Improve 1910
Crop Insurance
Plan for Wheat

The crop insurance program for
1910 has been simplified and i'm
proved to make 1t easier for Ben
ton county wheat growers to get in
surance and more economical TO op-
crate the plan, according to Waldo
w. Skuse, county agent. The new
crop insurance program has just
been announced by the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation.
A recent amendment to the AAA
act, through which growers may OBJ
tain advances for premiums against
future payments to be earned in the
AAA program, will make 1t easier
for growers to insure their crop.
Spring wheat producers were able
to take advantage of this provision
before the closing date for taking
out insurance next year, but all
growers viii be able to pay prem
iums with advances on AAA pay
ments next year.
Another improvement In the crop
insurance program is the extension
Of the period on which yield and
loss data are based. Data from the
crop years 1896. 1897 and 1888 will
be used, now making the base period
from 1890 through 1893. This per
nod, blended with a l3-year base for
the county In which the farm is To-
Gated, will tend to smooth out the
effects OF unusual losses. 49,
The procedure for handling insur-
ance has been simplified so that the
Insurance will be written In one op-
Grafton at the time the application
is filed. More Of such work as es-
tablishing yields and premium rates
will be done in the counties.
The new program also provides
that when q producer has recently
adopted improved farming meth
DDS. such IS summer fallow or irri-
cation. which will materially In
crease his average yields and reduce
risks involved. a special practice
procedure may be applied. to give
due weight to the use Of improved
methods in premium rates and In
surable yields.
Except for these improvements.
says Mr.. Skuse, the 1910 program is
essentially the same as the 1899 crop
insurance plan. 49,

reinforced by the arrival Of jay
O'Keefe and q helper, who came up
from Pasco to try and save the pow
er line to Tauton. Fast work with
spring tooth harrow hitched to
the back of a truck, kept the fire
from spreading to the camp itself
and the power lines, but some old
shacks in the path of the flames
and many of the Reclamation survey
stakes were destroyed.
The average motorist who Is not
acquainted with the possibilities Of
this range land, would see no harm
in throwing out match or lighted
cigarette, but in this case, it has
cost range owners several thousand
dollars, and anyone who would
carelessly or Intentionally start such
a conflagration, should be punished
to the full extent of the law.
While the attention of most Of
the townpeople was turned on the
fire across the river. the old house
belonging to the farm of the late
Hagebert Eilerton, now the proper

by fire of undetermined origin.

The 10Th Annual Field Day at the
Irrigation Branch Experiment sta
ton, near Prosser, on Thursday,
July 9th marks twenty years Of
progress in the experimental pro-
gram Of that station, according to
H. p. Singleton, superintendent.
Twenty years ago. after the funds

seeing and discussing the various
projects relative to the many prob
liens Of irrigation agriculture that
are under investigation.
U. s. Department Helps
The program of the station has
not been carried by state funds
alone. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture through sever
al agencies that are cooperating with
the Irrigation Branch Experiment
station has made it possible to great
ly broaden the field Of service for
the station.
A number Of the projects that can
be seen on field day or will be dis
cussed are: forage crops, grain
crops, soils and fertilizers, varieties
of trees and small fruits, varieties of

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR FISH MARKET
PLANS FOR SURPLUS COM
MODITIES CORPORATION
ALMOST COMPLETE

IF the plans of the Surplus
Commodities Corporation go
through-and it looks as though
there were no doubt but that
they will-the market for Key
West fish will soon pick up and
remain steady, said Secretary
Singleton of the Chamber of
Commerce this morning as he
showed to The Citizen a letter
from Oscar Johnson. secretary to
Senator Claude Pepper.
The letter states:
THE fish bill will be admins
tered by the Surplus Commodities
Corporation and its administration
Will require no additional per-
sonnet beyond what is already set
zap for program which is the pur7
chase of surplus farm commodi-
ties 10 which the item of fish has
been added.
The Chamber of Commerce has
received. through the courtesy of
the Florida State Chamber of
Commerce an extremely valuable

Of Municipal Corporations in
Florida, which, among other
matters, gives the dates of all acts
of interpretations for towns and

MAY BE LONG WAR

Major Powers now battling in
Europe are supplied with fold,
iron, oil and other materials of
modern conflict enough to last
them through a long war. Most
nations had begun to store them
up long ago and there are eco
nomic restrictions in effect in
those. countries at present. Great
Britain has food enough in all it's
districts to last three months
when it believes it can break any
blockade. Sixty per cent of its
food must come from outside but
it believes that its gold reserve
of more than one billion dollars
will keep its credit up. Germany
has all the economic wealth of
former Austria Hungary and
Czechoslovakia in her war ma
chine. Germany has huge stores
of materials both of natural pro-
ducts and especially of synthetic
materials, such as gasoline made
from coal. Crops were harvested
though with difficulty. Germany
has a poor gold reserve of $780,
100000. France depends on Eng
lands fleet to keep bringing its
supplies from colonial markets.
French wheat was normal and it
has the grains of Holland and
Belgium to fall back on. 1t may
face a labor shortage, though.
Poland has normal crops after a
5000, 900, 900 campaign to intensity
agriculture. Russia, the great
question mark, has everything
but rubber. Fresh finds of coal
and iron run far behind the pace
of exploitation. She has set aside
grain in the prospect of war.
