Cotton Insurance
Available To Farmer
Clemson. March. In years gone by
| when a farmer planted his cotton
crop, he hud no idea what his harvest j
would he? either as to yield or price,
hut tills state of uncertainty need no I
longer exist, says J M. Napier, intension
AAA agent. urging South
Carolina farmers to take advantage
of federal crop insurance.
Through federal cotton crop Insurance
the farmer can guarantee himself
the equivalent of a minimum yield
of r>n to 75 tier cefct of his normal
yield in the most disastrous of crop
years; and through the cotton loan
program he can guarantee himself a
price of not loss than DO per cent of
tyirily. Mr. Napier explains. it has
been only recently that the federal
government has offered to cotton
fanners this opportunity, security and
ease of-niiijd
Federal cotton crop insurance i*
protection against loss from all unavoidable
hazards, including drought,
insects, disease, flood, wind, storm,
hail and lire. Crop damages from J
| unavoidable loss of labor after tlm
,i
planting of The crop may also constitute
a hazard.
The insurance contract may he ps^iuiwd
as collateral with hanks or
otlwr leading agencies for current
produc turn loans or advances Sharecroppers
may insure their interest in
?he crop, and if the owner makes
crop production advances, he may
take an assignment of the croppers'
insurance contracts.
The average cost of federal cotton
I crop insurance in South Carolina is
approximately the equivalent of four
pounds of lint cotton per acre for a
| 50 per cen^"coverage, and approximately
20 pounds for a 75 per cent
coverage.
Cirowers who are Interested in federal
cotton crop insurance should
make their application before planting
or before the final closing date for
acceptance of applications for their
country. Each county AAA office will
give public notice of the closing date,
which in no case will he later than
April 1.

(Continued from page 1)
fine publicity you gave us and also
your wonderful cooperation in our
work. .Let me extend my sincere
thanks and to assure you that your
kindness will always be remembered."
Mayor F. NT. McCorkle, who has
taken an active part in the securing
of the Lanham fund for the carrying
on of a recreational center project
is hopeful that the Washington
authorities will give early approval of
the Camden application. Mayor McCorkle
has a deep-seated appreciation
of the fine work that was done by
Mrs. CJaskin and Mrs. Bell.
Last Saturday and Sunday the center
was crowded with men in uniform,
who enjoyed the games and other
recreational features offered. It is
pointed out that the center will be
greatly missed by the many hundreds
of visiting service men who spend
the week-ends in Camden.
