Crop Insurance Against
Losses, Explained

Servicing the 800 policies in
Holmes county providing Federal
Crop Insurance protection on the
1948 cotton crop and the accepting
of applications from additional eli
gible farmers for this all-risk in
surance on the 1949 crop will be
handled by an advisory committee
of three farmers with offices at Lex
ington, James S. Smith, Mississippi
State Director for the Federal Crop
Insurance corporation, announced
today.
Members of the Holmes County
FCIC Advisory committee are
James Chisolm of Pickens; Levi T.
Sheppard of Tchula and James E.
Cunningham of Tchula. They will
have Ray E. Johnson, County Crop
insurance clerk, on full time duty
in the county crop insurance office.
Previously the work has been
handled for the Federal Crop In
surance corporation by the County
AAA committee. In order that all
phases of the program be adminis-
tered by personnel directly respon-
sible to the Crop Insurance, corpora
ton, FCIC has establishing its own
office in the county 6ifder the
supervision of the committee of
three farmers, who are policy
holders. Similar offices have been
opened in the seven other Missis-
sippi counties in which cotton crop
insurance is being offered.
1--WE fully expect to- continue to
have the wholehearted support of
the State and County PIMA COM
mittee," Mr.. Smith pointed out "Our
understanding is that they decided
that it would be mutually advan-
tageous to both the AGA and the
FCIC set-up to have the work on
these two programs handled sepa-
rately since they did not feel that
the funds available for this work
would be adequate to cover the
expenses that they felt they must
incur if they agreed to accept the
responsibility for crop insurance
work"
The Crop Insurance Advisory
committee takes over the crop in
surance responsibilities with a new
type of insurance policy offered, and
opportunity for considerable ex-
pansion of the volume of program
participation. 1t is estimated that
there are abut $500 farmers and
landlords eligible to participate in
the program as contrasted with the
300 policies in effect on the 1948
crop.
The policy continues to cover all
unavoidable causes of loss, such as
weather, insects and plant diseases,
offering business proposition of
protection Of major portion of the
investment in producing the crop.
Premiums paid by farmers are
used only to pay indemnities. The
loss experience of a County will
determine over a period of years
whether this protection can be pro-
vided at lower rate than at present
or vice versa. In effect, the Crop In

Thief Takes New
buildinq Plan

A thief with an unexplainable
craving for construction plans
pilfered one Of the architects
original tracings Of the Bateman
building at the corner Of Kenne-
wick Avenue and Cascade Street
Tuesday morning between 10 and
II o'clock in the morning.
Rec McReynolds, Kennewick
contractor, in charge Of construc-
ton, described the offence as
grand larceny and warned that
the thief, II discovered, will be
prosecuted to the full extent Of
the law. Bob Goss, architect who
drew the plans; said that the trac-
ing would be Of no use to any
one, since 1t gives no clue as to
the type Of building to be erect
ed.
However, he noted, the theft
utilities several weeks Of en-
cheering work. Construction will
not be slowed, however.
Charles Bateman, owner of the
property, this week said that the
recent action Of the city council
in disappearing his request for
permission to build tavern on
First avenue, back Of the hotel
site, prevented his building of a
$3.50, 600 business property in the |
two locations.
The corner building now under
construction will have two stories,
ne said. The tavern will be on the
street level, and the second floor
Will be rented as office space.

Gary, Ind, - Approximate

nually in the United States

Invention, inspired by pat
ents, has made America the
largest user of canned goods

Today some $4,000 persons

Early American Indians pre-

Fifty days after the Feast
of Firstfruits, a new meal Of
fering was presented before
the Lord by the High Priest,
in the form of two wave
loaves.. These wave loaves
were to be "baken with leav-

Christ, the Son of God, could
it be said, 'There was no leav-

Feast of Pentecost applies to
the birth of the Church, which
took place fifty days after
