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.

T
Organizations Not Only Pay
for Supplies But Turn
Back Savings.
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. Out
of this, $25,380,000 was paid to
farmers as patronage dividends,
and $13,306,000 was plowed back
into cooperative IniHiness to pro
vide additional operating capital.
Farmers in California, profiting
from cooperative sales of oranges
and , other citrus fruits, received
the largest gross amount of pat
ironage refunds followed by Minne
sota where opoperatlve marketing
of butter, milk and cheese, grain,
livestock, and other products boost
ed the income of thousands of pro
ducers. Patronage dividends
amounting to $1,000,000 or more
were also reported for Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Washington and sev
eral other states.

WESIX automatic electric water heaters. No
longer will it be necessary to put up with on
obsolete, expensive, unsatisfactory method of
heating water.
These new automatic electric water heaters
are like giant thermos bottles. They use less
electricity because practically none of the
heat is lost through radiation. It provides an
abundance of hot water at exactly the right
