Cotton Vote
Warren County cotton farm
ers will have an opportunity
to decide whether they can
transfer cotton allotments, by
sale or lease, outside the
county but within th e State.
Similar referendums were
held in 1965 and 1966. To
date, growers in 412 counties
throughout the Cotton Belt
have approved such transfers.
The vote this year is being
held only in counties where
such transfers have not pre
viously been approved.
Voting Time Set
The voting will be held from
May 15 through May 19. You
can mail in your marked bal
lot or brings it to the Agri
cultural Stabilization and Con
servation Service office dur
ing that time. Your ballot must
either be in the ASCS office
by the close of business or be
postmarked by midnight Maj
19 to be counted.
What The Vote Will Decide
The referendum will de
cide only the question of
whether upland cotton allot
ments may be transferred by
sale or lease to another farm
outside the county during the
next two years. In no case can
transfers be made outside the
State.
The vote will not affect the
transfer of upland cotton allot
ments by sale or lease from
one farm to another within
the same county. This is al
ready provided by law. Neith
er will the vote affect trans
fers by a farm owner from
one farm to another owned or
contolled by him, which now
can be made across county
lines within the State.
Two-Thirds Decision
If at least two-thirds of the
growers of upland cotton
voting in the county mark their
ballots "Yes," transfers of
allotments outside the county
can be made during the
authorized transfer periods
for the 1968 and 1969 crops.
(A lease is for any specified
number of crop years; a sale,
of course, is a permanent
transfer of allotment.)
If more than a third of the
growers voting mark their
ballots "NO", transfers of
cotton allotments outside the
county cannot be made for the
1968 crop year, and another
referendum on the question
will be held next year.
Can you Vote?
You are eligible to vote in
the referendum if you are an
upland cotton producer in the
county. If you have any ques
tion about being eligibl e to
vote, you should get in touch
with your ASCS office. Bal
lots were mailed to all known
cotton producers. But if you
know of a cotton grower who
did not receive aballot through
the mail, tell him to contact
the ASCS office.
Public Count
All eligible ballots will be
counted publicly by the ASCS
County Committee. Your bal
lot will be kept secret. Other
people will not know how you
voted unless you tell them
yourself.
Time and place for count
ing the ballots will be an
nounced in advance; you and
anyone who wants to will be
welcome to witness the count.
IMPORTANT! Make your vote
count. Get your ballot to the
ASCS office by May 19.
Here is the wording on the
ballot: "Are you in favor of
transferring upland cotton al
lotments by sale or lease to
farms in another county in
this State during 1968 and
1969?"
At the present time, Warren
cotton producers are eligible
to sell or lease acreage to
other cotton farmers in War
ren County. This vote is
to determine if cotton pro
ducers desire a larger
area of opportunity in which
to transact any desired lease
or sale of allotments.
This is the "meat of
the cocoanut" so you, as a
producer, has the opportunity
to say "Yes" or "No".
