A Cotton Crop
Insurance ProgTam
v Mapped For 1943
Plans for offering IMS crop in
surance to every cotton producer in
North Carolina have been completed
and will be irt operation in every oat
ton producing county of the state
within a few days, according to Tom
M. Cornwell, Cleveland County far
mer and a member of the State AAA
Committee.
The 1943 insurance program was
explained to field officers of the
AAA and others by officials of the
Federal Crop. Insurance Corporation
at a meeting held at the State AAA
Office at Raleigh.
Yields which may be insured and
premium rates already have been
compiled and now are in county AAA
offices where applications may be
made until April 1.
"This insurance is not designed to
make money for either the farmer
or the Crop Insurance Corporation,"
Cornwell said. "It is offered as a
part of the national farm program
to protect the farmer against partial
or total loss of income in years when
he has u crop failure due to any
cause beyond his control."
Under the program, coton produc
ers have the option of insuring qither
60 or 75 percent of their normal
yields against . losses from such
causes as floods, drouth, hail, wind
storm, insect damage, and fire. The
program this year also covers losses
cx-osed from wartime' shortages of
labor, machinery, and materials dur
ing the growing period which it is
impossible for the producer to over
come.
Cotton inuisnce was offered for
the first time in North Carolina last
year, and more than 11,0Q0 growers
insured their yields.
Growers Confused
On New Varieties
Recent correspondence from North
Carolina farmers to the Extension
plant pathologist at N. C. State Col
lege has indicated a general con
fusion regarding' the disease-resist
ant flue-cured varieties of tobacco.
K. J. Shaw and T. E. Smith, as
sociate plant pathologist of the Agri
cultural Experiment Station, report
that some growers apparently think
the varieties resistant to all diseases
instead of to a specific disease. .
Varieties resistant to black root
rot and blaekshsnk, two of the im
portant tobacco diseases, were made
available reeerttly to farmen after
years of experimental work. „
J vThe "400" variety was developed
in experiments located near Reids
ville and is resistant to black root rot,
a disease attacking the smaller roots
and causing a slow, uneven, and
stunted growth of the above-ground
parts. . -'^r. '■
Blaekshsnk resistant strains 1, 2,
3, and 4 were developed in experi
ments near Winston-Salem and have
been released for commercial use for
the first time tids year. They are
resistant only to blackshank, a di
sease that attacks the roots and stalk
and causes death rather rapidly.
Growers should remember that
these varieties are resistant only to

of the County AAA Committee, and
dealers, millers, 6r feed processors
may purchase wheat on agreement
with the County AAA Committee to
use it only for feeding purposes,
wjthout posting bond. Persons found
to hare used wheat porchased for
"feed for any other purposes are lia
ble for fc penalty of 75 cents jier
bushel,
"Use of this wheat for feed was
authorised as an er rgency measure
and is designed to increase produc
tion of food we need to carry on the
war," Patten said. "The wheat is
hard wheat, of which we have large
surpluses, especially in the Western
wheat producing areas." . "
The price for January delivery, he
said, is $1.01 per bushel, delivered in
bulk in carload lots to any railroad
point in the county or in a nearby
county. Thrugh January 19, records
show, a total of 568 cars of wheat
had been delivered to feeders and
dealers in 63 North Carolina coun
ties.
