New license plates for farm
trailers not used for hire now are
available at the Denton County
tax collector’s offices for $5.
Owners of farm trailers of be-
tween 4,000 and 10,000 pounds
gross weight must have these tags
displayed on their trailers within
a “reasonable” period. The law
also provide* a 30-mile-an-hour
| apeed limit, but exempt* trailers
up to 10,000 pounds gross from
| brake requirements.
The Texas Farm Bureau has
been attempting to secure pas-
I sage of a farm trailer law for
I several years, and the $5 license
1 cost was a compromise to fore-
। stall a veto of the bill.
Bob A. Lilly, TFB legislative
director, said the new law was ne-
cessary to permit farmer* to con-
tinue using their trailers to haul
products.

can make application for a policy guaranteeing him that not
less than or not more than a certain amount of precipitation
will fall at the named station during a given month.
Insurance is granted for the amount totaling the approximate
value of the expected crop. This amount is divided by the num-
ber of growing months of that particular crop and payments are
made for the months the guaranteed rainfall fails.
If no rain falls the entire amount for the month is paid; when
some rain falls a percentage of the amount is paid.
With the advent of rain insurance, farmers now have only two
other elements—temperature and wind—to plague them.
