Lunt, Juab county wheat farmer, along with thousands of other farmers of the country, seeded his wheat in the fall of 1940 amd hoped for a harvest.

THE ANCIENT RECORDS (2lk minute talk by Glen Perkins From 1823 to 1827 Joseph Smith lived the life of any ordinary boy whose parents were poor. We have very little account of those four ! ears, but there is no doubt that the task before him sobered him and kept him from making many of the foolish mistakes that were so com mon in those days. Each year he visited the Hill Cumorah and received instructions from the Angel Moroni, but we have no word of the nature of these instructions. It was on the morning of the 21st day of Sent., 1827. that Joseph received the gold plates, and as he held them in his arms he heard the angel beside and the many other pests that beset the path of the farmer. But knowing this, he decided to cut down on the risk by insuring his crop against these hazards with the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. For a few bushels of wheat mot out of his bin, but put in the bin of the Ever Normal Granary after they were purchased with an advance on his farm program payments he paid for the insurance Mr. Lunt didnt have to dig down in his jeans for a dime of the money that went to insure his crop. He merely signed an advance on his AAA payments for the amount of the premium. This spring when he went out to look over his crop, winter-kiand crusting had beat him to it. But his crop was insured, sq he reported the loss. A crop insurance adjuster visited the field, determined the loss, made out a report ahd just a few days ago, Mr. Lunt received a check for $79.90. The check was for the amount of wheat Mr. Lunt failed to get to make Up 75 per cent of ll him say: Now you have the record in his normal yield.
