PARADISE OF CHILDHOOD"

From Mrs. C. r. B., Washington.
A good many years ago in kinder
garten normal school we used a
book entitled Paradise of Child
hood" My copy was given away
long ago, but now am very anxious
to obtain another copy Of this
book. 1t was published by Milton
Bradley Company. but is now out of
mint

n field is being fed. and in view
of the conditions which have been
revealed through the drilling of
wells west, south and east ana Inc
thick sands which have been en-
countered to the north. 1t Is my
opinion that the mother pool
is the feeding source of the
Pickens field in the urea to the north.
In TINS section there are several
major companies and Independents
VINO no doubt would concur with
me in this opinion-Sinclalr, Gull,
Carter, Magnolia, H. l.. Hunt and
others of this area. In view of the
fact that oil. gas and saltwater have
all been encountered in this section,
there is positive evidence OF closure,
and YOU have to have closure before
you can have oil or gas IN CONNER
cial quantities.
Il could go on for pages and cover
many additional details pertaining
to this field, but I do not know OF
anything of importance that could
add to the picture more than the
wells which have been encountered
by companies IN there and the ac-
cepted picture it all holds in our
economic life. Some refer to oil as
a gamble, but with our modern me-
thodS of radar, RADIO and SelSmo-
graph, l do not consider oil any
more of a gamble than perhaps any
other business. ! feel that all OF
those who have had IN opportunity
to associate themselves in this de-
velopment have an excellent chance
of enjoying a big return, and it Ices
not make any difference how may
fields are brought in or how big
they are, unless we are in on them,
there is little remuneration that we
can hope to obtain. With the wells
that are in, the companies that own
acreage in this area, the develop
ment that is in progress, the gamble
on the deal is not you and l, but
the one who is betting that Gulf,
Magnolia, Sinclair, Carriers, and
others do not know what they are
doing, I for one had rather bet with
companies than bet against them.
'sWith. the two wells going down,
the one on the Gulf acreage and u
lease which joins Gulf, and both
wells being north of the field, it
looks as if the Mother Pool is about
to be tapped"

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 l949 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. a..
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 admins
tered by personnel directly respon-
sible to the Crop Insurance corpora
ton, FCIC has established its own
office in the county under 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.
"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 194S
crop.
The policy continues to cover all
unavoidable causes of loss, such as
weather, insects and plant diseases,
offering a business proposition of
protection of a 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
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1948-09-16

whether this protection can be pro-
vided at a lower rate than at present
or vice versa. In effect, the Crop In
surance Program provides the farm
ers in a County the machinery
through which to protect their crop
investments against loss from auses
which they cannot control.
