Cleveland, 0. cago before he went to war, has been going about Coblenz for five months selecting choice billets for generals and other officers a.nd for the soldiers, too. And so most all the civilians in Coblenz have had a glimpse of Captain Fieker from time to time, and they do not like him one bit.

Many of them tell him so, in a nice way, of course, each time he comes around. Every house in the city has been listed in Captain lacker's office, and he knows just how many members are in each family, and when there is a. spare bed-room or two handy he takes it over for a general, a colonel, a major, a captain or a lieutenant, according to the furnishings and the location of the home. Being unpopular is incidental to the duties of the billeting officer. But the work 10 agree with him- Since he came to Germany with the -army of occupation.

Haskln) WASHINGTON, D. June insuring of crops not only against flre and hail, but also against drouth, Insect pests and plant diseases, so that when a farmer plants a crop he will be assured of a certain financial return per acre, is a project which is now engaging the attention of experts in and out of the government. Crop insurance, as explained by its 'exponents, would be of the utmost importance, not only to farmers, but to the entire business and financial world. Nearly every farming sec- Jon of the United States has a 'money crop" upon which the entire prosperity of that section de- iends. In Kansas, they the wheat crop as a mother watches a ick child.

Not only the farmers, ut the bankers, the merchants, and some degree, almost every other justness and financial interest, is de- jenderit upon the wheat crop. In he South, everyone's hope of an easy winter and a new car hinges on how he cotton grows; in the middle west iing corn is the arbiter of all des- ines; and in the northwest hope vanes or waxes with the apple yield. "When a money crop, fails in a. or a state; that county or tate suffers directly, and the whole country suffers indirectly. It is not he loss of given amount of wheat or cotton, which, perhaps 1 could not be ''prevented, that does the The most serious result is that the lard-hit farmers ara In their next year's operations.

And they are unable to meet their obligations. Thus the bankers and merchants suffer. These scenes of crop lailure, scattered all over the country, are unsound spots. In the business texture of the country; they affect business 1 everywhere. There is reaspn.

why these Stricken sections should thus suffer and cause the rest of the country to suffer. The individual farmers anc business men affected cannot stand the loss, but the country as a whole can stand it and the country as a whele should bear the burden. Grain crops are now generally Insured against destruction by hall and in some sections they are Insured Against fire. But the farmer has protection against the ravage "fc the Hessian fly, for example or the smut, and noni against drouth or floods. The experts say that protection by insurance against all of these things is thoroughly practicable.

Indeed there is scarcely anything which cannot be safely insured, if the insuring organization is strong enough Lloyd's of London, which insures among a host of other things, th hands of musicians, singers' voices and the sex of unborn children, has proved that. During the war a strong deman sprang up for government crop in surance. Farmers were being call ed upon by the government to plan every possible acre in certain select ed crops. "If am to risk everything I have In extending my operations," said the farmer to the government, "you must insure me against loss." Many letters in this tenor reached the de partment of agriculture, senator and congressmen. The experts say that if the war had continued an other year, the government woul have been compelled to offer crop insurance in order to get out of the farmers the foodstuffs it needed.

But with the ending of the wa came a strong reaction against gov ernment enterprises, and a less im mediate need for this particular en terprise. Congressman King, Illinois, has long been an advocat of government crop insurance, am has repeatedly Introduced bills "pro riding for a bureau of crop insur ance in the department of sgricul ture. But Secretary Houston, wh always keeps a keen political ear the ground, heard the rumble of th against gov ernmental enterprise, did no advocate the measure, it never go beyoritl a committee room. None-the-less, some of the expert say that crop insurance is properly a government function. It would expensive, they admit, and this ex pense could best be reached by on big organization serving the whol country.

Naturally, the larger th territory served, the more losses one section would tend to be counte balanced by gains in others. Again, crop insurance, like hoile insurance and health insurance would be dependent upon expert in spection for its success, and woul perhaps be the most valuable feal ure of the thing. Thus, it would impossible to Insure a man agalns his own ignorance. He could no be paid insurance, on a wheat cro destroyed by smut which he migh have prevented by treating the see before planting. But there shoul be an inspector who would see tha the wheat was treated properly be fore the insurance was written.

Sue a corps of inspectors could easil be put into the field by the depart ment of agriculture, which alread has an organisation of trained agrl culturalists reaching into almost every county of the United States. Fo a private company to build up sue an organization would be a tremen dous undertaking. There are others however, who believe that our grea insurance companies should under take the work, and think that th! method would be better than th "paternalistic" one of having th government insure the crops. Comprehensive crop insurance was offered about two years ago by thre companies in the west, and was no a complete success. They insure against drouth, among other thing and when a big drouth came along they were unable to pay out.

Th experts say that bad xnanagemen was responsible for this partial fai ure. In the first place, the com panles have limited the amount risks they--would take in any give section, say the experts. In the sec ond place they entrusted the seHlr- against hail. Crop insurance seems clearly to be a thing needed in this country and one which either private capital or the government must offer.
