SOCIAL SECURITY . A number of farm owners in Rappahannock County are not clear on the question of whether they should report, for social security purposes, their share of income derived from crops raised by a share-cropper, according to Mr. Robert E. Parsons, assistant manager for the Alexandria social security office. Parsons stated that for social security purposes the share of the crop received by the landlord, whether in cash or in a portion of the produce, is considered rentals from real estate and is not selfemployment income that is creditable toward social security protection. Such farm owners should not include income from their share of such crops in reporting net earnings from farming. Parsons pointed out that if the farm owner and the tenant have entered into a legal partnership then each one of them would report his share of the income from this arrangement and pay the social security tax of 3% as required by law. If further information is desired contact the social security representative who will be in Washington, Virginia on the fourth Wednes-’ day of each month at the Court House at 1:00 P. M..

Those with little capital and willing to work need not worry nor do those who are willing to work under their leadership.
