Oct 30 Final Date for Insurance On Fall Wheat The final date for acceptance of applications from Oregon wheat growers for crop insurance on their 1940 wheat crop is October 30, ac cording to Will Steen, Milton, chair man of the state AAA committee. Mark Weatherford, Gilliam county wheat grower, was the first man to take insurance on his winter wheat crop for next year. Most of the ap plicants last year and this have taken 75 per cent coverage. Out of 708 policies in effect in Oregon this past season, indemnity payments totaling 44,000 bushels on 52 policies have been made to date, and others are pending. Principal causes of losses were late frosts, dry weather, and the July hail storm in Morrow county. "Winter wheat growers who want to insure their crops have two fac tors to keep in mind," he said. "First, they must apply for the insurance and pay the premium before their crop is planted this fall. Second, applications cannot be accepted even if the crop hasn't been planted, af ter the general cut-off date of Oc tober 30." The state chairman reminded wheat growers that all farmers who intend to plant wheat for harvest in 1940 are eligible for "all-risk" crop insurance now being offered to grow ers by the Federal Crop Insurance corporation. Either the operator or the landlord, or both, may insure their interest in the crop. Under the crop insurance program, growers may insure their interest in either 50 or 75 per cent of the average yield of their farms. Where more than one person has an in Gazette Times, Heppner, CECELIA MISS DOROTHY HOWELL Lexington Grange MISS DOROTHY BRADY Willows Grange terest in the crop, each may insure his own interest independently of action of the others. Separate con tracts are made to each individual, without affecting the interest of other parties. Application is made to the county AAA committee. Youth Training Bearing Results Evidence that the work of train ing young people to drive properly was having good results in Oregon was seen today by Earl Snell, sec retary of state, who reported that drivers in the 15-24 age group in this state scored the best record in driv ing improvement, as reflected in a decrease in the number of fatal ac cidents in which they were involved. During the first six months of 1939, drivers in this age group were involved in seven per cent less fatal accidents than during the corres ponding period in 1938. Drivers in the 25-39 age group constituted 31 per cent of the fatal accident drivers; those in the 40-54 group acounted for 20 per cent, those in the 55-64 group, six per cent; and those over 65 years of age, five per cent. Those not stated, 13 per cent. For the past two years the secre tary of state's office has sponsored safety driving schools in many of the high schools of the state as well as in various communities where non-high school people may take the course. These schools give those who enroll a scientifically designed course of instruction in learning to operate an automobile on the theory that it is easier for an individual to become a good driver if he is taught by a competent instructor, Snell said. "The improvement shown by the Oregon younger group gives us great en couragement in our program of training young drivers," Snell de clared. "As these young people who are trained drivers begin using our highways and streets, we reap the benefits from their better, safer driving. The poor driver can never be as safe a driver as an expert. The principles of courtesy, observance of the rights of others and good sportsmanship which are emphasized in the courses tend to make these young drivers a credit to our state." State Fair, Forestry Broadcasts Scheduled Arrangements for broadcasting state fair news direct from the grounds at Salem, and for inaugur ating a new Oregon state depart ment or torestry program over KOAC, have just been announced by Burton Hutton, director of agri cultural programs on the state-owned station at Corvallis.

Ferguson, state for ester, has arranged to have various members of his department, includ ing himself, appear from time to time on matters of general interest.

Thousands of Americans were shocked at the Moro Castle disaster off the New Jersey coast a few years ago when 134 persons were killed. In Oregon, 135, or one more than the death toll of this disaster, were killed in traffic accidents during the first six months of 1939, Earl Snell, secretary of state, said today. National economists compute the total accident cost in the United States at $105 per second, according to figures received by the Oregon traffic safety division of the secre tary of state's office.
