Crop Insurance
Should Be Bought
Now, Says FCIC

Montana farmers, if they wan
all-r1sk insurance protection from
the Federal Crop Insurance Cor
poration, had better apply nov
or they'll be out in the cold.
In fact, said Earll H. Nikkel
washington, D. c. director O
FCIC's sales and servicing di.
vision, Were trying to heir
farmers build an insurance Oh.
Grafton for their own protection
We are not in the business o.
distributing relief to those who
don't want to pay for insurance
protection except by getting il
deducted from an indemnity
check"
The move is afoot, Nikkel made
abundantly clear, to sell the in
surance not only in the pros
pectlve bad years but in the good
years as we'll.
He told state officials. "We
have a big business in Montana.
We don't intend to jeopardize
1t now or any time in the future
by taking on a lot of new business
that comes to us because farmers
can feel crop disaster almost
breathing on the backs of their
necks. We have thousands of
pollcyholders in this state who
carry crop insurance as a sound
business protection. They know
that farming is a good business
and as good businessmen are pro-
tecting their investment with all
risk crop insurance.
"We r going to look out for
their best interests which means
that we only want to increase our
volume Of business with more
holders like them who
take out insurance and keep it
IN force for protection.
That means we are going to
watch the situation in Montana
very closely and could cut off the
acceptance of new applications at
any time in any county. We give
(the farmer) no guarantee that
will keep the offer open until
ne gets so worried that fear in
stead of good judgment sends
am to our local agent to apply
.or insurance.
I'm 1855, we had an insurance
liability of nearly $25, 900, 900 in
Montana.
Farmers who can get
lll-rlSk federal crop insurance
should take it, but I don't think
hat they should expect to have
ne opportunity to take it just in
nose years when they think the
,dds are in favor of them get
ing an indemnity check" he con
.luded.

c. Of Commerce
Reviewing Budget
Bureau System

The Bureau System or alloca-

able opinion of the Sidney Cham
Der of Commerce Board of Di-
rectors. The board requested adj
ditional study for presentation
during a December meeting and
to include special drives into the
regular Chamber budget.
The system is actually simple
and permits individual Chamber
members to set their own assess
ment in their group after deter
mining each groups percentage
share of the overall budget. The
percent Of budget can be based on
actual percentages being paid
from a national survey of over
200 Chambers of Commerce.
After setting up the various
groups or bureaus, their indivi-
dual group meetings could be held
so that the program of work
budget need and percentage share
could be presented. That groun
Of business firms would then
work out their individual assess
ment and share of the BUDGET
The plan is becoming quite pop
ular throughout the United States.
A discussion was held on pur-

their desire for consideration to

Fourth WidIife
Forum Tuesday

The fourth in a series of ten
Wlldlife management meetings
will be held next Thursday. 300
p. m. at the Moose hall. This
session will again be conducted
by Eldon Smith of the State Col
lege and will cover "Principles
OF Water Fowl MANAGEMENT" A
special colored duck film will be
shown. The meetings are open to
every family member.
Session No. 4 will include MANY
slides besides the special duck
picture and Smiths discussion
Will cover the following.
The management of our water
fowl provides some UNIQUE prob
lens. Duck and geese do not re-
spect state or international boun-
DIARIES. A mallard may be pro-
duced in Canada, use the states
as a travel lane, and winter in
Mexico. Consequently, the duck
hunting we get in Montana NAV
depend upon the rainfall in AL
berta or the agriculture in Next
co. The perpetuation of the water
fowl is therefore an international
problem.
AdminiStratively, one of the
waterfowl headaches is
the establishment of hunting reg
ulationS- Each state naturally
wants as long a season as pos
slble during the period when the
ducks can be expected to be in
the state. Some states provide i'm
oortant breeding grounds, some
.wlntering areas, while others con-
tribute very little to the water
-oWl resource. Yet when hunting
seasons r established. hunters
n each state theoretically expect
o be given the same opportunity
or bagging their share of the
waterfowl. The survey work and
procedures involved in estimat-
ng waterfowl populations and es-
abllshing hunting seasons will be
discussed in detail in this session..
The place of the refuge in
waterfowl management, the effect
+ agricultural drainage on water
owl habitat, and some peculiari-
les of the harvest of ducks will !
e considered. Waterfowl research /!
4 recent years has made impor- !
ant contributions to our know |
edge of the mechanics of man
ging waterfowl. The major con-
ributions from this source will !
outlined and their practical !
pplication to the management
illustrated.

From November ct to Dec I

34th annual All Club Congress-
l was a delegate from the state
OF Montana as a state winner in
the achievement program.
This past week has been the
most interesting of my Al ac-
tlvlties and it was quite an honor
TO be selected to attend this Ma
tlonal All Club Congress in +he
city of Chicago as a delegate
among 1900 All members.
About a month ago the conn
" agent told me I was to attend
National Club Congress and I was
taken very much by surprise as
II was the award 1 had dreamed
Oh winning, but didn't expect to
get for sometime, if ever. It has
really been quite an honor to
represent Montana at this Con-
gress.
We had the best of entertain
ment while in Chicago as nearly
all OF the time we had something
doing or some special show being
put on for us by a All donor.
These donors gave no less than
ten dinners for all of the dele
gates, leaders, and guests. We
were entertained by the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, w. H. S..
National Barn Dance, Purdue
Glee Club, a horse show at the
International Livestock Show and
various other smaller groups and
famous individuals. These were
all Of the best of talent from all
over the U. S. A. and all parts of
he world. These donors went to
lot of work and expense to
provide this entertainment these
arge dinners and banquets, but
most of all they provided for
scholarships and awards for the
rational and regional winners.
Every minute of the day was
damned for us as we toured mu-
Gums; aquariums, Marshall
IeId's, the worlds largest depart
nent store; and the city of Chi
ago itself. Marshall Fields was
eally something for me to see as

it was much larger than anv
ore / had ever been in.
My trip was sponsored by Sears

elegates are very grateful for
work of these donors il. spon-
'ring u awards.
we were entertained by many
bod speakers and distinguished
tests who included Secretary
Agriculture Benson and many
her well known people.
The Montana delegations con-
sted of 25 state winners. 7
