Wheat Referendum Scheduled July 23rd Result Will Determine Quotas and Price Support As July 23 approaches, the date for the wheat referendum, more and more growers are asking questions about the marketing quotas and the referendum, according to Chairman W. A. Harrell of the County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Committee. Pointing out that County ASC Of fice people and all county and com munity committeemen have the an swers to program operation questions, Chairman Harrell gave a quick review of answers he is most frequently call ed upon to give. The results of the referendum will determine whether or not marketing quotas, with penalties for oVerplant ing acreage allotments, will be in ef fect for the 1955 crop. They will also determine the level of price support which will be available. These and other basic questions are being studied carefully by wheat growers. Some have asked, “Who is eligible to vote?” The answer is, any farmer who would be subject to the quotas. Farms will be subject to the quotas if, the wheat to be harvested for grain i in 1955 is more than 15 acres. “If quotas are in effect, what will be 1 the penalty for failure to comply with , acreage allotments?” The penalty on , excess wheat will be at the rate of 45 per cent of the May 1, 1955, parity! price. _ , Another frequently asked question is, “How does the referendum affect 1955 price supports?” The answer is: If two-thirds or more of the farmers who vote favor quotas, the full level of price sunport which is authorized for the 1955 crop—apparently some where from 90 to 75 per cent of pari ty—will be available for those who comply with their wheat and other acreage allotments. Ts less than two thirds favor quotas, price support will be at 50 per cent of parity for those "•ho oomnlv with their acreage allot ments. No price support is available for those who fail to comply with acre age allotments, with or without the marketing quotas. In answer to another frequently asked question, Chairman Harrell states briefly how the farm allotment is determined. First the national acreage allotment is apportioned among States, and then among the counties, according to the acreage' seeded to wheat during the latest 10-j year period, adjusted for weather, trends and other factors. This year! the national acreage allotment is 55 1 million acres, the level specified by i law under present supply conditions. Allotments are determined for farms according to past wheat acreage, till able acres on each farm, crop rotation practices, type of soil, and topography. Farmers in doubt about their eligi bility to vote in the referendum, or any program question, should see their County ASC Office. Due to the small number of pro ducers who will be eligible to vote in the referendum in Chowan Countv there will be iust one polling place in the county. The voting place will be the County ASC Office. The polls will open at 8:00 A. M., and close at 5:00 P. M., on Friday, July 23.

Galuppo was on the stand with Paul t | Whiteman and Jan Garber before his w enlistment hi 1925. His first U. S. s Army assignment was with the 10th p Coast Artillery Band at Fort Adams, n R. I. Soon, however, he got a baton s< of his own and directed the dance or- b chestra for Madison Barracks, N. Y. d In the next 15 years, the sergeant t gave out with the music via saxophone t or clarinet at various Army posts. h Two years with the Fifth Division 0 Band in Iceland brought some frigid 11 duty for Galuppo.

Six. Answer Yes. For example, soil that is low either in phosphate lime will usually be covered with broom-' straw. If the land is properly phos phated and limed and the broomstraw moved so as to reduce competition for soil nutrients, white Dutch clover and bluegross will normally come into pro duction without applying any seed to the land. More than one fertility fac tor can be responsible for this particu lar weed. Selecting land on the basis of the weeds growing on it may or may not mean that the soil is suit- j able for a particular crop. A soil test is your best bet.
