All Wheat Crop
Insurance Must
Be In By Aug. 81
Dead Line Leaves 8 Days
For County Farmers To
Get "All Risk" Plan

Winter wheat growers in Mont
gomery county have only 9 days
left to get "all-risk" insurance on
their 1941 crop, warns 0. w. An
derson, county agent. August 81
is the closing date this year for
winter wheat growers everywhere
and no applications or premium
payments will be accepted after
that date, even if the crop has not
been painted.
Mr.. Anderson commented that
not only wheat farmers in Mont
gomery county, but thousands of
growers in all wheat areas of the
nation have begun to consider the
insuring of their wheat crop as a
regular part of farming operations.
Although the best of care in
preparing the seeded, the use Of
high-grade seed, and other APP
proved practices are of great inn
portance," he said, "an the care
in the world will not prevent de-
struction of the crop through haz-
ards beyond the control of the
grower. Thus, growers now con-
slider it good business to protect
the wheat crop with an insurance
contract in order to be sure of
some wheat to sell every year."
"The requirement that all insur-
ance contracts on 1941 winter
wheat be completed before the Au-
gust 81 deadiine is to the advan-
tage of insured growers as a
whole, I" Mr.. Anderson said. "Appli-
cations must be- filed and premi:
ums paid before the crop is planted
in order that all growers will be
on the same basis with regard to
the prospects of the crop. This
uniformly established cutoff date
limits 'all-risk' insurance to grow
ers who get their contracts COM
pleted before the start of the nor
NAL planting season."
