The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon. Wednesday Morning. February II. 1942 PAGE TEH Deadline Set For Insurance Applications Spring Wheat Growers Due : Before February 28 The Marion county agricultural conservation office is prepared to accept applications for crop in surance on the 1942 spring wheat crop, W. M. Tate, chairman of the county committee, said Tuesday, Spring wheat growers are urged t sign their crop insurance appli cations on or before February 28, which is the final date for filing spring wheat crop insurance ap plications in the county office. Marlon county already has 228 winter wheat applications filed for the 1942 crop. Tate be lieves this would indicate that the wheat grower of western Oregon are becoming Just as much crop insurance minded as the wheat growers of eastern Oregon. "They are becoming aware of the fact that wheat crop insurance ix definitely an income stabilizer and also a means of additional farm credit where credit is nec essary for farming operation," he said. A good many of the applicants for crop insurance are taking ad vantage of the new method by which they may make their pre mium payment, which means they may have their premium deduct ed from their AAA farm payment, thus eliminating the necessity of paying cash for the amount of their premium. Tate pointed ont that under the all-risk wheat crop Insur ance program fanners can pro tect their wheat crop for 75 per cent of their average yield against loss from all unavoid able haxards. Total losses are settled as soon as satisfactory proof is established that a total or substantially total loss has been sustained. Partial losses are settled at harvest time when the actual loss can be de termined. Payments for indem city claims are made without any unnecessary delay, Grain Market Rallies Late CHICAGO, Feb. lO--Wheat futures prices put on an exhibi tion of rallying power in the final minutes of trading Tuesday with prices skyrocketing nearly two cents. The extreme gain in soy beans from the day's lowest was 4 cents a bushel. May wheat contracts advanced from a low of $1.27 to $1.29, or to 1 cent higher than Mon day's close. The early break car ried the May wheat conrtact to the lowest since January 2. All other grains advanced propor tionately. The final rally was led by soy beans following a report that the senate agriculture committee had voted approval of a bill designed to prevent the sale of surplus ag ricultural commodities at levels under parity. Wheat closed 4 to IV cents above Monday's final quotations, May $1.29-, July $1.31 1.31. Records Made By Jerseys Ten registered Jerseys, nine of which are owned by L A. Hul burt.
