Hail Insurance
United Farmers of Alberta
Assess all Land Whether
in Crops or Not.


In a recent issue fthis paper We
gave some information about thu
workings Of hail insurance carried
by the association known as the
United Farmers of Alberta. In thai
article we indicated that after g
) period OF five years experience carry
Ing their own insurance the farmers
OF the association had some doubt
about the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
the services.
Since that time we had letter
from the vice president, w, D.. Trego
saying that we had misunderstood
or been misinformed as to some of
the items or difficulties the associa-
ton had encountered and offered a
correction for the information of our
readers in Bingham county.
He states that the hail insurance
had been carried as a government
insurance, supported by tax levied
on all land in each municipality that
voted to have it whether their land
was in crop or not. The idea was
to force the speculator in farm land
to help carry the risk from hail.
The rate was placed at 6 cents per
acre and while it more than doubled
the expenses the first two years, the
third year it covered only sc per
cent of the losses SO they could not
all be paid until an amendment could
be made and the hail board author
lied to borrow money on the credit
OF the promise to meet the difference
and they increased the rate of in
surance to get things equalized.
They are still carrying their hail
insurance and are trying to get
things adjusted. 1t is operated by
board elected by the counselor of the
municipality, which will correspond
to the county commissioners in our
state and losses will be adjusted by
men appointed by the hail insurance
board. On the first of September
each year the rate of insurance will
be adjusted the same as we fix our
tax rate here, and the tax is col
lected sufficient to cover the loses
OF the year. This is added to the
tax assessment before the notices

enough money collected to cover |
actual loses and some besides to |
create reserve fund for future
losses. Any farmer who does not
want to carry hail protection can
by serving notice on the
secretary of the. municipality. We
the word municipality to
mean a division corresponding to
the township or precinct in the
United States.
They think the plan is now re-
duced to such basis that farmer
can have protection at actual cost
and no profit is collected for any of
The officials, who simply draw salar-
les for their work.
The fire insurance has been
handled by number of local mu-
;ual companies and an effort is being
made to combine it into large COM
)any to cover the province. There
s a difference in the farmers at
itude toward hail insurance and fire
insurance. II claim is placed for
lail insurance it is never charged
hat the claimant had anything to
10 with starting the hail, but in
many cases Of loss by fire that
charge is made and for that reason
men are not so loyal to a mutual fire
insurance as they are to mutual
lail insurance.

70-HEN EGG FACTORY
AS BACKYARD VENTURE.

The illustration above shows
an intensive backyard poultry
plant which is making a very i'm
portant food contribution to a
nation that needs more eggs and
poultry flesh. Practically the en-
tire backyard is occupied by
houses and covered runs and
about 20 hens ere carried. Each
house is 6 by IA feet and is divid-
ed into 2 pens with a covered
yard Of the same size. There
are about Is hens to a pen. The
houses are raised from the
ground so that the hens can run
under them and the soil in the
runs Is renewed four times
year. A flock Of Ii hens In one
OF these pens laid 2,183 eggs in
year. Oats are sprouted for
green feed in the cellar of the
dwelling house Of the owner.
Chicks, too, are raised. in this
basement.

Be A Soldier-In Thought
At Least

In these times, when anybody
says, "be a soldier, we think
they mean join the U. S. Army
and go to France.
But here is different thought
about it:
Many words have a descrip-
tive meaning derived from their
constant application to a certain
thing.
If you call a man a ''hog" eve
erybody knows at once what you
mean. If you say certain per-
son acts like a monkey" you
may have described him in one
word a great deal more fully and
more accurately than you could
by any long description of other
words.
Now, do you get me, when l
tell you to be Soldier.
A soldier is a man who has one
object in life and who devotes all
he is rnd has to it. He IS not
fighting for himself alone, but
for you and for me. He sacri.
fees himself for the good of us
all. He suffers any privation
necessary without complaining.
He takes all the risk of being
wounded or killed as a part of
his days work.
You, sitting at home ia safety
and comfort, complain because
the government finds it neces.
sary to tax your income or your
property more than it did in
times of peace. You complain
because you have to work little
harder, now that so many who
used to help you are required in
the military service. You COM
plain because you cannot do the
things or have the things that
you could before all the world
went to war.
For heavens sake Be a sold
ierl
Fight on the home line, if you
can't on the front. Sacrifice
your selfish desires for the good
of all. Suffer the little prlvations
without complaining. Cheer.
fslly take the risks of losing a
few pleasures or a few dollars
for hvlnanity's sake, without let
ting out the whine that shows
you up as coward and a Stacker
