 The purpose of the first part of this article is to"outline 
 the difficulties encountered in the introduction and conduct 
 of insurance which aims at covering loss incurred from two or 
 more forms of crop damage mentioned in the policy." The vr iter 
 next deals with early attempts to organize this form of insur- 
 ance, which is of fairly recent date. The second part "con- 
 tains a study of the various forms of this kind of insurance 
 in the different countries where it has already found practical 
 application, namely in Switzerland, Greece, France, Bulgaria, 
 the U.S.S.R., the United States of America and Japan."

 It is pointed out that "crop insurance in the Soviet 
 Union forms, a part of the general scheme of compulsory 
 rural insurance," and that a larger number of risks are 
 covered than in other countries. While the system of 
 Soviet crop insurance" is still in an experimental shape," 
 that "it has a broad, national scope must be considered 
 a definite advantage. It should be noted that it is a com- 
 pulsory scheme with a provision for supplementary insurance 
 on a voluntary basis. Placed as it is on a cash basis, the 
 scheme has, of course, suffered from the low purchasing 
 power of the ruble in the hands of the farmer. . .Another 
 serious disadvantage, from the standpoint of farmers, is 
 that the greatest hazard of Russian agriculture - the 
 drought - is not covered by insurance in the case of most 
 of the important crops."

 Gives an outline of the insurance system which will be 
 managed by the agricultural cooperatives, and which was 
 undertaken "in view of the weak resistance of wheat against 
 natural disasters as compared. with maize, kaoliang, millet, 
 etc., and the consequent tendency among farmers of avoid- 
 ing the cultivation of wheat." - U.S. Dept. Agr. Bur. Agr.
