The first payment will be due when income tax reports are filed early in 1956. i Where farming is done on land belonging to someone else and regular cash wages arc not paid, there may be some doubt about being self-employed or a worker, Mc- Nabb explains.

The answer depends on the arrangement the agreement between the renter and the i landowner. McNabb gives some general guides but in case of doubt On January 1, 1955. a new social security law. passed recently by the 83rd Congress, will bring old-age survivors insurance protection most farmers and farm workers. jCoy McXabb.

extension economist at the University of Missouri, says. New legislation makes two important changes that affect farm people. McNabb explains. Farm operatorspeople farming for themselves have not been covered by the social security law up to now but beginning the first of the year. all of them who make as much as profit in a year will have old-age and survivors insurance protec-i tion.

1 Farm employees people doing farm work for others are already I covered by the law if they work regularly for one farm operator. The new law brings old-age and i survivors insurance protection to all farm workers who earn as much as $100 cash pay in a year from any one farmer whether the work is regular or not.

McNabb says self-employed In some convenient spot on every farmstead there should be an adequate collection of fire fighting equipment, says E.

Stevens, extension agricultural engineer at the University of Missouri and secretary of the Missouri Rural Safety Council. Fire fighting equipment, such as shown above, should be kept together near the center of the farmstead so that it will be readily avail-able if a fire should break out. Items in the picture include a sack, water hose, fire extinguisher, water and sand buckets, axe, grubbing hoe, leaf rake, shovel, fire rake, and water barrel. I either money rent or any other kind of rent, and the renter farms I it as his own, then he is self-em-i ployed for social security purposes. He then makes out a social security report, just as any other self-em-.

ployed farmer, once a year and pays social security taxes if net learnings are $400 or more for the year. If farming is done on shares and I the agreement is that a share of the crop goes as rent for the land. the share-cropper is ordinarilv con-jsidered self-employed for social security purposes. On the other hand, McNabb says if the share arrangement is that the landowner, or other operator of the farm, pays a share of the crop, or of the proceeds from it, as pay for work, then the sharecropper is considered an employee. An employer of farm labor is required under the new law to deduct the 2 per cent of wages paid for social security.

It is important that the report show the name and social security number exactly as they appear on the card to insure, proper credit toward benefits. Social security offices are rospon- sible for issuing social security ac- count-number cards, for handling I claims for benefits and for giving information about rights and duties under old-age and survivors insur-I ance, McNabb says. On any of theso matters for general information or booklets on old-age and surviv-i ors insurance, get in touch with your nearest social security office, These are located in the larger cities and towns of every state and local postmasters can give the ad-i dress of ones serving their areas.

farmers and workers contribute to a fund while they are working and when earnings stop because of 1 death of the worker at any age. or his retirement at the age of 65 or later, payments are made to the worker or his survivors as the case I may be. Most persons who come under so-! cial security for the first time on January I. can become insured for the payment of benefits as soon as they have earned social securitv credits for at least one and one-half years and pot more than 10 yea's in any case. Since farmers pay their 1 scciM security tax once a year, it i would really be two years before thev could claim benefits, i According to McNabb.

The money is sent to the Internal Rev-i enue Service along with a list showinc the wages and social secu-i riv account number of each em-I plnvce.
