The favorite story of an Illinois 

 farmer is about a wind storm so strong 

 that it blew the writing and signature 

 right off the face of a $4,000.00 check 

 ... an uncashed check payable to 

 him. Sounds like a tall tale, but it isn't. 

 A bad wind storm actually cost him that 

 much. 



When you see a farmstead which 

 was insufficiently protected by wind

insurance, now leveled by a tornado, 

 you know that here is a man whose 

 cash reserve may be wiped out en- 

 tirely. 



It's a wise farmer who insures him- 

 self against these "pranks of nature." 

 Ask your Farm Bureau insurance repre- 

 sentative how little it costs to be ade- 

 quately insured against damage from 

 wind.
