County, city, village and town.
ship assessors, at the time of their
regular assessment canvas, will al
SO make return of the number of
acres sowed or planted to crops
here named by each individal and
their return will be considered as
the true number of acres of crops,
unless the owner of the land or
renter, prior to June 1st, 1919, at
II o'clock noon files a sworn state
ment with the county auditor de-
scribing the number of acres in
crop and kind of grain.
Under this law the loss of crops
by hail will be paid to the owner
of the land, unless the renter first
sends his acceptance of the provi-
sions of the law in writing to the
county auditor; that is, that he
wants to carry the insurance.
The premiums will be collected
by the county treasurer as other
taxes are collected, but the whole
amount of insurance must be paid
in one payment.
| If you want the rate reduced to
one-half, you may do so by FL
ling a statement in duplicate to
that effect with your county audi.
tor before IL o'clock noon June
1st, 1919. In this case you will
pay but half rate, plus 10% of the
half rate, and you will receive on
ly one-half of the amount that you
would if you carried full insur-
ance. If another person shares
the crop with you, both of you
must make the statement.
If you do not want this state in
surance, you must file a statement
in duplicate with your county au-
ditor, asking for exemption, be-
fore IL o'clock noon June 1st,
1919. If another person is to share
the crops with you, then both of
Iyou must make the statement.
In case you suffer loss by hail,
you must promptly notify the
Hail Commissioner, Pierre, S. d,
within 4 days after the loss; other
wise you get no insurance, but
this period may, for good reasons,
be extended to 10 days, and the
Commissioner will send down ar
official adjuster. If you are no
satisfied with the official, you car
appoint a disinterested person wht
has no share in the crop. and i.
, not related to you; the adjuster al
, points one and the two appoint 1
, third person. The three will ad
just the loss.
All necessary blanks will be flu
nished by your county auditor il
r case you estimate your own acre
age; or if renter, you want to car
] ry this insurance; or if you wan
the insurance reduced one-half; o
if you do not want the insurance.
e Assessors will have these blank
3 with them and when they come a
a; round, they will give you any in
formation you desire, but desir
e must be known before June Is
r each year.
