Premiums Urged Lancaster County farmers who have applied for wheat insurance policies are urged by John S. Shenk, county wheat insurance supervisor, to pay their premiums as as possible after receiving premium notices. In doing this the farmers will be best serving their own interests, it was pointed out, for the policy goes into effect only after the premium has been paid and the crop seeded. The policies are effective at noon on the day they are countersigned in the branch office at Washington, D. C. Thus, promptness will insure the farmer immediate protection against all natural hazards. Premium notices are mailed direct to the farmer and the premiums then may be paid at the County Agricultural Conservation office. In this county it is located at 222 P. O.
