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.
