ammonlated mixtures, such as
4-1^0, e-14-0, 8-12m, 10-12-0 and
12-12-0. Such mixtures can make
use of nitrogen solutions to supply
part of the nitrogen.
Because of the shortage some
farmers .are using or planning to
use complete fertilizer mixtures for
top4ressing small grains, Mr.
Woodle points out, though they
would not follow this practice if
the usual nitrogen materials were
available. Such a practicle, if wide
ly followed, may cause a shortage
of complete mixtures for other
crops later this spring.
If complete mixtures are used
for top-dressing small grains, Mr.
Woodle suggests that farmers in
crease their seedlngs of • annual

small grains in order that full use

^ Now Avaflable
Farmers who apply for federal
all-risk insurance on the 1947 cot
ton crop will be offered a simpli
fied federal crop insurance cor
poration contract deaigned to pro
vide coverage more nearly equal
to the investment in the crop at the
different stages of production
than in previous years, M. O. King,
chainnan of the Kershaw county
Trlple-A committee ipdd this week.
The 1M7 cotton program will of
fer subatantially the same type of
insurance protection as in 1946.
Producers will be insured against
loss in cotton yields doe to prac
tically all unavoidable causes. The
changes in the program relate to
the amount of coverage the farmer
is given at various stages of cot
ton production.
In 1947 each farm will be placed
in one of 35 coverage groups ac
cording to the average yield per
acre eetabllshed for the farm.
Three levels of insurance will be
offered for each coverage group,
with the farmer selecting the level
he prefers. Level A gives the low
est coverage: Level B, a little
higher; and Level C, the highest
There will be one premlhm rate
for all farms in eacll of ,$he three
Tdvels. The rate for Level A will
the lowest and for Level C, the
highest. Protection will * be in
creased proportionately as the
stage of production is advanced be
fore tile crob is damaged. There
are four Itages of production:
First stags: J^ter it is too late
to plant cotton but before the first
cultifation.
Second stage: After the first cul
tivation but before laying by.
Third stage: After laying'by but
before harvest
Fourth stage: After, harvest and
to the end of the insurance period.
The county agricultural conser
vation (AAA) committee will have
tables showing what each insured
farmer’s contract covers at every
stage of his production. In this
way, there should be no misunder
standing about the amount of cov
erage applicable to a farm at any
time a loss should occur.
O. F. Oeissler, manager of the
federal crop insurance corporation,
explained: “The revisions in the
cotton program for 1947 were made
in an effort to provide a simple,
clearly d<^ned contract which will
give the protection needed by
farmers and, at the same time,
meet the objectives of the crop in
surance corporation as set by the
congress.
“The farmer’s cotton insurance
will be tied closely to his invest
ment in the crop. The more time
and money he has spent, the great
er his insurance return in case
of loss. It never win be more frofit-
able for the farmer to collect an
indemnity than to harvest a good
crop, but crop insurance does of
fer protection to his investment
when he needs it most”
The closing date for filing ap
plications in Kershaw county -ts
MarcA^ lt47. JPor thw 1946 crbb
year, 136,873 cotton farms in the
nation were covered by federal in
surance.

ance program can be obtained
through coun^ agrIcuUural con
servation (AAA) committees.
