The 1950 amendments extend old age and survivors insurance to regular farm workers starting January 1 1951. Criteria include cash wages paid by one operator for at least 60 days in a new quarter and minimum $50 earnings, with apprenticeships counted in earlier quarters. Household workers and farm household roles fall under the same rules.
The article outlines January farm tasks including fire prevention, lice control in beef and dairy cattle with rotenone and DDT mixtures, dormant spraying for fruit trees with oil emulsion, caution during freezing weather, construction of new fishponds, and market hog price cycles. It advises pasture planning, self feeding corn, clearing idle land, preparing kudzu and sericea, and setting up for winter lambing and poultry housing with January fertilization for pastures and perennials.
