> STORAGE PROBLEN INCROPINSURANE Warehousemen Confer Here on How to Save for “Lean” Years. By the Assoclated Press. Representatives of the warehouse industry today conferred here with the Administration Committee which now is drafting a Federal crop insur- ance plan, presenting suggestions on methods for storing crops from “fat” to “lean” years. Eighteen spokesmen for the industry that now stores wheat, cotton, corn and other farm products discussed technical problems with Secretary Wallace and other members of the group asked by the President to formulate an all-risk crop insurance plan for suggestion to Congress. ‘Wallace's plan calls for paying crop insurance premiums and losses in kind. For example, a farmer would pay a certain amount of wheat in good *crop years and receive wheat back in poor years. Both the President and Wallace in- dicated that the stored commodities should be held so as not to burden the markets. Agricultural economists have point- ed out that this will be an immense technical job because it probably will call for more storage facilities than exist at present. Yields of wheat in recent years have varied several hundred million bush- els. Difference in corn yields have been near the billion-bushel mark while cotton production has varied several million bales. If the government is to store a size- able part of these annual crops be- tween the bumper and poor years, huge storage facilities will be required. Wallace has expressed confidence that this technical angle as well as the problem of transporting stored com- modities between various sections can be solved. After conferences yesterday with a score of insurance company repre- sentatives now interested in crop in- surance, the Agriculture Secretary said he had been assured their co-operation. Meanwhile, enactment of “some kind of farm tenancy legislation” at the next session of Congress is viewed | as a certainty by Chairman Jones, Democrat, of Texas, of the House Ag- riculture Committee. He said the measure approved “prob- ably will differ materially” from the Bankhead-Jones bill for financing farm purchases by tenants, which failed of passage in the last session. MISS ALICE T.
