Cn^hsiirance
Here are some pertinent questions
concerning cotton crop insurance
which is being offered to North Car
olina growers for the first time this
year.
Q. Who is eligible to apply for
cotton crop insurance and how does
he go about doing so?
A. Any person having an interest
in a cotton crop—a land owner, ten
ant or sharecropper—^is eligible for
insurance. Applications are made
at the county AAA office where rec
ords for past yields and losses for
each individual farm are on file. Clos
ing date for applications is March
16.
Q. What protection does this in
surance afford?
A. The insurance protects the cot
ton grower against losses from aU
causes over which he has no contrbl.
These include damage due to fire,
ooods, drouth, insects, and disease.
Q. How much insiirance will be
issued on a cotton crop?
A. A grower may obtain insurance
guaranteeing him up to seventy-five
per cent of the normal production
from his acreage in past years. If
he desires he may buy only fifty per
cent insurance, which guarantees
him half of his normal production in
past years. For example, if a grower
has a production record of 300 pounds
per acre, he can obtain insurance for
as much as 225 pounds per acre. Fif
ty per cen tinsurance would guaran
tee him 150 pounds per acre.
• Q. .How much does this insurance
cb^?
A. Premium rates are based on
past losses. The insurance is issued
by the Federal Crop lilsiuance Cor-
poratipn which is a non-profit agency
ot the United States Department of
AgriciUture. Rates are so compiled
that a grower will be pay into the
Corporation over a period of years
a^ut the same amount he will be
pa^ ))ack for losses. All rates and
indenmify payments are figured in
tfnns of lint cotton. However, the
c^sh equivalent may be used ,if the
^pwtt so desires.
When do premiums have to
be paidt
I A. The premium may be paid at
tha time the application is sighed or
at any, time until October 25, 1942.
If the premium is not paid when the
af^catibh is .made,) a commodity,
ndtii for the amount of the premium
is signed by tiie applicant. This note
matures October 25, 1942, but bears
np interest either before or after ma
tuHty. Premiums also may.be de
duct^ from any payments due the
f^nher as indeinnities or due him,
for soil-building practices under tiie
Agricultural Conservation program.
' 2. May persons who are not co
operating in the farm program in
sure their crop?
A. Yes, but insurance will be is
sued only on the normal production
•f|pm the acreage allotted imder the
program. A non-cooperating grow
er also must pay his premittm in cash
at the time the application for in
surance is signed.
Q. How long does this insurance
remain in effect?
A. The insurance remains in effect
from time of seeding until the cotton
is weighed in at the gin, or until
January 31, 1943 whichever is ear
lier,
Q. How would a grower be paid
for a loss?
A. The damage to the crop should
be reported to the county committee
within thirty days after the damege
ocemrs. An adjuster will inspect the
crop and will determine the amount
of damage. Payments for loss usu
ally are made within thirty days af
ter statement of damage is approved.
Q. Are cotton seed figured in the
loss?
A. Yes. Demand for oil is mak
ing cotton seed more important now
than ever before. Operating on a
basis that cq|,tun seed normally is
worth about one-fifth of the valu»
of the lint cotton, a flat nineteen per
cent is added to the number of
pounds the growers received as pay
ment for loss.

