EerJalCrop Cotton; txpires'April 10 . All Upland Cotton May Be u- . sured lor all Blakst Farmers . Have Choice Tvro Flans. ., . ' Dunlin farmers .'Jive until Aprl 10, iw to place their 1945 crops of American Upland cotton under protection of tne all-risk Jt eaera crop insurance program, according to Lewis W. Outlaw, Chairman ot Duplin County AAA Committee. Under ths new Insurance pro gram, fanners will have a choice of two insurance contracts, one providing coverage up to 75 per cent of the average yield, and the other up to 50 percent The Insur ance provides against crop losses from drought, floods, hail, wind frost, winter-kill, wildlife, hurri cane, Insects, plant diseases and other hazards determined by the Federal Crop Insurance Corpor atktn to be unavoidable. - Contracts will be written . by County AAA Committeemen and other authorized agents in the county. ' The stage of the cotton crop's aeveiopment will determine the maximum indemnity to be recov ered in the event of loss. If a los. occurs after It's too late to replan to cotton, but prior to the fir? cultivation, the indemnity would be 40 percent of the maximum In- . sured production. Losses occurring after the first cultivation and the end of harvest would be lndemnl fied to the extent of 75 percent of the maximum coverage. Indemnity losses occurring after harvest but before delivery to the gin mum of the coverage. Indemnities payable .under the program may be used as collateral security for government sponsored commodity loans. ' n , i Crop insurance is the only means ef protection crop invest ments from the innumerable haz ards that go with cotton growing. It offers assured production re turns from planting to delivery at the gin. It seems to m most farm ers who need returns from their cotton crops, need crop insurance, Mr. Outlaw said, v Kencnsviile Colored PTA Nclds .'selincj Mrs. Sudle Farrior, President of the Kenansville Colored PTA sta- tM that there was an interesting PTA meeting held March 22 at the school An inmlratlonal talk to . tne parents and teachers was (I.' lZZi hy, hi Tujner.
