You Are Self-Employed
If You Farm On Shares
by William E. LaRock
District Manager
(Traverse City social security office
Ed Note: This is the third in a
series of articles on social security
for farm operators, answering new
questions which have just been
settled. The Sentinel was selected
as one of a group of Michigan news
papers to print the series on the
basis of the paper's Interested read*
ersh'p and circulation.
In-, my last article I ( stated that
a self employed farmer for social
secufcity purposes.is a person who
operates a farm either as owner,
lessee, or renter. The way in which
yoit pay for the use of the land
which you do not own does not
matter. It (may be money rent or
any .other kind of rent. A common
"OOn-cash rental arrangement is the
share-renting arrangement under
which the share-farmer -pays a
Share, of the crop or. livestock raised tt> the landowner for the use of
.tlie.-land.
" Ttir social security purposes, a
shai!e-farmer is considered a self-
employed, farmer. By "share-<far-
mer" I mean a. person who urtder-
.-tatee*"' to produce a crop or livestock on another person's land
v/ith the crop or its proceeds to be
, divided and with the amount going
to each depending on the amount-
of the crop or the number of livestock produced.
" TV>  be   self-employed,   & share-
■ farmer must have the responsibility for the production of a crop
during the growing season, More-
Over, the share-farmer's arrangement with the farm owner must
. be one whereby the share-farmer's
V earnings from operating the land
v are a percentage share of the total
Icrop produced'or livestock he raises.    	
While a self-employed share-far-
imer is one who enters into an
agreement to produce a crop or
livestock on land belonging to
someone else, it is not necessary
in all cases that he do every part
of the job. For example, a land
owner may have planted or set out
the fruit trees, bushes, or plants
in former years and turned over
their cultivation and care to a
share-farmer. In another situation
the landowner might undertake to
harvest or sell the crop produced
by the share-farmer. Neither of
these circumstances would prevent
the share-farmer from being considered se'lf-enrployed.
The phrase "to produce a crop
or livestock" does not mean that
a share-ifarrner must necessarily
assume responsibility for paying
the expenses of raising or harvesting the crop. Seed, feed, fertilizer, tools, machinery, insecticides,
etc. tmay be shared or provided entirely by the farm owner. As long
as the share-farmer "has the responsibility of farming the land
during the growing season on. a
percentage of the crop or- proceeds
arrangement he is a self-employed
share-farmer for social security
purposes and his net earnings from
such work are building old-age and
survivors insurance protection for
him and his family.
If the farm owner also participates in the crop production and at
the same time shares responsibility for any losses as well as profits,
Such an .arrangement is more likely to be a business partnership.
■Both parties, then, are self-employed farmers for social security
purposes. I shall discuss such farm
] partnerships in my next article.
Exhibit Of
Local Artists
Viewed By 350
Between noon and 5 p.m. Sunday
three hundred and fifty art followers turned out at the Wedgewood
Room of the Hotel Doherty to
scrutinize, vote on and buy art
pieces hung in the Third Annual
Art Exhibit of Mrs. Virginia Seitz*
students.
Forty per cent of those present
were out-of-town people. Commenting on this, Mrs. Seitz said she was
pleased that the local exhibit had
drawing power to attract outsiders,
but said that local attendance was
not what it might have been. *
Art buyers and professional art*
tists from Saginaw, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Cleveland, Lake Cieorge ana
Mt. Pleasant had complimentary
comments to make, on the quality
and variety of the art work exhibited. '
Voting on work in the exhibit established predominant local prefer-
en'cesin wt \-;ork£ Mrs*.Adelaid'e El-
den's Landscape With Birches *-yas
named number ohe favorite by the
largest number of those' Voting.
Second favorite was Mrs. Maxine
Kirkpatrick's Landscape in Oil,
and third was.Mrs. Sarah Beck's
Green Mansions, also a landscape.
"The voting did not necessarily
reward the work that was best by
what are sometimes called profes»
sionai art standards. It did, show
that visitors at the exhibit found
their favorites among landscapes,
particularly green anl local ones"
Mrs. Seitz said. 5
Close runners-up in the voting
Were Mrs. Dorr's Bicknell's Street
Scene In The .Rain, Virginia Foss*
Snow Scene, Mrs.. Patricia Pinaites
Winter Night and Mrs. Grace McArthur's Our Church.
