This Country Whats this country coming to? I have been listening to the radio and reading in the papers the speeches of a number of men who want to be president, most of them asking the same old question, with the implication that if they or their party are not put in charge of affairs, this country is headed for a very bad end. After a few years of listening to similar alarms, I am becoming skeptical of all the heralds of disaster of any party. Boiled down to its lowest terms, every Presidential campaign resolves itself into a struggle for power between the Outs and the Ins. Each side tries .to convince the voters that the nation is on the path to destruction unless its candidates are elected. Once in a long time there is a really vital issue on which the people must decide; such as the Slavery issue upon which the of 1860 was decided and the states went to war against each other. p, n.

H. Jensen, Chairman of the Salt Lake County Agricultural Conservation Committee, disclosed this week. A preliminary tabulation of the 1940 crop insurance shows that 16 growers have guaranteed themselves at least 6743 bushels of wheat from their 1940 harvest on 494 acres of land, despite unavoidable losses that may occur. To obtain the protection of all risk insurance, the growers have paid premiums amounting to 593 bushels of wheat into the insurance reserve maintained by the Federal Crop Insurance Corpora-tioFourteen growers took advantage of the! opportunity to pay premiums with advances against AAA payments, Mr. Jensen said., The amount of risk is measured1 in bushels of wheat per acre. The premiums are calculated in terms of bushels of wheat, and the reserve is carried by the Corporation in actual wheat in bonded storage.
