Cotton Vote To Determine Loans For 1943 Crops Federal Cotton Loans Can not Be Made in Any Year When Less Than Two Thirds of the Eligible Voters Fail to Approve by Referendum. PRODUCERS VOTE ON SATURDAY, DEC. 12TH There Is an Increase of Poll ing Places This Year to Conserve Transporta tion Facilities When North Carolina cotton producers vote on Saturday. De cember 12, on the question of marketing quotas am, the 1943 crop, they wjll, in effect, be casting a ballot for or against the 90 per cent of parity loan, according to Tom M. Cornwell, Cleveland County farmer and a member of the State AAA Com mittee. with headquarters at State College. Under provisions of the Agri cultural Adjustment Act of 1938, there can be no federal cotton loans in any year when less than two-thirds of the eligible producers voting fail to approve quotas in a national referendum. Granting of loans without quotas, Cornwell explained, would be disastrous for the en tire farm program. If loans are available, some control must be maintained by farmers over the amount they produce in order to bring supplies in line with demand. “There is no question about it, the present price of cotton is due largely to loans and quotas, and not to the war sit uation,” he said. “Although do mestic consumption of cotton has risen to new high levels, most of our foreign markets have been closed due to the war.
