Farmers Dnllec™ 111 Affect Prices ■ - •■' l| it. Outcome of Referendum Will Determine Price Support The decision cotton farmers make when they vote in the special market ing quota referendum December 15 may mean the difference between 34- cent and 17-cent cotton next year, ac cording to M. G. Mann, general mana ger of the N. C. Cotton Growers As sociaion. The outcome of the balloting will determine the level of price support for cotton produced in 1954, he ex plained. If two-thirds or more of those voting in the referendum favor marketing quotas, supports will re main at 90 per cent of parity next year. If more than one-third of those vot ing cast ballots against quotas, the support price will drop to 50 per cent of parity for those who plant within their acreage allotments and no sup port for those who overplant. “The Secretary of Agriculture has already proclaimed acreage allotments on the 1954 crop,” Mann explained. “Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the referendum, acreage allotments will be in effect “This means,” the farm leader con tinued, “that the choice before cotton growers on December 15 essentially is whether they want a reduced acreage and 90 per cent of parity or only 50 per cent of parity for those who cooperate. “As I see it,” Mann went on, "the decision farmers of North Carolina and other cotton-growing States make that day will have a far-reaching ef fect on our economy. I hope that ev ery cotton producer will see the great importance of the question and cast a ballot in favor of marketing quotas on December 16.” TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED AD TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N.
