Wheal Groiver Registration Explained Just why "Small farm" wheat operators are being asked to register at their ASCS County Office more than 7 days In ad vance of the 1964 wheat pro gram referendum was clarified today by John R. Davis, ASCS Office Manager of Franklin County. "Small farms" are those with wheat allotments of less than 15 acres._All growers on such a farm will be eligible to vote In the May 21 referendum If the operator of the farm Indicates in advance an Intention to par ticipate In the program is an allotment grower If the pro gram Is approved. This choice has to be made at the county office by May 13. According to the. Manager, voter eligibility for the 1964 wheat referendum Is establish ed by law, much the same way as State law provides that vot ers be legal residents of the State, subject to State laws, and registered to vote ?t a prescribed time In advance of the election. No one is being told how vote, Mr. Davis emphasised. The referendum ballot Is se cret, and the producer does not have to declare In ad vance how he will vote on the Towns Voting On Now Boards Today Citizens of Loulsburg and Youngsvllle are going to the polls today to elect Mayors and Councllmen for the ensu ing two years. The turnout Is expected to be relatively light In Loulsburg and Youngsvllle where the lack of hot races and Issues saw little Interest generated. Majot attention In Frihklln .County will be focused on Frank llnton, where there Is a red hot contest for Mayor between incumbent Mayor Joe Pearce and former Mayor Calvin Brown and Frankllnton Township, where there are two negro candidates In the race for School Baord. Barring a major upset, all three Incumbent Loulsburg City Councllmen running are expect ed to be returned to office alonf with Mayor Louis A. Wheless, who Is unopposed, with the three other Council seats being filled frofti a field of seven other candidates. In Youngsvllle there Is a race for Mayor between Melvln J. Young and Jones H. Winston for the post vacated by Mayor A. E. Hall, who did not file for re election. None of the five in cumbent Town Commissioners were opposed for re-election. In addition to the Mayor's race at Frankllnton, ten hope fuls filed as candidates In the race for the Town Board, which has three Incumbents seeking re-election. v program. The small-farm op erator - like other wheat grow ers may vote "yes" or "no" as he chooses. What the small farm wheat operator Indicates on the form MQ - 24, which he files at the county office by May 13, is that, if marketing quotas are approved, he wants his farm to l>e eligible for wheat ' price * support, for marketing ? certificates, and for acreage diversion payments. He is aware that these various parts of the wheat program will be available to growers who keep within their acreage allotments and meet other program ~pm visionsf The "small grower"" Is merely "choosing to par tic i pate as an allotment grow er' ' In advance of the vote. Mr. Davis explained that former legal provisions, under which any farm could produce as much as 15 acres of wheat without t>eing subject to market ing quota penalties, have t>een eliminated by the new law. The new law also removed authori zation for production of up to 30 acres of wheat for feed or other use on the farm where it was produced. For 19G4, each participating small farm will have an allot ment which will be the larger of (a) the farm's allotment bas ?d on the national allotment, "or (b^ 90 percent of the farm's average 1950-61 wheat aye rage -- but not more than 15 acres. All the production from the participating farm's allotment acres may be market ed free of quota penalties. Under the wheat program, a farmer with a small farm allot ment who did not choose to par ticipate in the program would be able to plant the larger of his allotment or his 1950-61 average acreage (but not more than 15 acres) without a market ing quota penalty. However, he would not be eligible to vote in the referendum, and he would not be eligible for diversion payments or price support. Wh?at produced nn such farms could be marketed, or used as seed or feed.
