Hail Insurance or Protection to
GROWING Crops.

Never III the. history of Iowa or
of the world has there been a
timex when the demand for pro
lection to growing crops from
damage done by hail storms was
as great as at the present time.
We assign two reasons for
this, the first of which is that
with the price of land or rent, tho
price of seed grain and the price
of labor so high the farmer gets
SO much invested in his crops
that he cannot afford to- PUN the
risk of having it destroyed by a
hail storm With no indemnity.
The owner of the land regards
hail insurance as a good business
Investment. while the renter sees
lin it his salvation. The man
with a family cannot afford to
jcopardize their welfare and he
recognizes. the fact that there is
no other method to make himself
and loved ones safe except by re-
Liable hail insurance.
The second reason, and we hc-
.lieNc it is as good as the first, is
that the farmers of Iowa have
learned that there is a Hail In
.surance Association upon which
they can depend and that The Old
Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance
Association OF Iowa has made
such a record for efficiency.

farmers have confidence in this
association wherever ihe associa--
tion does business. The losses
are adjusted fairly and literally
and are paid promptly. The
more we learn Of this Association
the less we marvel at The great
and growing demand for its pro-
lection.
Our crops are insured With the

crops we would have them all pro-
tected. We recommend il TO our
neighbors and friends. A man
