Weather Insurance
Takes Many Forms

Insurance against unfavorable
weather is issued in many forms
and is becoming an important
branch of the insurance business,
according to the weather bureau of
the United States department Of
agriculture. The oldest line of dis
tinctly weather insurance in the
United States is hail insurance on
growing crops. Kansas, North Da-
kota and Iowa lead in the use of
hail insurance, having half the
hail risks in this country, which
totaled $40,000,000 in 1924.
Windstorm and tornado insur-
ance premiums now amount to
more than $30,OOO.0O0 annually
Since the tornado near Lorain
Ohio, in 1924, and others in Illinois
and Indiana this year, the demand
for insurance protection against
windstorm damage has doubled
Some banks and mortgage com
panies now require windstorm pol
icies as we'll as fire policies before
making loans.
Rain insurance differs from 9th
er forms of weather insurance ii
that it does not cover property
damage. It is especially designed
for events or business enterprises
dependent on public patronagt
which would be greatly reduced IL
bad weather. A policy may covel
as short a period as three hours
time enough for a ball game,
track meet, a fashion show or al
exhibit. Fair managers and retail
stores advertising special sales fire
quentIy take out rain insurance fol
a single day.
Frost insurance for fruit trees is
the alternative to the cost an(
labor of orchard heating. 1t sci
dom pays to go to the expense O.
both. General crop insurance has
not yet become we'll established
but is practiced to some extent
Damage by lightning is usually in
cluded in fire insurance policies
Many freak policies are written
such as insurance against a cloudy
sky during an eclipse of the sun
or insurance against lack of snow
taken out in two instances-onc'
by motion picture company max
ing snow scenes and once by Tho
promoters of winter sports in Min
nesOta.
Rates for all these forms of in
surance are based on the records
of the weather bureau and pay
ments are made in conformity with
the indisputable facts furnished by
it.
