GET READY FOR THE HAIL STORMS 



HAILSTONES like these fall somewhere in Illinois every year. 

 They invariably destroy all growing crops in their path, kill 

 poultry, break windows, and damage buildings and property. 



The prudent farmer protects his crops and property against loss 

 with insurance. He will not take a chance when he can get protec- 

 tion at small cost in his own company — ^the Farmers Mutual. 



Last year the Farmers Mutual paid 71 hail insurance claims in 

 Champaign, Knox, Mercer, Bond, Williamson, Monroe, Mason, Sanga- 

 mon, Henry, DeKalb, Kane, Rock Island, McDonough, Mercer, and 

 other counties. Hailstones like those shown above fell in Williamson 

 county. Jo Daviess county was visited by a smashing hailstorm in 

 the growing season. And 1929 was a light hail year. 



Look Out For 1930 



THE old-time weather prophets are saying, "Look Out For Hail In 

 1930." You can depend on severe hail storms about every third 

 year, they say. It's 1930's turn. 



Hail Dangerous To Soybeans 



GROWING corn, soybeans, small grains are all subject to hail dam- 

 age. Soybeans are subject to a double hazard. Hail is fatal to 

 beans when the young plants are coming through the ground. The 

 crop may be destroyed also in the fall when the pods are on. 



$960 for $20 



G«o. Wiese of Greenville, Bond 

 county. III., bet the Farmers Untoal 

 $20 to «1,000 last year that he 

 would have a hailstorm. He won 

 the bet. 



Wiese took out a $1,000 policy on 

 his grrowinK crops early in the sea- 

 son at a cost of $20. four dollars at 

 time of application, and $16 at the 

 close of the sesson. 



On Aug. 13 a terrific hailstorm 

 hit his farm. The small Krain had 

 been harvested but the bis hail- 

 stones battered the standing com to 

 ribbons. The appraiser judged the 

 field a 96 per cent loss. Mr. Wiese 

 received a check from the company 

 for $960 to reimburse him for the 

 damage.
