Tel. 0Y 6-3283 Five Cents A Copy Louisburg. N. C . Thursday, April 18. 1963 (Eight Pages Today) 94th Year ? Number 16 Issues Of Wheat Vote Outlined The Issues on which wheat farmers will vote May 21 are really very clear-cut and the 1964 program Is similar In rtiost ways to programs which have been In effect for wheat crops in other years, John R. Davis, Office Manager of the Franklin County ASGS Office, - said today. As In past votes on wheat quotas, the May 21 referendum will determine the ? program for only one year? 1964. "And, regardless of how the 1964 wheat vote turns 'out," Davis declared, "present law and the wheat supply situation virtually assure that another referendum will be held In the spring of 1964 for the 1965 crop." ? For the 1964 wheat props, Mr. Davis explained, the fa vorable outcome of the May 21 referendum (approval by at least two-thirds of the wheat farmers voting) would mean that the wheat program avail able to program participants for next year would Include (1) allotments and quotas, with pe nalties on "excess" wheat pro duced; (2) price support at two levels--averaging )2 per bushel j nationally for 80 percent of the normal production from the al lotment acres? but not more than the normal yield of planted acres, and averaging about $1, 30 per bushel nationally for the rest of the wheat produced; and (3) diversion payments for shifting acreage from wheat s? production to a conserving use ?made on both the mandatory acreage reduction (resulting from planting within the farm acreage allotments) and on ad ditional voluntary diverted "r acreage. If the quotas are not approved by the necessary two-thirds vote, however, the program a vallable for 1964-crop wheat would Include (1) the same acre age allotments, and (2) price support at 50 percent of parity (about $1.25 per bushel, nation al average, at current parity price levels) to farmers who plant within their allotments.
