PRICES STILL GROWING Washington, Dec. 24—(#)—The la- ‘THUKSVDAY, DECEMBEK 24, 1936 Premiums on Crop Insurance Figured Tentative Scale to Be Paid Farmers Participating Is Anno:.iced Washington, Dec. 24. — (®) — The president's committee on crop insur- ance proposed a tentative scale of premiums to be paid by farmers voi- untarily subscribing to the suggested plan in each wheat growing region. A farmer insuring his 1938 crop under the proposed plan, applicable only to wheat, could protect himself against losses ranging from 50 per cent to not more than 75 per cent. Premiums, the report suggested, should be based on the average acre- age yield of individual farms from 1930 to 1935. The rate of premiums payable by the grower, was based on the average acre yield in indivdual counties. For example, in Walsh county, North Dakota, the committee set the average yield, based on 1930-1935 pro- Guction, at 10.61 bulshels. Thus a Walsh county farmer could expect @ yleld of 10.61 bushels per acre and in- sure his crop on that basis. Premium Figured If, because of drouth the crop was cut in half and he had insured up to the limit of 75 per cent of the*ex- | pected yield, he would be reimbursed for the difference between his pro- duction and the amount of his insur- ance. The premium in this instance would be .882 bushels, or the equiva- Jent in cash, The range of premiums per acre in various states include: North Dakota 50 per cent insur- ance .304 bushels for 10.61 bushels yleld up to 1.371 bushels for 1.79 bushel yield; 75 per cent .774 bushels for 637 bushel yield up to 2.257 bushels for 7.79 bushel yield. Here is the federal crop insurance committee's explanation of how its proposed wheat insurance plan would work: Applies For Policy “At or about the time of seeding, & wheat farmer, if he desired could ap- ply to his local committee for a crop insurance policy. The committee would determine from past records af his farm the amount of insurance in bushels per acre to be granted, and the premium to be charged. “The committe would check the acreage planted and the quality of land in wheat as compared with land that had been in wheat in base (pre- vious) years. Immediate payment of the premium would not be required if @ lien on the crop or other security were given.” * In case of complete loss, the com- mittee said, “adjustment would be made as soon as such loss has been satisfactorily established. In case of partial loss, adjustment would not be made until after the crop hees been harvested and production deter- mined.” WILLIAM PAUL, 47, WILTON MAN, DIES Rites for Father of Four to Be| Held at Underwood Sun- day Afternoon William Paul, 47, Wilton, son of Mrs. Richard Schwartz and a brother of Arthur F. and H. E.

All But One of 71 Secondary Institutions in State Sub- mit Report Forty-nine North Dakota members of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools were recommended for “unqualified ap- proval” by the North Dakota com- mittee, 8. T. Lillehaugen of Bismarck, state chairman, announced Thurs- day. Action of the state committee was announced by Lillehaugen, in charge of secondary education for the state department of public instruction fol- lowing a meeting at Fargo Friday when reports from each of the schools in the association were reviewed. Of the 71 North Dakota high schools which are members of the association, all but' one submitted their annual reports, Lillehaugen reported. * Nine schools showed low library ex- penditures, six reported heavy teach- ing loads, two heavy pupil loads, and four disclosed miscellaneous irregu- larities for which schools may pos- sibly be advised or warned at the annual meeting of the association in Chicago April 7 to 10, it was re- ported. Members of the North Dakota com- mittee are, besides Lillehaugen, C. C. Schmidt, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks; B. C. B. Tighe, Fargo high school, and J. H. Colton, Minot, advisory member. This committee handles only mat- ters pertaining to secondary schools while another separate group reviews reports of the state's institutions of higher education, DROUTH, NOT GUNS, WORST BIRD ENEMY Heavy Waterfowl! Mortality in State Largely Due to Lack of Moisture The hunter's gun in recent years played but little part in North Da- kota’s heavy waterfowl mortality r but drouth caused wide-spread de- struction in bird ranks, M. O, Steen, state director of the biological survey, said Thursday. When hot winds dry up sloughs and marshes a mother duck and her brood are left “fiat footed.” Young ducks, still unable to fly, die for lack of water, and the parent birds perish when they are forced to start out across the prairie in search of water, the director said. Drouth usually dries up the water holes at a time when parent birds are molting and are unable to fly af- ter losing prime feathers in their wings. They are helpless against predatory animals and other birds which prey upon them, Steen de- clared. Fargo, N. D., Dec. 24.—(P)—Mrs. | William Keen, 39, Walcott, N.

PRISON HUMS WITH ACTIVITY OF MAKING AUTO LICENSE TAGS Other Industries in Penitentiary Also Keep Prisoners G fully Working Rushed in their busy season, in- mates of the North Dakota peniten- tiary are hurrying to pour out thous sands of automobile license plates ang millions of pounds of prison twine. More than 135 prisoners are em- ployed in these two large penitentiary industries while the rest are gain- fully employed in other types of work including the prison dairy and farm, casket factory, greenhouse and menial labor. This season a crew of 25 men are “stamping” out more than 170,000 pairs of green and white license plates for the state motor vehicle de- partment to be distributed to North Dakota motorists. When pressure of license plate work subsides a dozen men average about 30,000 road signs annually. The plant was established in 1933 and North Dakota is one of 40 states which uses prison labor for license tag work, Sept. George L. Baska, said. The twine factory employs about ‘{100 men who average approximately 6,000,000 pounds of standard and manila twine annually for distribu- tion to northwest farmers. During summer months a large number of the 277 inmates now at thé prison are employed on the 1,200- acre prison farm and in the dairy. Prison labor is also used in making burial caskets and in the green- house where plants and shrubs are nurtured to beautify the penitenti- ary lawn. First construction on the peni- tentiary was begun in 1883 when Da- kota was a territory. Since that the legislative appropriations have been made to increase the size of the prison. Last changes were made several years ago when the cellhouse was enlarged and the inside area of the prison yard increased to make more room for the twine plant and other buildings. The city of Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, is thought to antedate even Ur and the ancient pyramids. BS > > future. 1899 193¢ OK A.W. LUCAS a COMPANY Extends to all the compliments of the season.
