Garden City, Deo. Russell, Flnney county county farmer who wan designated as one of the state's ten Farmers" by the Kansas Farmer recently, advocates a system of state hall Insurance in art article published In the currest Issue of Opportunity. magazine. Mr. Russell, who owns 7,620 acres of land, and Is Interested In 6,000 acres of wheat, states In tho article that he has been taking heavy hall losses in the last few years because the rate of Insurance for farm crops in western Kansas Is "prohibitive." "I do not favor compulsory Insurance as they have In the Dakotas," tho continues, "nor would I favor the state of Kansas going Into the hall Insurance business along the red tape line.

-But the state could go at I tin ft business like way with no loss to the state and big saving to tho farmers. While the cost of Insurance In this port of the state Is now per cent, 1 think that, on an actual cost basis It could be handled for around per cent, in the western part of the state, and about 2 per cent In the eastern half of the state. If It took one per cent more it would still be cheap." Mr. Russell suggested the policies could be handled through banks, with no soliciting agents. H.
