The polls .will be open in the 14 polling places of the county from 8 a. m. to Q p. m. How the fanners will vote ^ will determine whether quota penalties will apply, and also the level of price support for the 1961 cotton crop. All farmers who were engaged in tbe'Vfeoductlon of unland cotton in 1M0 will be eligible to vote in the referendum. The referendum is of vital concern to every grower, Walter S. Smiley, chairman of the Warren - County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said yesterday.

Smiley said, if at least two-thirds of the votes cast in the referendum are in favor of the program. In that case, price support will be available at not more than 90 or less than 70 per cent of parity for the 1961 crop of upland cotton. If the referendum carries, quota penalties will apply to any cotton produced in excess of allotment Smiley said that if more man one-third of the voters are against quotas, there would be no quota penalties, and tbo price support level to eligible growers would drop to 50 per cent of parity.

I Warrenton's official count is 1124?114 less than shown in the preliminary census report, and 42 less than was shown by the 1950 census. The revised count shows that for the first time in 50 years Warren ton showed a population decline in a census report. The report also shows that Norlina was the only town in the county to show a population gain, although this gain was so less man snown in me preliminary report, and Littleton's loss of population was less than shown in the preliminary report. The official count for Norlina is 927, compared with the preliminary count of 972, and the 1950 count of 869. Littleton's official count is 1924. 'compared with the preliminary count of 1011 and the 1950 count of 1173. The official figures show that Warren County's population 19,652 is exactly 100 less than the prelininary figures of 19,752 The 1950 population figures for the county were 23,539, and the loss during the ten-year period was 3,887. The final count also shows that every township in Warren County showed a population loss with the greatest loss occuring in Sixpound, 483, and percentage wise 31.9. A breakdown in population figures according to race has not yet been released, but there is little to indicate in the combined figures released in the advance report that there will be any substantial change in the- White-Negro ratio in the county.
