Crop insurance is a very outstand
ing feature of the farm program es
pecially in Umatilla county.
Although entirely new to the farm
er, when first introduced in 1938, 278
applications were written, which cov
ered 33% of the wheat allotments in
this county. The table below shows
the substantial increase in policies
written each year.

From the number of policies writ

that the farmer now realizes the ben
