Ohio crop prospects on June 1 show above average conditions with Winter wheat expected to top last year’s output and rye down slightly. Hay and pasture are strong, apples and several fruits forecast smaller crops than 1939, with oats and barley near or above normal. Nevada note appears as a stray line in the report.
Miss Margaret F Bolton of the Lorain field office reports 2223 Ohioans receive monthly old age and survivors insurance as of April 30. April payments total 61683 dollars. National totals show 21150 added in April, now 62364 on rolls, with monthly benefits at 1173933 dollars. A detailed breakdown lists retired workers 2579 and payments totaling 57714 dollars.
Miss Bolton explains that qualifying workers aged 65 or over and their spouses receive monthly benefits and payments extend to children under 18 or widows with young children. The program funds come from wage earners and employers as a dedicated tax, ensuring payments as a right regardless of other income.
