Deadline Set for
Wheat Insurance
Premium Payment
Saturday, April 29, is the deadline
for payment of premiums on spring
wheat insurance under the federal
crop insurance plan, announces N.
C. Donaldson of Corvallis, executive
officer for the AAA farm program
in Oregon.
A total of 839 Oregon farmers
have applied for insurance on their
wheat crops, says Clyde Kiddle, state
crop insurance supervisor. Approx
imately 600 of them have paid their
premiums, either in cash or in
wheat.
Largest crop insurance policies in
the state were those taken out last
fall in Umatilla county by the farm
ing lenterprises supervised by Mac
Hoke of Pendleton, said Kiddle.
Three carloads of wheat were re
quired to pay the premium on the
7766 acres insured. This is regarded
as the largest crop insurance ven
ture in the United States.
Second largest wheat insurance
policy in Oregon was taken out re
cently by the Rietmann Bros, of
lone, in Morrow county, Kiddle
stated. A total of 1607 acres was in
sured for 75 per cent of possible
loss, at the rate of 1.6 bushels pre
mium payment per acre.
The premium on the Rietmann
Bros, policy cost them $1321, or the
equivalent of 2571 bushels of No. 2
soft white wheat. In event of total
loss of their crop they would re
ceive 13,378 bushels of wheat or its
cash equivalent.
The recently announced change in
wheat acreage compliance rules to
permit full payment where less than
80 per cent of the allotment is seed
ed will not allow growers to collect
payments if they carry out no farm
ing operations this year, warns N.
C. Donaldson, AAA executive offi
cer in Oregon.
A farm is not considered as being
operated unless at least half of the
crop land is being worked either in
producing crops or maintaining sum
merfallow. The new ruling will permit the
earning of more payments by those
who for any reason have been un
able to seed 80 per cent of their al
lotment. The change came too late
to affect many seeding practices in
Oregon, however.
Twenty-five small automobiles, of
the foot-pedal variety, were used
in the "safety town" conducted in
the Mansfield, Ohio, public parks
last summer, when the principles of
traffic safety were taught to young
sters of that city. A model intersec
tion with miniature traffic lights,
was used in showing the young auto
ists and pedestrans how to coniduct
themselves in traffic.
