Richardson county has been added as a corn insurance coun ty, being part of the national ex pansion in the experimental corn insurance program administered by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. The program is being handled locally by the County Agricul tural Conservation Committees who have complete details on the program and are now accepting applications for insurance from growers in their respective coun ties. 1948 marks the fourth year of the experimental program in Saunders county, it being one of the original experimental coun ties. Saunders county has two pro grams available, one on a yield basis with the coverage varying by areas from 12 to 22 bushels per acre, and the other an in vestment type with the coverage varying fiom $7 to $12 per acre. Richardson county has one program with a coverage of $15 per acre being offered. Not all the corn land has been classi fied as acceptable for insurance in either county, since some of the land is subject to hazards not common to land in the cou knowledge of the extra cost of the hazards is not well enough known to allow an equitable premium rate to be set.

Captain Hirz in in" ' writing to his mother, Mrs. Cora Baumgart, tells of the life in the cast. Mrs. Hirz and the children are with Dick in the orient and all are doing fine although they miss the tics of the folks back in the states. They have found help to be plentiful and at very low wages so that the household tasks are largely looked after by the na- sured cori crop against all nat ural hazards encountered in grow ing the crop from the time of planting to December 10 of the crop year. The protection afforded by the contract has been lowered from that of previous years to a fig ure generally somewhat less than the producers investment in the crop.

Coyotes-Y olves Menace to Farm Territory The residents of the iarm-ng territory along the Missouri riv er in this vicinity are reporting increasing menace from the coyotes and wolves to the live stock and chickens on the farms. One of the residents of the territory a few miles south of Plattsmouth, reports tn'. he was vorking with a son in moving a 'iay stack, and at the some time .ad a plumber at the farm to look after seme repairs on a windmill. Hearing shouts from he mill, the two men hastened to the scene. It was found .hat the chickens had just been .urned out of their coops and as they started out into the farm yard, a pack of coyotes had ap peared and started circling around the flock for a raid on the fowl. The men secured guns end routed the coyotes and stopped the raid but the coyotes remained to be a future menace to the livestock. Other farmers report the loss of lambs to the animals and in seme cases they have even at tempted attacks on the larger sheep. One of the farmers who has been in the he.bit of raising sheep has discontinued this part of the farm activities owing to the loss of the lambs. It seems ripe for a largo and .veil organized coyote and wolf hunt in this locality to rid the ccunty of the mcnr.ee. The ani mals find a great dea.l of shelter alon- the bluffs on the Missouri river and surrounding territory from where they carry cn their raids onto the farms. There are plenty cf crack shots in this territory that would enjoy get ting out and reducing the wolf population. Wilbur Hall Back Iowa Lady Dies From Western Trip ! Friday mcrnin?
