Farm Unit Bans
Crop Insurance

Directors of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau Saturday decided 1t
would be against their policy to in
dorse a plan to ask the govern
me nto insure all crops against loss,
holding that it would be too ex-
pensive and too much like subsidy.
They reached this decision after
hearing a report of meeting o.
Imperial Valley residents during
which a universal crop insurance
was advocated.
During a lengthy discussion the
farmers declared they would have
to pay the losses by the high premi-
ums and that crop insurance would
be IAN excuse for the government
to set UP anotehr costly bureau
with lot Of high salaried employees
and expensive offices"
Directors agreed tht if the hunt
ers want to keep the ducks so num-
erous that they destroy valuable
crops. the hunters should pay for
the loss not the farmers or the gov
eminent"
They endorsed all other phases
of a plan to get some relief from
the damage done to Imperial Valley
crops by the ducks and other migra-
tory birds.
