now start planning on guaranteed m
come for 1911, Dr.. |. .. Schaub, dl-
rector Of the \. {. State College En-
tension Service. announced today.
In those counties growing wheat,
farmers will soon Begin signing APP
plications for "aIl-riSk" insurance ON
their 1871 crop. This is the third con-
secutive season that crop insurance
has been available TO wheat growers.
Each wheat grower will be notified
of his inSurabc yield and the pre-
MUM rate which applies to his l94l
crop, the Extension Service director
said. Yields and premium rates are
being revised 10 BRING the base pc
riod Of the insurance up to date by
including actual yields or losses rec
orded for each farm in 1889.
All the farmer has TO do, Dr..
Schaub explained, is to file an APP
plication with the county commit
tee and pay the, premium. This can
be done in one operation. The appli-
cation will cover the growers full
acreage allotment under the AAA
farm program. Should less than this
acreage be planted. Il proportionate
amount of the premium will be re-
funded.
Payment may be made with cash, a
warehouse receipt for wheat, or by
executing an advance against pay
ments earned under the agricultural
conservation program.
