Eye On Legislatures
At meetings Of the national
congress, usually one entire
day is set aside for discussion
by the Fieldmen's Section.
At annual meetings of the
state congresses, as at meet
ings of the national congress,
every year one particular
problem is emphasized as re-
quiring the special attention
of the congress.
In the last few years, the
question Of payment of a spe-
cial tax on dues collected by
fraternals from their men,
bers in states has been getting
high priority on the agenda.
So far, by close coopera-
ton, we have succeeded in
rcpulsing every attempt by
the various state legisla-
lures to force fraternals to
pay a tax on dues collected.
In some states, special
committees have been formed
for the expenses of which oul
Society has also contributed
it's proportionate share, tc

Dinars By The Millions
Many of us, who are in
terested in life insurance sta
tistics, often wonder how
many people in Yugoslavia
carry insurance on their lives.
This information is hard to
get, but at last we came upon
some statistics which, al
though meager, nevertheless
give us some idea of the a
mount of money paid out in
the country for life insurance
premiums.
The figures show that
total premiums paid out for
life insurance in 1856 a
mounted to 727 million di-
mars. This compares with
326 million paid out in 1852
and 80 million in 1948.
| The difference in the eight
years is astounding, showing
that the country has pulled it.
self up by the boot straps con-
siderably from the low of the
first postwar years.
Slovenes The Smartest?
Dividing the 727 millions
by the population of Yugosla-
via, we find that 43 dinars
was paid out in 1856 for life
insurance for every man, wo-
man and child.
But these figures show a
vast difference in various re-
publics of the country. The
largest amount per person
was paid in Slovenija - 135
dinars for each person.
Next comes Croatia,
where considerably less was
, paid - As dinars per per-
son. Serbia comes next
with 80 dinars, Crna Cora,
% dinars, Bosnia and Her
cegovina, 20 dinars, and
Makedonija is last with on
Iy IA dinars for each per-
son.
Taking these figures il
consideration, one would say
that the Slovenes are the mos
prosperous people in Yugo
slavia, or that they are more
insurance conscious than tn,
others. Perhaps a bit of each

100000 Canadians and
Americans.
These are the members of
fraternal groups that offer
members insurance. T h ir
rates are regulated by the in
surance commissioners in for
ty-eight states, five territories
and the District Of Columbia
in this country, plus ten pro-
vinces and the Dominion of
Canada itself.
They belong to some lis

Aid Association for Luthe-

They include such unusual

the Independent Order of

CFU Among The Elite
Like the regular insurance
industry, the fraternal groups
are experiencing a steady
growth in both members and
size of policies. The 81, ,11O

analysis of the field by The
Fraternal Monitor, a monthly
publication, added Isl, ,254
policy certificates during 1856
for total insurance sales of
81, ,419, 1890.
Greatest gains in insurance
in force during 1856 were
made by the Aid Association
for Lutherans with a net rise
of $135, 4O7,6 The Knights
of Columbus gained $87, $685.
208 and United Commercial
Travellers (accident insur-
ance) $67, 7,395,0OO. Altogeth-
er, sixty-four societies raised
their insurance in force by at
least $500,00O during the
year.

attain Fraternal Union of
America, the Oath largest
fraternal order on the
North American Continent,
in 1856 increased it's insur-
ance in force by $2,382,6O9.
Since its organization in
1894, the CFU has paid out
S48,4 ,458,799 in benefits to
beneficiaries of it's members
over a span of less than 63

UP CORN YIELD

Tar Heel corn farmers will be OBJ
serving yields when making their
selection for hybrid corn seed for the
1857 season. Over one million acres
in North Carolina were planted in
1856 to Blue Tag" certified hybrid
seed corn. This fact was one contribu-
ton to the record yield of Al bushels
per acre during the 1896 season.
John Rice, executive director, n. c.
Crop Improvement Association, says
when farmers make their selection
for 1857, they will know that blue
tag hybrid seed corn on the average
has yielded II bushels more per acre
than open-pollinated corn or crib"
corn that they had saved for their
hybrid fields. Farmers cannot reap
the benefit of increased yield and
other good characteristics of hybrid
corn If they plan open-pollinated or
what the plant breeder calls "F2
generation corn" The F2 generation
or crib corn is that corn produced
from planting hybridS for two years
without renewing their planting seed.
Farmres are realizing that each year,
they must return and purchase new
hybrid seed corn to cut their cost of
production of this major crop.
The price of blue tag hybrid seed
corn for one acre is only little over
81. For this 81 investment, a return
of II bushels more corn per acre
would result in a profit OF So 20 ..-
