[For Tbo Ledger, tic Farmers Protective Association. C Mr. Kditor: About a month CO I noticed a very suggestive ^ tide in your paper from the pen ? Mr. ?). Wren Tillman, one of t( oleaster's progressive farmers, '' ging the farmers of the county ? orguni/.o themselves into a pro- V ctivo association against ties- ^ \ uetive hail storms. It is a new ? ea, and coming from a praeti1 and successful farmer deserves ore than a passing thought. The increased prevalence of lil storms in various sections of c> e county from tune to tinio 11 akes it the duty of the farmers 11 consider carefully some plan r their mutual protection. I I is loured on u furni and a n in 11 II sympathy with any .novo- 11 iii?t which looks toward the prosrity of llio son's of toil who nn the very huckhono <?f our ^ nlization. We have heard a M imher of progressive farmers *( ?ciii8 this matter and write this '' tide at their suggestion. i Wo know of some farms which ve been damaged this year mora ? an a thousand dollars, and no ' ar passes without some farms f ing almost totally destroyed. 11 jarly all farmers who can do so -lire their buildings against fire d lightning. Why not insure VN eir crops. Usually they invest I their capital in one year's c cp, and if that crop is destroy- f by hail tho invested capital is ^ si and the farmer's energy and thusiasnPiu his business is scr- ^ nsly u fleeted. Neighboring farmers certainly ? vo a common intorost expressed 11 unexpressed. Thcro is a strong ^ >nd of union among all men on- ^ \ ged in tho same business. The " Hon mill men of the state have gam zed an insurance company ? r their mutual protection and 3 believe if the farmers would ^ gauize an insurance company e n^Rorintinn f.?r a ?VI IUU1I |'i UlUUllUIi J neticinl results would follow. L irtainly nothing would l>o lost u fair sind intelligent trial of the I1 periment is made. The possibility of fraud would v beyond the limits of debate. 11 le eost to each member of the i .. sociation would be a mere pitneo, and tho guaranteed protcc- ^ >11 would go a long ways toward 1 jvating and making certain the 0 isiness of farming?putting it i a basis equal with any other c isiness. '' Mr. Tillman's idea of requirg each member of the proposed 1 sociation to pay one dollar per n Off is a good one and tho dam- 1 e from a hail storm could bo v timated by neighboring mem- ? rs of the association. Some tter plan might be found if the v rmers would meet and discuss * c matter. I'1 Inasmuch as Mr. Tillman first 1 oposed the idea, we think it iuld lie well for him to call a 11 aeting of the farmers of the 11 unty in the near future and 1 us make a tost of tho interest I ^ o farmers may have in bringing J1 out some kind of protection 11 ;ainst losses which may occur P ireafter. It will take some Js no to get tho association on a I s m footing, but we believo if P1 e association is based on sound 11 I 5 isiness principles, a large num- P tr of our farmers would ioin and I1 a short tiule sufficient fundsP ould accrue so as to materially I' dp those seriously affected by 11 iil. |( We would like to hear from P hers on this subject.
