vote io impose quotas for one year
only. or against the imposition of any
tuotas.
Disastrous prices for this year's
crop face the tobacco growers if
quotas arc rejected, Mr. Rogers said,
and prospects are little brighter if a
control program for one year only
is approved.
Hut if quotas are voted for three
years, he declared, prices of 15 cents
to Hi cents a pound are practically
assured, quotas lor the 11)41 crop
would be the same as for this year,
.net no farm allotment can be cut
more than Id percent from the 11)41)
allotment during the entire three
year period and no reduction will be
made in any allotment which was
two acres or less in 15)40.
Any farmer who will share in the
proceeds of the 1940 lobaeco crop is
eligible to vote in the referendum
on July lit). Announcement will be
made later as to voting places in the
county.
