A. Harrell. Chairman of the Chowan County Agricultural Stabilization arid Conservation Committee. The marketing quota program 1 will be in operation for next year’s crop, the chairman explains, if at least two-thirds of the votes cast in the referendum arc in favor of the program. In that case, price support will be available for the 1955 crop of upland cotton at a level between 82'.;: and 90 per cent »f parity. If more than, one-third of the votes are against quotas, the price support level to eligible growers would drop to 50 per cent of parity. The choice before cotton grow ers. according to Mr. Harrell, es sentially is whether or not they want a reduced acreage and price support between 82 1 g and 90 per cent of parity.
