Little Fruit Damage
From Warm Weather
Belief that most fruit buds re-
mained relatively dormant during
the exceptionally warm weather of
late January and that little or no
damage resulted, was expressed by
the State Department of Agriculture
following Federal-State surveys of
crop conditons the first of this
month.
Temperatures averaged 10 de-
grees above normal for January,
the report said. Freézing and thaw-
ing was moderate and ground was
frost-free on most days. Frequent
rains added greatly to soil moisture
and reserves generally are now
ample. Precipitation totaled: about
4.40 inches or 1.25 above normal.
The light snowfall during January
melted quickly and provided little
protection for winter grains and
grasses.
Open weather favored outdoor
work but soils often were too soft
to permit spreading of lime or fer-
tilizers. Plowing for spring crops
is well advanced in some localities.
Mild weather encouraged growth of
vegetation. Fields of winter grain
are unusually green for this time of
year and some clover has started
growth. Late planted wheat and
barley have developed satisfactor-
ily since fall but earlier stands tend
to be too ‘advanced for best results;
the Department said.
Scouts Gather
Waste Paper
Boy“ Scout Troop, 281 of Dallas
has been holding a successful paper
“drive for the last month. Purpose
of the drive is to get enough funds
to send a representative, a deserv-
ing boy from the troop, to the
National Encampment, which will
be held at Valley Forge during the
first few days of July.
The Scouts will make another
collection Saturday morning at 9
o'clock. Let's help them reach
| their goal.
Babson Discusses
Insurance Stocks
(Continued from Page Two)
—should direct attention to the ad-
vantage of insurance company
stocks. The cost of labor for the
insurance industry is around 10%
of the volume of business. This
compares with a labor cost of from
40% to 50% in most industries.
This gives a great, advantage to fire
insurance companies,
Any increased labor costs go in-
to the expenses and are taken into
consideration in the fixing of rates
as well as in the payment of taxes.
If drastic dabor trouble should oc-
cur, this type of company, having
a small investment in plant, can be
moved to a new locality. But the
percentage of labor cost is so small
this is seldom necessary.
Selecting a Stock
I use the Home as an illustration
because it is the largest in the
United States in total admitted
assets and in premiums written, al-
though only the fourth in policy-
holders surplus. I happen to be a
director and have great confidence
in its President, Harold V. Smith.
Also, there are other good com-
panies such as Great American,
American of Newark, Firemen’s of
Newark, Aetna, National Fire, Con-
tinental, Fidelity-Phenix, Insurance
Company of North America, Spring-
field Fire & Marine. .
If you are ultra-conservative, buy
some stock in all ten companies.
Then you should have the best
possible combination of safety and
income. Another suggestion is that
you look at your insurance policies.
If you find one of the above ten,
then buy some stock in that com-
pany. If it is good enough for you
to insure in, it should be good
enough for you to invest in. The
business of an insurance company
is probably the most Christian of
all businesses. It is based 100% on
the principle that those who es-
cape fire, accident and other troub-
les, all unite to help the one who
has an unfortunate loss.
