$4,000, while the whole amount paid
into the state hail insurance fund IS
$lS,S3S.45. Losses, states Thomas j.
Sheehan, the deputy In charge, Will be
adjusted on Il 65 per cent basis.
Hail losses have been reported from
go counties. Not more than half
dozen claims are Yet to come in, and
they have been es .imalcd and includ'
ed in the total. Cass county was the
biggest patron of the state hail de-
partment this year. An early hail
storm in the valley brought in brisk
food of business, and Cass county pa
irons paid in $4,000, or One-ninth or
the total for the state.
The premium is now 80 cents per
acre the state over, and this insures
up to IS per acre, where losses arc
paid in full. This year the depart
ment will pay a maximum OF $3.50 per
acre.
1.-THE present flat premium rate is
not fair to the department nor TO the
farmers" said Mr.. Sheehan today.
The losses in the valley always are
comparatively light. The harvest RISK
is in the central portion or IN" state
The western third usuaily ranks sec
Ond in losses. When oar state hali
insurance laws are roNampod, no

1t is probable that when the next
legislature, considers statewide hail
insurance under constitutions,

land tax which undoubtedly will be
approved at the polls in November.
this coming problem will be carefully
considered in fixing the rate of taxa
ton. 1t is also likely that the maxi,
mum insurance per acre will be in
creased to at least $l3, in view OF the
Increased value of the crop and the
enhanced costs of seeding and cult
waiting.
This years experience has been nor
NAL under the voluntary state hail in
surance plan, which never has been a
success in this state because the per-
Icentage has not been general enough.
