Wheat Growers
To Decide Quotas
Cleveland county's estimated
160 wheat growers will Join their
neighbors ,in wheat . growing
states of the nation to deterniine
on Friday whether wheat mar
keting quotas, set toy the Secre
tary of Agriculture, shall be In
force for the coming year.
Actually, J. D. Ellis, secretary
of the Agricultural Stabilization
& ?Conservation committee, said
Friday's vote will determine
whether wheat shall tie support
ed at 50 percent of parity, or
whether It shall, be supported on
a percentage now being debated
by Coqifcftal and expected to be
in the 7"mK> percent range. A
"no" vote toy the nation's wheat
growers would result In lower
percentage of support, but would
eliminate quotas and penalties.
A two-thirds favorable vote Is
required^ Mr. Ellis continued.
Under present rules any farm
er may plant up to 15 acres of
wheat without allotment, which
means he can receive next year's
" marketing cards on application.
Under the marketing qudta ar
rangement, farmers who exceed
thfeir allotments are penalized on
the excess, figured on a normal
yield per acre. In Cleveland
County, the normal yield was 18
busheln per acre in 1954.
Voting will be conducted at
the county ASC office from 8 a.
my to 6 p. ra. Friday, with Mr. El
lis predicting less than 100 far
mers would cast ballots. Allot
ments were Issued on the crop
recently harvested to 79 farms.
, Mr.. Ellis further predicted a
favorable vote for marketing
quotas In Cleveland County,
though he noted that thp great
wheat belt in the Mid-West
would undoubtedly determine
the outcome. ,
There was a substantial de
crease in United Stattes flue-cured
tobacco exports for January
April 1954, compared with the
same period of 1953.

Chief Gives Lessen
On Signal Lights
What Ib the difference between
a red blinking signal lifjht and
yellow blinking signal light?
Police Chief Hugh A. Logan,
Jr., citing the traffic light at the
corner of Mountain street and
Battleground avenue, said the
light normally works as a traf
fic light until a train approach
es the crossing. Then In order t6
keep the tracks clear of traffic,
the light begins to blink red,
which means that a motorist
must first stop to see if the way
is clear, then proceed carefully.
The yellow blinking signal
light means a motorist may prb
ceed without stopping at light,
but at a slow rate of speed,