Mrs. McArthur's The Farm, also
hung in the local exhibit, was winner of third prize in its class at the
Saginaw Womens Club Regional
Art Exhibit in Saginaw last spring.
Art buyers, some local, but mostly professional artists and art pat-
ions from out of town, took' home
thirteen of the sixty pieces of work
exhibited. Sixteen adults, and a
number of Mrs. Seitz' children students had work in the show.
Guests for the -afternoon came
from Saginaw, .Lockport, N. Y.,

Army Reserve Program Is Training Cadres of Leaders
Much has been said and written
about the Armed Forces Reserves
•components -their purpose and
mission, - their ultimate goal. However, Army reservists belonging to
the two local units feel that more
public information is needed to explain immediate objectives of individuals who -make up the training
program. They have prepared some
information concerning what these
men are doing and what good they
expect to get out of the reservist
program.
Taking themselves as average examples of enlisted • reserves, they
define their status and describe
their military activity as follows:
As'members of the two Army infantry companies cu'Crently training two nights a week in Clare they
together" are one organic part of
the 70th Inf antry Division. The 70th.
infantry is a parent organization
of units located in Michigan and
Northern Indiana.
Unlike active Army infantry divisions, this reserve organization
numbers in personnel, a mere frac-
ton of that which is manitained by
a comparable unit in thfe regular
Army service.
The Army terms this system of
part-strength maintainence, "cadre". In other words, Clare's small,
units would be added to, ot increased to full strength if conditions ever became necessary to
bring ,them to regular service. As
a cadre, they would find. themselves a highly trained "core", or
fbundation upon which to atta-?**
emergency-time personnel.
Clare reservists' realize that they
are units of future "chiefs" - no
indians.
Well, proved theory behind this
practical system of training is this:
In event of a national emergency,*
and subsequent mobilization which
would make it necessary to call up
all reserve forces, the 70th Infan--
try Division artd other "cadre"
strength units would become basic*
training commands whose mission,
would be the training of men furnished 'by the Selective Service System for further shipment tcj lull-
strength  combat-ready divisions.
This part in the nation's military
program sounds like a large order
and the men in the reserve pro-,
gram realize it:- Member's of Clares
two local' units, size up their own,
and their buddies' earnestness by
noting that sincere enthusiasm islwiil" da-m'and
displayed by the Clare men toward ,|"
the accomplishment of*'this mission. They realize..that there is al-
Avays some chance of this traininff
program becoming a serious situation with the responsibility of national security in their hands.
. In practice members of C. I and.
Co.* M ate training two hours each
week to,-become, ndt only small
unit infantry leaders, but effective
instructor's as-weil. First they receive group, instruction in troop
leadership,- ajnd methods of instruction, then as individuals they practice what they have learned by actually conducting classes. ,
Should the moment of full mobilization-be thrust upon u$, America'would face large and difficult
problems. One of the nvost pressing
of these, say reservists, would be
military training! This problem
"up to the minute
knowledge, Clare's "citizen soldiers'* feel that for their part they
will be ready for any emergency
in their -field of effort,       ,
500 Visit
State Unit
For X-Rays
i When the mobile X-Ray unit from
the Michigan HealtE department
packed up and left Clare Wednesday noon, just a few less than 500
people had stepped in for a chest
X-Ray.
The X^Ray unit was brought here
primarily tor food handlers in the
county, since Michigan law requires food handlers to have a
chest examination feach year.
It was not all food handlers who
took advantage of the opportunity, '|
though. Wednesday morning, high
school students at Clare Public
Schools were excused to go for the
XtRays;
The State health department
team was in Clare Tuesday evening
from 5 to 8, and Wednesday itaorn-
ing till noon.
One hundred and ninety people
were gvien chest X-Rays during
the Tuesday evening session, most
of them adults. Becaiise it is especially important that this 'age
group have periodic X-Rays, Dorothy Jolly, state Health department
nurse with the unit said that workers were pleased with the tdrnout,
even though a numerically Iar*
ger group were X-Rayed Wednesday morning.
County nurse, Mrs. Kathryn
Freeman, said that more X-rays
were taken at Gladwin ifhan at
Clare, and commented'' that the
■turnout should have "been l*etter
here.
She added many aidults just-
could not get* to. the mobile, unit
during the hour it Was Operating,
and so missed o\it. She saifi the u*
nit will no doubt be back hext
