C lackam as C ounty N ew s VOLUME XXXV ESTACADA, OREGON Will Now Accept 1941 Applications CROP INSURANCE ACCEPTED BY C LA C K A M A S COUNTY AAA OFFICE The Clackamas county agricultural conservation office is prepared to accept applications for crop insur ance on the 1941 spring wheat crop,, G. R. Cumberland, chairman of thi county committee said today. Spring wheat growers are urged to sign their spring wheat crop insurance applica tions on or before February 28 which is the final date for filing spring wheat crop insurance applications in the county office. Nearly 5000 applications were fil ed in Oregon by winter wheat grow ers for the 1941 crop which is about three times the number of wintei wheat applications filed in 1940. A large percentage of this increase in 1941 over 1940 o f winter wheat ap plications was made in western Ore gon counties. Clackamas county has already 589 winter wheat applica tions filed for the 1941 crop. Mr. Cumberland believes this would indi cate that the wheat growers o f wes tern Oregon are becoming just as much crop insurance minded as the wheat growers o f eastern Oregon. They are becoming aware o f the fact that wheat crop insurance is defin itely an income stabilizer and also a means of additional farm credit where credit is necessary for farming op erations. A good many o f the applicants for crop insurance are taking advantage o f the new method by which they make their premium payment, which means they may have their premum deducted from their AAA farm pay ment, thus eliminating the necessity o f paying cash for the amount ol their premium. Mr. Cumberland pointed out that under the all-risk wheat crop Insur ance program farmers can protect their wheat crop for either 50 or 7f percent o f their average yield ag ainst loss from all unavoidable haz ards. Total losses ate settled as soor as satisfactory proof is established that a total or substantially total loss has been sustained. Partial losses an settled at harvest time when the act ual loss can be determined. Pay ments for indemity claims are madi without any unnecessary delay.
