pared suggestions for a state law
of
providing for the organization
farmers’ mutual fire insurance com­
panies to meet the needs of state*
whose luwa make no suitable pro-
vision for such comiMinlea.
The value of these companies, the
department of agriculture says, Is
demonstrated 1>y the record of ap­
proximately 2,000 such organizations
In the United Blates that carry a to­
tal insurance exceeding *6.000,000,-
000 on property valued at more than
*7.500,000,000, or more than two-
fifths of the value of all Insurable
farm property in the 48 states.
The suggested law Is designed to
make It easy for 20 or more quali­
fied Individuals to organize u farm­
ers; mutual insurance company. At
the same time provision* are in lud-
ed to guard the financial integrity

The average cost for this form of
