Youfh Displays Unusual Reptile A “rubber constrictor" snake. a small, brown, smooth-skinned rep tile. was brought into the Argus of fice Monday by Glen Ross. II. who lives near Cornelius. Glen said au thorities had told him the snake was very unusual in this area, and after viewing it. the Argus staff, could testify to that. Tile snake resembles a large brown earthworm, has an extremely flexible b >dy. and likes to bore into the ground. Unfortunately for stu- . denta of snakes, we were unable to find a suitable cage in which to dis- I play the peculiar crawler and hadl to let Glen take him home for a pet.

Applications are being accepted at county AAA of fices. Approximately 2000 Oregon farm ers protected their crop thus year with crop insurance, and a few of these farmers are now filing claims for losses, according to Clyde Kid die. supervisor of the program. Unless unforeseen crop hazards appear before harvest is completed it is not expected that the per cent of loss will be as high as in 1939 when 662 Oregon farmers had in surance and 188 experienced crop losses, Kiddle said. Farmers who receive wheat in payment of insured losses may take out a commodity loan on this wheat any time between now and January 1, 1941, it was pointed out.
