However March is a month of many promises in spile of cold weather we know there are pretty days ahead. To many people, the warm days mean a relief from arthritis and colds, to many others the call of spring in all of its glory with all of its promises of a new life, is beckoning with open arms. Oh gee, why get off in a phil osophical mood when there is so much work to be done. After all Spring does not make its entry un til March 20. The Eastern Carolina Flower and Garden Show at the Stale Fair Arena in Kaleinh was marvelous.

Crop insurance is one answer to the problem. Since 1939, a Federal Crop Insur ance program has been in opera tion. Based on Experience and needs, this program has been im proved and expanded. Thousands have benefited from its protection, fer the 1962 season, some inmpor tant improvements and additions have been made. The following questions farmers are asking, and answers from Federal Crop Insur ance officials may help you plan more efficiently. In Duplin County Federal Crop Insurance is for tobacco. A new ''Dollar Guarantee' crop insurance plan for 1962 is being offered. ' . The new program guarantees - a fixed dollar amount to each 'policy holder. If crop value drops , below this guarantee, due either, to low yield or low quality, the policy wll) make up the difference. The policy is also more simple and permits faster payment of losses. In 1962 payments can be made as soon as a grower sells his tobacco. Also, the 1962 plan is designed to more near ly cover full production costs. An increase in coverage is bgsed on higher yields of recent years. For the first time the program protects growers from loss due to poor qual ity tobacco. , .-' ' ' Purpose of the Federal Crop In surance program -la to cover risks not well covered by commercial insurance. Julian E. Mann, state director says: "We strongly recom mend that farmers carry commer cial insurance covering risk of hail, fire, and other possible damage.' For further Information, go to your local crop Insurance office lo cated in the Agriculture Building in Kenansville. It la Important that you apply for Insurance soon, since funds, especially' for tobacco, art iimuea. . ,. t- , . . .. J.-V- '.-' . - - v ' ' , : , . .v i . . : - ? 4
