To Resume Celebrations
For a long time it was the prac

to resume the celebration or picnic

Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
Announces Figures Follow

IIOLDREGE, Neb., May 14 (CP)
Average county loss figures for de
termining wheat crop insurance pre
miums for Nebraska farmers were an
nounced today by the federal crop in
surance corporation at the conclu
sion of a statewide meeting here.
Leroy K. Smith, regional crop in
surance co-ordinate, emphasized that
the premium rate for individual
farms will be an average of the coun
ty loss figures and the crop loss ex
perience for each farm. Premium
ra-tes will be worked out separately
in each in each instance.
The rates are based on the 10-year
average (1926 to 1935) yields for
each farm and the year to year varia
tions in yield.
"The farmers who suffered little
crop loss would pay less than those
who suffered frequent and heavy
losses even though their average
yields were the same.
"The crop loss figures for each
county have no relationship to any
other county, state or area. Each
county stands on its own crop rec
ord." The following table gives the
county loss figures for insuring either
75 per cent or 50 per cent of an aver
age yield at the basic county aver
age yield for the 10-year period (ac

URGES FLAT RAILROAD FARE
WASHINGTON, May 14 (UP)
Representative William Lemkc, R.,
N. Dak., proposed today to rehabili
tate railroads by "postalizing" pas
senger rates to increase income from
that source to between $1,500,000,000
and $2,000,000,000.
He spoke over a national radio
hookup in support of his bill to pro
vide a flat $3.00 fare from the At
lantic to the Pacific coasts and a $1.00
rate within a region. The bill would
apply the parcel post principle of
zones to railroad rates.
"While this bill applies only to
passenger rates" he said "I am sat
isfied that if it is passed it will meet
with such great success that it will
be extended to all other transporta
tion rates. It will solve the railroad
problem once and for all.'"
