DEADLINE ON
CROP INSURANCE
AUGUST 81

ZEMAN.-Montana winter wheat
growers who wish to take out crop
insurance insuring their 1941 wheat
crop against all unavoidable hazards
must do so before the closing date
Of August 81, F. H. Richardson, acting
chairman of the state Triple-A COM
mittee, said at Bozeman today.
County committees in all winter
wheat growing counties in the state
are ready to accept applications and
premium payments for 1941 crop in
surance. Yields and premium rates
have been determined for all Montana
wheat farms so that all growers have
to do is fill out an application form
and indicate the acreage to be seeded,
Richardson, who is also in charge of
the Montana crop insurance program,
continued. Upon payment of the
premium and acceptance of it by the
Federal Crop Insurance corporation,
the seeded acreage is insured to pro-
duce so to rs percent of an average
crop.
Payment of premium may be made
by several methods, Richardson said.
Last year in Montana the most popu-
lar one was payment by advance on
payments to be earned through par
ticipation in the 1910 Agricultural
Conservation program Over 80 per-
cent of policies taken out in Montana
in 1910 were paid by advances. Rich
ardson expects that this method of
payment will be the most popular one
under the 1941 program.
Other methods of premium payment
are by warehouse receipts for the ac-
tual amount of wheat or with check
or cash for the amount of the pre-
MUM based on the market price of
wheat at the time the policy is taken
out, Richardson stated.
THE important thing to remember
this year" Richardson warned, sis
that the 1941 winter wheat crop can
not be insured after August 81" This
deadline applies to the entire state
and all other winter wheat states. The
closing date for spring wheat insur-
ance is February 28.

MORTGAGES
ON FARMS
INCREASING

| The amount of farm mortgages go
ing on the books at public record
offices throughout the United States
has turned slightly upward after a
5-year decline.
Farm mortgage recordings, repre-
senting both new borrowing and old
debts refinanced, aggregated 1928, 000,-
600 in 1889, it is estimated The fig
ure is about 1 percent higher than
| the estimate for 1898.
The slight recent increase in the
total volume of recordings was due
primarily to increases in financing
by the federal land banks, insurance
companies and commercial banks.
The decrease during the 1934-38 peri
cd resulted largely from the declining
volume of federal land bank and com
missioner loans during those years.
Most of the other farm mortgage lend
ers increased their recordings.
The federal land banks and Com
missioner put $79,OOO,0O0 of mortgages
on the books last year; individual
lenders, 1927 100000; commercial
banks, $218,O0O,G0O; insurance COM
panies, $138,OOO,OOO; and miscellane-
GUS creditors, $67O0O,O0O.
The recording figures indicated that
farm mortgage financing has in
creased substantially in recent months
in most of the eastern and southern
states; and has been somewhat lower
in most of the mid-western and west
ern states. The largest increase in
1889 compared with the preceding
year was in West Virginia where re-
cordings were sc percent greater; and
the most conspicuous decrease was
one of " percent in North Dakota
The Notwithstanding data show
a definite trend toward institutional
lenders In 1884 individual creditors
were writing nearly half of the total
recorded by private credi-
tors; today only little more than
third. While individual creditors have
scarcely maintained their 1884 volume
of financing, commercial banks have
doubled theirs, and insurance COM
panies more than tripled.
The size of farm mortgages re-
corded during 1889 in counties report
ing to the Farm Credit Administration
averaged $3.50, or slightly larger
than in 1888.
Loans closed by the federal land
banks in 1889 averaged $3.50 or
percent larger than during 1888, while
land bank commissioner loans closed
some are second mortgages
aged $1,660 or 500 smaller Farm
by insurance companies as |
in the preceding years averaged |
largest for any class of lender, S5,- |
1870, which was $40 smaller than the
average size reported in 1888. Re- +
by individual lenders, CON-
nercial banks, and miscellaneous"
lenders averaged $1,720, $1,000 and
$4,000, in the order named, with all |
.hree groups showing increases over
1898.

Clark is a Wall Street lawyer, Holt
charged, whose wife evaded payment
of 100000 in income taxes. Organ,
he charged, during the last war spoke
of the necessity of countering fears
in soldiers by pistols in the hands
of officers.

