"Something New In Federal Crops Ins."
Explained At Sales Agent Meeting
Sales agents representing the
Federal Crop Insurance for Duplin
County met in the Agriculture
building on Monday morning.
G. E. Alphin, area supervisor of
four counties, Duplin, Jones, Ons
low, and Pender presided at the
meeting and explained changes,
and new phases which have been
added to the program for the year
IMS. Wood row Lowery, assistant
director of die Eastern district whi
ch is composed of 19 counties, was
also present at the meeting and as
sisted Alphin with instructions.
Lowery works from the Kinston
office.
Also assisting at the training
school was Dougald McNeill of Fai
son, who has been named new field
man for Duplin County Federal
Crop Insurance. McNeill took the
place vacated by G. E. Alphin
when Alphin was promoted to area
supervisor.
Duplin County farmers were paid
in 1902 between eighty and one hun
dred thousand dollars on 103 cases
of loss on tobacco from water dur
ing the flood the first of July.
?Lowery said that seven Eastern
counties of North Carolina had been
paid two million dollars because of
the rains and floods during the past
summer which destroyed so much
of the tobacco. Beaufort County
was paid one million, Jones 3170,
000; Onslow $80,000; Duplin $80,000;
Craven $125,000; Pitt $220*0 and
Martin $60,000. v
Salesman who attended the sch
ool to receive full instructions for
the Crop Insurance drive which be
"ins January 7 were: Mrs. EsteUe
Halso, Chinquapin; Mrs. Louise
Booty,, Kenansvilie; Mrs. Hgnahm
Houston, Warsaw:. G*>rge Smg*u
Beutarflte*, A. C. Kenan, Wallace;
Ernest Grady, Kenansville; Other
salesmen Will be named at later
date.
The main changes in the all-risk
tobacco insurance program for 1963
were discussed fully with sales re
presentatives. One of the changes
is that In 1963 each tobacco allot
ment is considered separately for
claim purposes. An insured may
retit one or more allotments on a
cash lease basis. Any one that falls
below guarantee (coverage) will be
eligible for a claim if the tobacco ia
kept separate through production
and marketing. In 1962 they were
lumped together. In addition, every
acreage where different people
share in same allotment is eligible
for claim as in past years.

ress. Pickard stated that this, was
the finest fire house in thstfrstate
in a community of this size. "Where
there is no vision, the people per

made up of a physical plant and
machines, but it is made up of peo

fire departments have not taken
the interest in the machinery. Ken

that can be bought. Pickard further

Kenansville fire department has
gone out over the state.
