Even though Social Secmity
tax is not collected unless the

the tax, at the rate of 8 8 per

Therefore, it is good business to
withhold on all wages paid If
the $l5O level is not reached, re

the employee.
Remember, participation in
Social Security is not voluntary
for the worker or the farmer,
McAllister says. The tax liabili
ty for the full 8 8 percent of the
worker’s wages is that of the
employer. Although the em
ployee pays one-half, it is up to
the employer to collect this one
half at the time the worker is
paid.
Angus Assn. Offers
Performance Pedigrees
The American Angus Asso
ciation announced recently
what it claimed to a “first in
the beef cattle industry ” Ef
fective August Ist, the associa
tion will offer performance
pedigrees to members who are
taking part in the Angus Herd
Improvement Record Program
On the face of the new pedi
giee foim will be three gen
erations of ancestry. Individual
measurements for weaning
weights and grades, yearling
weights and grades, weight ra
tios, and herd classification
scores of all animals will be
shown when this information
is available. The pedigree form
also will list the progeny rec
-01 d of the animal’s sire and
dam which can include carcass
evaluation measurements, too,
the association explains
On the reverse side of the
pedigree are spaces for a com
plete production record of the
animal’s progeny If a cow, it
will list the important produc
tion measure results and con
formation scores of all her
calves and yearlings. This may
be up-dated each year to show
her produce of dam record If
a sire, the bull’s progeny aver
ages will be listed and these
also may be brought up-to date
each year.
All the information on the
new performance pedigrees
will be printed by the associa
tion’s computer They are the
first truly complete pedigrees
listing all known productive
ness results ever offered in the
beef industry. Members wish
ing to receive these new pedi
grees should contact the Breed
Improvement Department in
St. Joseph. The cost is $2 each.
The green 4-leaf clover with
white H’s in each leaf is the

Graz# Sorghum-Sudan
Early, Specialist' Says
There is a possibility of
double returns from early graz
ing of sorghum-sudan, says Vic
tor Plastow, associate county
agent.
It is claimed that cattle will
get more protein, more digesti
bility of energy and protein,
and less fiber than when first
grazing is delayed beyond a
plant height of about 20 inches.
In addition, Plastow notes, early
grazing reduces losses from
trampling and lodging. Re
searchers indicate this loss can
be serious because the hybrids
are more brittle and prone to
breaking than other forages.
Although sorghum-sudan hy
brids accumulate nitrates at
slightly higher levels during
early growth stages than later
in the season, any incidence of
nitrate toxicity from early graz
ing has been quite low, Plas
tow says. The higher nutritive
values gained in early grazing
usually far out-weigh any poten
tial danger from nitrate.
