v Announcement of * new premium
discount plan of interest to all tobac
co growers In Pitt county baa re
cently boon received from the Fede
ral Crop Insurance Corporation state
office at Raleigh, according to B. M.
Lewis* chairman of the Pitt county
crop insurance committee. In the
counties in which the plan will be
come operative this year, eligible pro
ducers who base a Federal tobacco
crop insurance policy will receive a
discount of as much as 80 per cent
on their 1049 premium.
In order, for the plsa to become
operative in a county, a sufficient
reserve must have bent accumulated.
The corporation first determines the
county reserve requirement, which is
the amount that it is deemed ne
cessary to maintain as a reserve to
offset losses which might be.incurred
in the county in any year. The rej
serve requirement is. then compared
with the actual premium reserve for
the county. The actual reserve is
the amount by which premiums
paid in by participating tobacco
growers exceed total indemnities paid
for losses in the county. If the act
ual reserve exceeds the reserve re
quirement by five per cent or more,
tiie county is eligible for the prem
ium discount The amount of dis
count allowed depends upon how much
premium reserve has been built up.
“Although the premium discount
plan will not be in effect in Pitt
county this year since the premium
reserve for the county does not ex
ceed its reserve requirement,” says
Lewis, “some reserve has been accu
mulated and continuation of favora
ble experience will mean that tobac
co growers in Pitt county will ulti
mately receive the benefits of the
premium discount plan.”
"wnen tne oiscounx pian aoes go
into effect in the county, participa
tion by the grower the previous year
will be a requirement so it is impor
tant that our tobacco producers take
out crop insurance this year and keep
it in force in future years. Applica
tions for insurance'are now being ac
cepted by the county office located
in the agriculture building in Green
ville and by authorised agents. Last
year’s policy was for the one year
only so every tobacco grower is ur
ged to sign *an application as soon as
possible. The new policy is a con
tinuous contract and will eliminate
the necessity of renewing it each
year. Either the grower or the cor
poration- may cancel the contract for
any future year."
The new-premium discount feature
has thp effect of malting the Federal
Crofe Insurance Program in the coun
ty very similar to a farmers mutual
insurance plan, with actual loss ex

“That's why it is more important
than ever," adds Lewis, “that our
growers take a keener interest in
the Federal Crop Insurance Program
and help as keep the crop insurance
business in the county on a sound
basis. Too, there are many other to
