LAND BANK
TO INSURE
CROP HERE
Offer Made to Planters Taking
Advantage of Government
Wheat Loan; Action
By Owens.

That the Federal Land Bank al
Wichita, Kan, will insure to the eX
tent of $400 per acre, all wheat
acreage planted with money from
federal loans, unless the asreage has
been insured by the planter was
the contents of a letter received this
morning by j. w Owens, county
agent.
The letter received this morning
by the county agent from the federal
bank reads as follows:
This bank is directed to insure ito
the extent of four dollars per acre
all seed grain loans in Kansas and
Oklahoma, policies effective May
tenth.
Borrowers, however, have until
May lst to exercise their option to
insure as specified in mortgage, but
those so insuring must notify this
bank by that date, as there will not
be double insurance.
Borrowers may also, if they de-
sire, obtain concurrent insurance for
any amount above four dollars per
acre acceptable to the companies to
which applications are made.
The insurance obtained by this
bank will be through three or more
standard companies and in no case
will any but policies in standard
companies be accepted.
This is a matter of much vital
importance, and 1 urge that Grady
county farmers who purchased seed
with federal loaned money and who
have insured their crops, notify the
Wichita land bank at once" said
Agent Owens this afternoon.
The government is taking the
necessary steps to protect both the
treasury and the planter, and Grady
county farmers should give close CO..
