How Wheat Crop Insurance Works CARMER BUYS INSURANCE1 -PAYS PREMIUM INTO RESERVE 2 IF CROP IS LOST FARMIFR IS PAID FROM RESERVE Oregon wheat growors are turn ing In applications for crop Insur ance In numbers indicating consid erable popularity of the plan, re ports Clyde Kiddle, stale supervi sor of Insurance. How Ibo plan works Is Illustrat ed by the application received from A. J?. Koppock, chairman of the Umatilla comity agricultural con servation committee. Records show that Koppock 's average yield has been -12 bushels per acre. Ho has applied for 75 per cent coverage for noxt year, which means that he will be certain of having at least .'Hi bushels per acre to market even If his entire crop should be destroyed for some reason. This will cost him just .5 bushel per acre In premium. ' If he chooses to do so, Mr. Kop pock can turn over a bushel per acre and have his premiums cared lor for two years, subject to slight possible adjustment. . The premium rate varies from county to county according to past records of losses, but i" no Oregon county is the rate more than 2 bushels per acre and in most counties it is less than one bushel for 75 per cent coverage. Closing date for receiving insur ance applications In Oregon Is No vember 30. In any case, however, application must be made before fall seeding is completed. Either 50 per cent or 75 per , cent cover age may be obtained.

In milking theh: bid for fur in buMfnesH, agricultural cooperatives In IS Btutes are not only marketing fi in products for their mem bet uud purclmnlng farm supplies co operatively, but paying them cash dividends, In addition, of 'more than $25,U00,000 annually. Over 4,000 of the 10,752 farmer owned operatives which placo one third of the nation's farm products on the market each year and cot operatively handle farm supplle turn back to their member a sav ing on the year's business known as a "patronage dividend." Officials of the 12 Banks for Co operatives, who have Just com pleted a nation-wide survey of farmer cooperatives, report that the typical dividend-paying asso ciation with a membership of two or three hundred farmers pays patronage dividends amounting to $t,()00 or $7,000 on a year's busi ness. iMosi of these co-ops also pay limited dividends uu their .stock owned by farmer members. What Figures Show Cooperatives in which farmers are selling everything from onions to oranges nnd buying virtuuliy every type of farm supply, paid the expenses of their VJ'.G business the year covered by the survey and had $38,686,000 left over.
