to most of
our green cotton and boil
weevils are also increasing
daily and moving from field
to field. So an insecticide, to
control both boil Weevils and
bollWorms, should be applied
at regular intervals.
Most of the cotton in the
hill area has cut out and
there would be very little
benefit from poisoning much
of the cotton in the hill area
of the county.
If your cotton has not been
poisoned within the last two
| weeks / believe it would be
to your advantage to defol-
late such fields and pick as
soon as enough cotton is open
: to do so, either by hand or
mechanical pickers.
- ** IS
Planting Winter Grazing -
If you are planning on
planting any winter grazing,
| particular early winter graz
| ing, now is the time it should
be planted. In the hill area of
the county you should apply
| at least so units of phosphate
and 80 to 70 units nitrogen
: per acre when preparing seed
bed. In the delta area posi-
bly, nitrogen is all that is
necessary to apply prior to
planting.
With the cost of wheat for
winter grazing it appears
this would be your best buy
for winter grazing as oat
seed are high and scarce.
Oats or wheat with mixture
of rye grass should give a
| good, long lasting grazing
period unless winter is too
severe.
Where planting oats and
rye grass in combination use
"a bushels oats per acre and
20 to 25 pounds rye grass per
acre. Where using wheat and
| rye grass use 120 pounds of
wheat and 20 to Is pounds of
| rye grass per acre. After
| planting be sure and culti-
pack in order to get a stand
of oats or wheat quicker than
| you would otherwise.
Harvesting Corn -
Harvest corn as soon as
moisture is dry enough for
sufficient storage. Where stor
ing in ear in crib the mois-
ture should be as low as 16
per cent. Clean out all old
corn in crib and spray your
crib with insecticide such as
malathion or methoxychlor.
If using malathion use one
pint of 81 percent malathion
emulsion in 3 gallons of wa
ter or use one pound of so
percent wettable powder me-
.thoxych'or to 2 gallons OF
water. Spray one of these
mixtures to each 1000 square
feet of surface area in order
to kill out and destroy old
WeevilS.
If you are going to harvest
corn with combine your
moisture can be higher than
Is percent. It will have to be
dried Immediately with arti-
! ficial heat in order to get
moisture down to II to 13
percent before storing shelled
corn.

Information On
Social Security

Self-employed farmers should
beware of persons who offer to
"fix" their tax returns, so they
can obtain social security bene-
fits, in return for portion or
ali of their first benefit check.
This caution was given today
by John F. Pate, District Man
ager of the Jackson Social Sc
curity Office, who pointed out
that a farmer must have a
profit of at least $4OO or a gross
of 5000 in a year before he is
eligible to report his income for
social security purposes. Some
older farmers who have not had
this much income in a year have
been approached by certain tax
"fixers" who say they can "fix
it up" so the farmer can qualify
for social security benefits. In
such situation, the "fixer" and
the farmer may be prosecuted
Jackson advocate., 1963-09-07

for attempting to defraud the
Social Security Administration.
To make his point, Mr.. Pate
mentioned the recent opinion
given by the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit regarding j. j. Harda-
way and his sister, Katie Mae
Heidelberg, from Clarke County,
Mississippi. They were sem
fenced two years ago in Federal
district court to three years in
prison and fined S1,750 each for
conspiring to defraud the Social
Security Administration. The
sentence of Imprisonment was
suspended on the condition that
the fine be paid on or before
January 1, 1862. They were ad-
mitted to bail of $1,000 each
pending appeal.
They were convicted of going
about telling certain aged indi-
viduals they could get them on
social security and then filing
tax returns with erroneous or
highly inflated" amounts. There
were about 40 different cases
filed together, but only nine
received benefits before the con-
spiracy was detected. The Court
of Appeals affirmed the verdict
of the court on August 8, 1868.
According to testimony in the
trial, Hardaway and Katie Mae
charged a certain percentage of
the first benefit checks for pre-
pairing the fraudulent returns.
Mr.. Pate pointed out that cur
rent regulations provide that
prior authorization from the So
cial Security Administration is
required before a person who is
not an attorney may charge or
receive any fee for services rem
dered in connection with an ap-
plication for Federal old-age.
survivors or disability insurance
benefits. Authorization is not
required for attorneys unless
the fee exceeds amounts speci-
fled in Federal regulations.

gress. Its life has been ex-
tended periodically since that
date.
1t has submitted reports on
education, the American In
dian, recommendations on vot-
ing, employment, public schools
in the South, and housing.
This focus on racial problems
has been particularly irritat-
ing TO Southern senators whose
wrath reached a white heat
when the commission, in a re-
port published in April &C
cused the State of Mississippi
of denying the Negro his con-
stitutional right to vote.
The commission then recon-
mended that the President con-
slider asking for legislation to
empower him to withhold fed
eral funds from a state under
such conditions.
The President, commenting
later on the proposal, said he
did not have the power to cut
off federal aid in this way and
thought "it would probably be
unWlse to give the President
Of the United States that kind
Of power. :"
He is, however, now asking
for such power in the present
civil-rights bill, under Title 6.
AS for the continuation of
the Civil Rights Commission,
Democratic Sen. John S. Spark
man Of Alabama, John Stennis
Of Mississippi, and Lister Hill
of Alabama. among others, are
strongly opposed.
The administration asks not
only that the commissions
term be extended but its role
enlarged.
1t has been kind of fact.
hndlng agency in the past ane
through its hearings and re-
ports, has turned the public
spotlight on what it considered
areas of discrimination.
These hearings have been
followed by voluminous reports
and recommendations to the
President and to Congress.
Now that events themselves
are bringing racial problems to
the surface, the fact-fnding
role of the commission has be-
come less urgent.