Waste Materials
OfAIlKinds
Can Be Used
“Everybody can save,” asserted the
salvage program director, “and as
soon as possible we will have every
county organized so the waste will
be collected quickly and turned into
channels of production.
The salvage director cautioned that
saving meant more than simply not
throwing things away. In conserv
ing rags, for instance, it is impor
tant to follow these rules: keep burlap
bags separate. Keep cotton and other
textile bags separate, and stuff waste
material (clothing, shirts, suits, tow
els, etc.) into bags or make them
into bundles.
Rules for saving paper are: Stack
newspapers in large bundles and tie
two ways. Open carboard boxes,
lay flat and tie in bundles. Stuff
small waste paper into burlap bags
or boxes. Magazines using glazed
paper should be wrapped separately.
DO NOT SAVE waxed paper, cello
phane or butcher paper. They have
no value.
Ritober is the easiest waste to sal
vage. Just gather up old tires, over
shoes, boots, rubber matting, hosq,
hot water bags, etc., in any conven-.
lent pile and let toe collector get
them.
If the individual collector wishes,
he may sell his collection directly to
a scrap dealer and pocket the pro-'
ceeds. The government isn’t accept
ing donations of the material, but
simply is asking that it be placed
as rapidly as possible to use in war
industry. In any event, proceeds
from sales will go to collecting agen
cies. These may be Boy Scout troops,
school groups, &lvation Army, Red
Cross, municipalities, civic Clubs, etc.
Many are investing proceeds in De
fense Bonds, thus achieving the triple
purpose of supplying vital materials
for the war effort now, lending the
receipts to toe government to buy
more war materials, and building up
a fund for home use after the war.

The change that has come over
newspaper and magazine advertising
in recent weeks fascinates me. Not
I didn’t always-glance-at-toe ads,
but pow I find them required readr
ing!
A fuel oil Company tellf me how
to save heat so I won!t have to buy
so much of its product. “Turn ther
mostats down at night and whte you
are away from home,” it coimselS.
“Shut off radiators in rooms you
are not using. Close bedroom doors
at night. Keep vents and fireplaces
flues closed when not in use.”
Not aword do I find in that ad
about how much better its product
is than toe one I have been using.
No,salesmanship at all. Instead it
reminds me, “maybe you can’t cairy
a gun, but you can save oil.”
I pick up a N^w York pa^er. There,
paid for by 12 retail stores is an
antihoarding advertisement. Under
a heading “for distinguished service
to the Axis—for hoarding,” I see a
picture of Hitler presenting toe Iron
Cross to a man and woman standing
beside a high pile of hoarded mer
chandise ranging from coats to hair
tonic. Mussolini and Hirctoito stand
approvingly in the backgtQund.
What! they don’t wsmt me to rush
around frantically trying'^to provide
for all my needs for the duration?
I decide not to buy that, extra pair of
nylon hose when? I read that boarding
may lead -to “^eat dissatisfaction
among the millions of people who
cannot afford to build up reserves of
merchandise and who would be con
tent to endure mild deprivations if
everyone were in the same boat.”
Then there’s the telephone com
pany—^telling me that its wires “gave
up wearing silk nearly two years ago”
for patriotic reasons and suggesting
I can help conserve telephone facili
ties for urgent wartime needs by: ’
Answering with my name, com
pany, or teleitoone number instead
of a vague “hello.”
Keeping a pad and pencil handy.
Hanging up the receiver carefully
so it won’t catch on a book and get
'’out of service.”
Not using a phone during or im
mediately foUowing an air-raid warn
ing.
I don’t see a line reemnmending
that I telephone to my relatives iff
California at least once a week.
The pretty gfrYs picture
the ad, but this time she’s in ope
rator and subordinated to the engi
neer tehp’s shovm experimenting with
the new acetate yam for insulation.
It has only been a few months,
it sems to me^ ^ce the advertisers
and' professKH^ cmisumers were
sniping at each other in Washington,
wito the New Deal usually lined up
on the side of the latter. Now with

change has come. Advertising is fast

The consumer is glad these days

Four dollars are needed in the defense of
your country. They can be used at the same
time to protect your future.
WASHINGTON D/1j.—The following table issued by the Treasur^
Department is intended as a savings yardstick for the
earner. It suggests how everyone of the 48,000,00^
employed persons in the United States may partici
pate in the war effort through the systematic purchase
of Defense Savings Bonds.
“The job ahead of us is far bigger than most* of us
realize,” Secretary Morgenthau declared in making
the table public. “I know that the American people
are ready to do their part to win the war. One of the
ways we can do much more ia by intensifying our
effort in the purchase of Defense Bonds.”
While persons wi^out dependents may be able to
set aside more thah the suggested figures, persons
-with several dependents, or with other heavy family
pbligatioim, may be umtole to save at the suggested
rate, the iSreasury Department pointed out.
