Hail Insurance .Troves Disastrous. Widespread damage to growing, grain caused by hailstorms in Ne- braska during the latter part of August and the first week of Septem- , her has wiped out the cash balance , in the state hail insurance fund and made it impossible to pay adjusted losses in full this year. State Insur-. ance Commissioner Dumont announc-. ed Friday. j Everything looked fine up to three weeks ago, and on August 20, the j last date allowed by law for state hail polic ies to be written, prospects j were that the fund woud pay out andhave a substantial balance left j over. But right after that a series j of bad hail storni3 swept over differ- J ent parts of Nebraska, and several j hundred additional claims have since) come in. j Thore are so many of these belat-j ed losses that it bus not been pnssi- ; ble to adjust all of them as yet. In surance Commission Dumont has two m' u out looking over the fields, and estimating the extent of the devas tation. Among the claims already ad justed a large proportion will have; to be paid on the maximum basis of. $10 and $15 per ac re. Losses to Total $70,000 j As nearly as the aggregate damage to crop covered by state hail insur- ; ance policies can he estimated at this time, it will reach $70,000 or j more for the entire 1927 season.: which began April 1. and ended on j September IT.. Of that sum, Commis-; sioner Dumont says at least $30,000 . was incurred during a period of IT. ! days in August and September, prac-j tically at the tail end of the season, i The volume of business done by the state hail eft"i-e this year increas- ; ed considerably over 192C. Alto-; gether. about 1,275 policies were i?-; sued, being very . nearly twice as ' many as a year ago. The premiums amounted to upwards of $50,000 a 100 per cent increase. On top of this, there was a balance of $14,000 left over from two previous years. ; After de-ducting ?3.000 for 1927 ad ministrative expenses, this left $07, -000 to clean up this season's losses: and provide a working fund for the ; state office until next summer. ! About ?64.000 is all that will be' available for the payment of losses,: which may run as high as $75,000 in ; gross. ' "It all goes to show that you never t ean tell what is going to happen in the hail insurance business until the ; returnsare all in," said Commission-j er Dumont. "The outlook was fine j and dandy up to August 20; but; those 15 bad days following changed' the picture completely." j Some of the Bad Spots. Fillmore. Platte. Nance and ' Phelps counties are areas in the cen tral Nebraska region which had ex tensive hail losses in the recent trms. In the western part of the i Ltate P.ox Eutte, P.anner and Sioux .' were hit the hardest. This is the first time since Com-' missirn'T Dumont assumed charge of ', the state Insurance bureau in 1925 I that the hail fund has not paid all ad- I justed claims at 100 cents on the dol lar. The year before he came in only 50 per cent was paid. Dumont j raised the rates in 1925, and for that ; year and 192C the revenue was ample j to pay all lorses and leave a nest egg 1 of $1 1,000 to start off the 1927 sea son. Now it will take all the money remaining from that balance. to eether with what has been collected in premiums tin's year, and clnims will still have to be scaled down from par. The Jaw provides that when pre mium receipts are not sufficient to meet losses, the claims shall be paid cn a pro rata basis. ! Private hail insurance companies I are reported to nave nau an unproni- ; able season in Nebraska also. RAIN BUT STILL HOT From FrMay's Tiaily The rainfall of a quarter of an inch last evening was hoped would be a break in the heat of the past two weeks, but has had little effect today in reducing the temperature as the mercury registered 8S in the shade today, a very few degrees low er than the record for the month, which was 04. The prospects are for continued hot v;e-ather in this lo cality for several days and little re lief is looked for until the fall sea son opening on next Thursday when a storm period should bring cooler weather.

Neb., Sept. 15. After making a complete personal investi cation including a four-mile trip in a motor boat to view the threaten ing waters of the Missouri river WHICH are enci oae-nrns "i-"" -i"- 1 j adjacent to the town of Niobrara. Senator George W. Norris. win was in Norfolk Wednesday, stated that he favored a survey of conditions by government engineers. Senator Norris said he felt there was a vast difference between the meandering of the Missouri river where only the property of an in- .Mvuinfii i fiTifijrnt,ti. aiiu iuul threatened, rliti.if v.-be re a. town 13 and where the possessions of a great many are likely to be washed away.

Residents of Niobrara fear tne waters will eliminate the horseshoe bend bv cutting a straight course. Should this happen the force of the river current will be hurled against the river bank which is about 2.500 feet from the town, the residents fear This condition would mean the inevitable destruction of homes and property within the city limits, it was said. While at Niobrara Senator Norris conferred with a committee of San tre Indiana on matters nortaming to Indian affairs and allotments claim ed by them fro mt he government.

Pleads for Efficiency. Mr. McKelvie, who is editor-in-chief of the Nebraska Farmer, and closely connected with many other publishing enterprises, made a vigor ous plea for more efficiency in the management of Nebraska farms, and , for 0O-tperatlve marketing. "Think farmers and business men recognize that relief for agriculture rests primarily with the farmer," Mr. McKelvie asserted. "Whenever the American farmer realizes that hit- 1 difficulties hands and ization by will begin are largely in his own that he must meet organ organization his trouble to vanish. Whenever 50 per cent of the American farmers are members of a bona fide farm organ ization, rural inequalities will begin to disappear." Wheat Poo! Plan. "In Nebraska an effort Is being made to organize 50 per cent of the wheat acreage into a pool. Should the lead in winter wheat states, Ne braska, Kansas. Oklahoma, and Colo rado, form such a pool, they would be able to accomplish for themselves for same beneficient results that have accrued the Canadian wheat farmers." In explainatlon of his tariff de benture plan, Mr. McKelvie said: "I can see but one logical way tr secure arbitrary tariff benefits for the farmer the export debenture pltn, as advocated by the National Grange.
