Green, manager of the federal crop Insurance corpora tion, said today he expects upward of 20,000 farmers to participate this rear In the federal wheat in surance program,- inaugurating the government's venture Into In suring farmers against wheat crop losses from unavoidable causes in ' 1939.' -' "- - If the 1938 crop should be a bumper one. Green believes more farmers would take policies, pay ing the premiums in wheat and insuring . against failure of the 1939 crop up to 50 to 75 per cent of the 10-year average annual pro duct ion of their farm and the county it is located in. Premium rates would vary, depending on the .production average. During the first three years of operation of the program. Green told a conference of farmers, ex tension officials, state and county committeemen, policies will be written on a one-year basis, but It is planned to provide policies covering three -or five-year periods. ' " . ' . : Urging farmers to become crop Insurance minded, Green said they would be certain, not to reap' ad vantages of . the program if they come in one year and drop out the next. They "should not gamble with crop insurance," he added. Spring Growers Interested Farmers in the spring wheat territory, he said; have .evinced greater interest than those In other parts of the country. Start ing late in Hay or early in June applications for policies will be accepted with mid-September ten tatively set as the latest time for obtaining insurance on the 1939 crop.: --. . " One feature of the program Is that everything- is reckoned in terms of wheat. The premium will be in bushels of wheat, indemni ties for losses will be paid In bushels of wheat and the corpora tion will hold its reserves In wheat to be stored in available facilities at government expense, which also provides for all administrative ex penses."
