indicate this company is not at all in
doubt about a good harvest. Crop in
surance that they are selling to farm
ers guarantees as much as 20 bushels
of wheat per acre on good land. Corn
and oats is being figured at from 30
to 40 bushels, depending on the sol
and the time Of planting. This is the
only company that insures against
such causese of crop failure rs droutf
excessive moisture, and disease anc
insects of all kinds.

handicapped by a serious illness, has
put in 80 acres of corn, 15 Of oats ano
thre of cane, the 48th crop he has put
in in as many successive years.

Farmers all over the county arr
feeling fine over the prospects fol
bumper crops. Wheat is turning rap
idly and in some sections of the coun-
ty will be ready to harvest the last Of

a better crop than early prospects
indicated.

Gulf of Mexico and the South Attain

trouble.