Holt, while Patterson is his assistant
Adler is general manager of the New
York Times while Budd, according to
Holt is director of the North British

said Holt, is financially interested in
aircraft.
Holt was given surprising hand
from the usually passive galleries
when he concluded and the presiding
officer had to admonish the galleries
on several occasions to refrain from
expressing themselves.
Minton, by way of answer to Holt,
charged Holt came from a Stacker
family and that his father had told
people not to raise food for American
soldiers In a highly emotional state
Minton concluded with a description
of what he and his son would do if
tn etime ever came when the U. S.
entered the war.
Highly indignant, Holt rose to Min
tons attack, declaring that he did not
know what inspired Mintons emotion
but that he had observed him making
frequent trips to the cloakroom.
Hollis, Holt said, have been in every
war in the history of the U. S. The
charge that his father opposed raising
food for u S. soldiers was 'malici-
Gus lie" made during the hysteria of
the last war by a superintendent of
schools who declared that "old Doc
Holt should be lined up against wall |
and shot until his blood ran over the
walls"
There has never been a time when |
the administration wants a dirty, low |
job done that it hasn't been able to |
get the senator to do it." Holt yelled,
looking at Minton.
IF he had a spark of manhood in
him he'd look up the facts and apollo
gize on the floor of the senate" he
continued.
Whenever a man stands up and
fights this crowd he's smeared," Holt
shouted.

| Pres. Chas. E. Corcoran of the
Brockton chamber of commerce wired
protests to the navy's paymaster-gen
eral, Sen. David l. Walsh 3D., Mass.)
and Rep Richard B. Wigglesworth (R.,
Mass.)
At the price paid to the Herman
company, Corcoran said, many fac
tories in Brockton and the Brockton
district would gladly accept such or
ders with guarantee Of finest shoe
making.
"If the navy department now in
tends to place orders over the tele-
phone" he added, I'VE want to know
it here in the Brockton area.
These navy shoes can be made in
any one of several local factories and
in justice to our unemployed shoe
workers Brockton should have some
of this business if it is going to be
passed around in this way"
Other anti-union firms which have
benefited from government contracts
are the International Shoe Co., Is or

to $4,500,000, the Brown Shoe Co., six
orders amounting to $1,196,000, and
the General Shoe Co., two orders
amounting to $262,000
These contracts were let between
the time Of the passage of the Walsh

The conflict, however, was between
two rival groups within the newly
formed Civil Service Union.
One group wants full union rights,
the other, the old-time political ap
pointees, wants no outside interior
ence with their relations with polit-
ical wardheelers. The aim of the
civil service union statute was to
eliminate the latter seryile group.

product of the heated imagination of

unions speedily recognized the need

WAGE-H0UR
EXEMPTION
ON ELEVATORS

Objections filed to the granting OF
a 14-week seasonal exemption to coun
try, sub-terminal, terminal and mill
grain warehouses, have stayed the
final determination, Colonel Philip B.
Fleming, administrator of the wage
and hour division, announced today
The objections were filed by local
unions of the Flour, Cereal, Feed Mill
and Grain Elevator Workers, and by
the American Federation of Grain
Professors Council - both affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor.
Administrative regulations provide
a 15-day period for objections to this
type of determination. The determi-
nation would have decome final Aug
TO- The determination was a prima
facie one made on the basis of state
ments presented by the National
Grain Trade Council and the Millers
National Federation.
The DIRECTORS contend that the bur-
den of seasonal peak loads In the
grain elevator business is carried on
by country elevators which serve as
first receiving points for 1917 of the
grain later handled by the Terminal
elevators. A majority of those coun-
try elevators are probably exempt
from both the wage and hour provi-
sions Of the act under the 'area of
production" provision. The DIRECTORS
also state that the would-be exempt
elevators have been operating with
two shifts = thereby eliminating any
necessity for overtime payment.
Inasmuch as this years grain re-
ceiving season will be passed before
a decision can be issued based upon
a hearing at which both applicants
and DIRECTORS will have an opportun-
ity to present evidence, the hearing
will not be held until fall 1t is
