G. Mann, general manager of the N. C. Cotton Growers Association, said to-ay. When f.irmers go to the polls Tuesday. December 13. their decis .on will dete: in:ne the level of price -upports on next year's cotton crop. Mann declared. Should more than one-third of those voting east ballots against marketing quoins, government price supports would crop to 50 per cent of narity on 1956 cotton. "While the Secretary of Agricul ture has not yet announced parity prices for the new cotton crop," Mann went on, "we do know that 50 per cent of parity would be about 17 cents, and I believe every farm er and every businessman fully un derstands what 17-cent cotton would mean to our economy next fall." At least two - thirds of the grow ers voting next Tuesday must ap prove the quotas if they are to be continued in effect in 1056. Should quotas be approved, price supports will be available to those growers who comply with their ac reage allotments. Under current leg islative provisions, this support will be between 75 and 90 per cent of parity. "This means," Mann said, "that growers can look for cotton to be supported at 30 cents or above if quotas are approved. The differ ence between 17 cents and 30 cents is the decision farmer's themselves mut make." He urged all growers to cast bal 'ois in the referendum," saying "there will be no more important Coy Hall Have Been State ASC The State Agricultural Stabiliza ioa and Conservation office said Wednesday a hearing will be grant ed two Duplin County ASC com mittee members who were dismiss ed for alleged 'irregularities in granting new-grower tobacco allot ments.
