Fire Insurance Now
Obtainabic For
Farm fi1Hsrs.

Inc feQ6rdl L!'lu l''''N
fire insurance for the
farmers. The deal is considered
one of the outstanding victories
of the farm loans system. over
10000 loans have been made IN
Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama, a few Of the borrowers
carry fire insurance. They are
enabled now to insure improve
ments, upon the report and valu'
ton of the bank appraisers.
"The bank has made an ar
rangement with the General
Agencies, Inc, Of Baltimore re-
presenting strong group of fire
insurance companies doing busi-
ness in this district" explained
T. D. Davis, president Of the
bank. "Under the contract fire
insurance is placed in this office
on the improvements of farmers
to whom we have made loans.
The insurance is up to the Dor.
rover. The rates will be about
the same as those Of local agents.
"Some years ago insurance
companies virtually retired fcom
| the rural field. The reasons are
isolation, lack of fire protection
and the character of the struc.
lures. Insurance was especially
difficult to obtain on mortgaged
property, many policies provi''lng
lfor cancellation as soon as Il
mortgage was placed. The bank,
from the very first saw the great
need for insurance protection,
and has won out after eighteen
months work. This victory
ranks with the title guarantee
contract in Importance. The
Halter reduces the abstract limit
to eleven years instead of COM
|pelling the tracing of titles back
Ito the original government
lpatents.
"The insurance deal bestows the
ldirect benefit of enabling the
farmer to increase his loan tx
cover his improvements. Tht
bank, on the other hans, viii
make loans upon insured imp 3ve
ments. The farmers will also b.
able to obtain insurance on build
|1ngs outside Of their loans. The
opportunity is strongly nrge'
upon them. The lack of it ha
worked hardship especially upor
the farmer making application
the bank will at once place tn
risk, taking the appraisers re-
Iport as a basis Of valuation.
