storm is more a matter of luck than
anything else. The cruel thing about
hail is its unexpected and sudden ap-
pearance-also the fact that in ex-
IRENE cases it may visit the same To-
cality or even the same farm in two or
three successive years.
The chief means of alternating hail
damage is through hail insurance.
The risk can be eliminated somewhat
by diversification of the crops planted
and by the choice of hardy varieties.
In spite of these precautions however,
the hail is frequently severe enough
to destroy all growing crops. On this
account many of the farmers are get
ting in the habit of carrying some hail
insurance, at least enough to little
more than protect the labor invest
ment. 1t is quite a problem for the
farmers whether to increase the cost
of raising his grain by adding hail
insurance or to do without hail in
surance protection. An increasing
number are taking out hail insurance
because it eliminates a great deal of
the uncertainty existing until the
grain is cut and threshed.

San Antonio, Texas June l5.-One

Many of the readers of this paper
may not be familiar With the operation
of Montana State hail insurance so
few facts are given below.
All common grains grown in the
state including corn may be insured,
as well as peas and beans. Any hay
crop grown for seed purposes may be
insured under the same conditions as
grain and any grain crop grown for
hay may be insured as such.
The report of the department which
was recently issued shows that it has
distributed more than sl,140,000 to
the farmers on hail losses. This is
much larger amount than has been
paid out by any other hail insurance
agency during the last eight years.
Hail insurance with the State De-
partment must be applied for through
the assessor of each county.
Many people from the cities do not
appreciate the size of the risk which
the farmer carries from hail, however,
the fact that there is about ten times
as much danger of the farmer losing
his grain from hail as Of losing his
buildings from fire shows the import
ance Of the risk. Present indications
are that more hail insurance will be
written this year by the State depart
ment, and by the various agents writ
ing for the stock companies through
the state, than in any year since 1920.
The fields are all in fine condition and
are provided with plenty of moisture.

More Farmers Will Insure Against
Hail Damage This Summer.

The time of year is here when farm
ers begin to scan the heavens and
wonder whether the approaching
clouds contain rain or hail, or both.
Hail is phenomena Of nature over
which man has never been able to gain
control. Certain states and certain
localities are proven by records to
have more or less nail on the average
than others, but within these states or
districts there is great deal Of varia-
ton in severity and occurrence. Most
insurance writers now consider that

Pool as foolishness. Roelfs real work
in the shed was the making and mend

early spring plants. Whenever possible
Roelf neglected this dull work for some

would snatch Maartje's old shawl off
the hook, and swathed In this against
draughty chinks, she would read aloud
to him while he carved, or talk to him
above the noise Of his tools. Selma
was gay and volatile person. She
loved to make this boy laugh. His
dark face would flash into almost
dazzling animation. Sometimes Mart

come to the shed door and stand there
a moment, hugging her arms in her
rolled apron and smiling at them, I'M

Early In the winter Selma had had
the unfortunate idea of opening the
lce-locked windows at intervals and
giving the children five minutes of
exercise while the fresh cold air
cleared brains and room at once

On the Pool farm The winter work

with winter vegetables only once a
week now. He and Jakob and Roelf
were storing potatoes ana caopages
underground; repairing fences; pre-
pairing frames for the early spring
planting; sorting seedlings. 1t had
been Roelf who had taught Selma TO
build the schoolhouse fire. He had

He was trying not to appear pleased !;
to appear stolid and Dutch, like the
people from whom he had sprung.
Some Dutch sailor ancestor, Selma
thought, or fisherman, must have
touched at an Italian port or Spanish
and brought back a wife whose eyes
and skin and feeling for beauty had
skipped layer on layer Of placid Meth

High Prairie SWANS failed to find
Selma alluring. She was too small,
too pale and fragile for their robust
taste Naturally, her coming had
been an event in this isolated commu-
nifty. With no visible means of COM
munication news of her leaped from
farm to farm as fame leaps the gaps
in forest fire. She would have been
aghast to learn that High Prairie,
inexplicably enough, knew all about
her from the color of the ribbon that
threaded her neat little white corset
covers to the number of books on her
shelf. She thought cabbage fields
beautiful; she read books to that
dumb-acting Roelf Pool; she was
making over a dress for Maartje after
the pattern of the stylish brown
lady's-cloth 1hs wore (foolishly) to
school.
On her fifth Sunday in the district
she accompanied the Pools to the
morning service at the Dutch Re
formed church. Maartje seldom had
the time for such frivolity. But on
this morning Klaas hitched up the big
farm wagon with the double seat and
took the family complete-Maartje
Selma, Roelf, and the pig-tails. Roelf
had rebelled against going, had been
cuffed for 1t, and had sat very still
all through the service, gazing at the
red and yellow glass church window.
Selina's appearance had made quite
