PAGE FOUR UcWSCnON TWO Tar Heel Farmers Will Make ipighly Important Decisions In Forthcoming Referendums Jtorth Carolina farmers will make five important decisions on November 25 and December 15. will troop to the polls and vote in corn, cotton, tobacco, and peanut referendums that will have a great deal to do with the pros pects of these crops in the com ing years. On November' 25 farmers will choose between two corn pro grams, and on December 15, to bacco and cotton quota programs 1 Will be decided. Also on Decern- j bar 15, tobacco and peanut grow- j ers will decide whether to con-j tinue to assess themselves for the j promotion of their crops. j Every agricultural leader in thej state is urging every eligible farmer to vote. And a great deal of effort on the part of many peo ple will be expended betwe«i now and the voting dates to make sure every farmer is familiar with the issues involved. Harry B. Caldwell, master of i the North Carolina State Grange, | and A. C. Edwards, executive vice president of the N. C.

T„La TRA/lIVAYS I i If you're going places, for business pleasure. V duce the biggest farm commodity vote in the state’s history. Reasons for the great informa tion effort are; the obvious im | portance of the vote to North i Carolina agriculture; and com plexity of the issues to be decid ed. In the November 25 corn refer endum growers in the state's 32 commercial corn counties will vote either to continue the pres ! ent ASC com program which pro | vides price supports from 75 to !90 per cent of parity, or a new program which provides for no [ acreage allotments and no desig nation of commercial corn coun ' ties. Under the present program the minimum support rate is 75 per cent of parity; under the new program the minimum would be 65 per cent of parity. In the December 15 cotton ref erendum growers will decide whether they want marketing quotas with supports of between 65 and 80 per cent of parity along With penalties for over-planting or no marketing quotas and over planting penalties with 50 per cent of parity supports. If the cotton referendum doesn’t carry there will be no quotas, no penalties and 50 per cent sup ports; however, allotments will be in effect regardless of the out come of the referendum. If the referendum does carry each farm er will have an opportunity to choose the kind of allotment-price support program he wants to comply with. This consists of two choices: (1) his “regular” farm allotment with price sup ports for complying at not less than 80 per cent of parity: and (2) a farm allotment up to 40 per cent larger with a price support of 15 per cent of parity less than it would be under the “regular” al lotment. Prior to the December 15 vote cotton farmers Will be furnished information showing what their allotment will be under either al ternative, according to the state ASC office. , If quotas are approved in the referendum, growers who exceed their chosen farm acreage allot ment in 1959 will be subject to a penalty of 50 per cent of the cot ton parity price as of June 15, 1959, on the farm’s excess produc tion. In addition, all cotton pro duced on the farm will be ineligi ble for price supports. In the tobacco referendum on December 15 farmers will choose between continuing the present quota system with its 90 per cent of parity supports with penalties for over-planting, and abolishing THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON.

Quo tas on tobacco may be voted for one year, or for three years, or they may be voted out for one year. On December 15, also, tobac co farmers will vote on whether to continue the present 10 cents per acre self-assessment 'for pro motion of tobacco. There will al so be an opportunity to vote on an increase in the assessment up to $1 per acre. The money will be used to expand the services of Tobacco Associates in foreign countries by setting up an office and stepping up the advertising phase of the program in order to expand the use of American flue cured tobacco abroad. The Asso ciates hope.' also, to counteract some of the current adverse pu blicity about tobacco and health. And the state’s peanut growers will go to the polls on December 15 to vote on continuing their 2 cents per hundred pounds self assessment for promotion of pea nut sales.
