Something About Hail Insurance

This is the season of the year
when all farmers and grain growers
z are very busy sowing the seed and
with the beautiful showers and good
rainy weather the fields will soon
be wearing green Then lookout for
that destruction element which pas
ses over our state and country every
year and each hail storm threshes
out thousands of acres of wheat,
oats, barley and flax.
These acres of grain are valuable
every season and especially this
year because the price of seed feed
and labor is all very high.
The question naturally arises in
the mind of the rich man who
has sown several hundred of
acres with the expectation of
increasing his bank account this
fall. What protection have we
against this enemy, and to the poor
man who has sacrificed, suffered
worked hard, mortgaged land, crops
or teams to secure seed and feed it
becomes very serious question what
shall l do to protect this. My crop
my all from destruction by a
ten minute hail storm.
The farmer rightly thinks he has
had expense enough. But as a
business proposition he cannot at
ford to stop here-because there is
a complete protection for him to be
found in the Farmers Alliance Hail
Association" at actual cost. This in
stitution has been in existence for
the past 10 years with complete sat-
isfaction to all it's members that are
scattered throughout every town
ship and county in our state.
The aim and object of this asso-
citation which did over three mil
lion dollars business in the state
last season and paid in cash to Ward
county members alone-fifty thous-
and dollars besides more than that
amount to other parts of the state Is
a square deal to all its members.
Small commission to solicitors. The
smallest assessment that will
possibly cover losses and expenses
foc he seasons business.
This institution has been the
means of saving to it's members |
thousands of dollars each season
during the past twenty years. Farm
ers have been deceived into allowing
other so-called mutual concerns to
write insurance on their crops and
in each instance they have been sor-
ry because they are limitations and
not the old reliable Alliance Hail
Insurance Association and farmers
should consider carefully the sub
ject of protection from loss to their
growing crops by hail and patroniz
nothing but their own organiza-
ton that has proven absolutely sat
isfactory during it's eighteen years OF
it's existence. The cost is but trifle;
you give an assessable note without
interest for 6 per cent on the amount
YOU insure and the note is made
payable in the fall; during the past
years the cost has not exceeded five
per cent on an average.
Can you afford to pass this up?

Europe and Birth Rating:

The birth rate is more than twice
as large in Russia as 1T IS IN france.
In Normandy, where the blrth rate
is lowest, the births at times tall as
low as fifteen to the 1000 inhabi-
tants in a year. But in Russia there
are many districts, as in Orenburg,
where the births are as high as sixty
to the 1000 in a year. NotWithstand-
ing the immigration from
Europe in the nineteenth century, It's
population now is nearly double what
II was at the beginning of the cen
tury. That part Of Great Britain oc-
cupied by England is now the Q
densely peopled region in Europe.
The crowding Of SO many millions to-
eether is at least having n effect OF
diminishing the birth rate. Statistics
show that it has declined one-fOurth
in the last twenty-eisht years. If TINS
goes on the English birth rate will
soon be as small as that of France. In
some parts of Germany, as In Berlin,
the birth rate is on the decline.
