Cotton Vote Set For December 15 January Terms &SG Office Says Cotton growers will make an important decision on Monuay, December 15. 1958, L. L. Lane, Chairman of the Perquimans County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, re- ' minds farmers. On that day, growers will vote in a referendum to decide wheth er marketing quotas will be in ef feet for their 1959 upland cotton crop. All farmers who engaged in the production of upland cotton in 1958 will be eligible to vote in the referendum. "If at least two-thirds of the growers voting approve the quo tas," Mr. Lane said, "marketing t quotas will be in effect on all , farms growing upland cotton in 1950, penalties will apply on 'ex cess' cotton, and growers v. ill have an opportunity to elect a . , choice between complying with their 'regular' Choice (A) farm allotments or increasing their cot ton acreage by as much as 40 per cent; this second choice is called Choice (B). "By complying with the Choice (A) allotment, a grower will be eligible for price support at the full level available not less than 80 per cent of parity in 1959; by complying with Choice (B) allot ment, a grower will be eligible . for price support at a level of 15 per cent of parity lower than un- ' der the Choice (A) program. "If morc'than- one-third of the growers disapprove quotas, there , . will be no .marketing quotas or J penalties, only 'regular' ChOicei S S (A) allotments will be in effect, . and price supports "to eligible hv growers (those who comply, EUl I U their 'regular' allotments) will be available at 50 per cent of parity. ; "In' either case, acreage allot-,, merits of some kind will continue in effect for the. 1959 cotton crop , as a means of determining eligi bility for the available price sup- ... port". The Chairman pointed out that legislation directs the Secretary- . of Agriculture to proclaim mar ": keting quotas for the next upland cotton crop When the cotton sup-,, ply exceeds normal. Quotas are not; put into operation, however. ' unless they are approved by at least two-thirds of the growers., Votng in g referendum on ths question. , ' " '
