All farmers 18 years of age or older who shared in the 1966 bur ley tobacco crop or Vs process are eligible to vote in «the special referesdum. Al so • eligible *io vote age the owners and operators of a burley tobacco allotment farm where as tobacco was pro duced in 1966. The acreage poundage program will go in to effe it if it is approved by more than two-thids of *the growers voting. J W. Tomberlin, Chairman, ASC County Committee, ur ged growers to consider care fully the facts about the ac reage-ponndage program. He pointed out that tobacco growers th r ou"hout the years h*ve \ demonstrated Cheir w llinghess to mai-#tain a sound program, with few ex ceptions, ithey have voted ov erwhelming approval of the use of quotes in marketing their crop in an orderly man ner even though that oV.-m mnnt keeping their acreage within smaller a->d smaller farm a’lotments.

The acreage-poundage pro gram allcf.ments for 1987 are about 10 8 percent larger than for 1966. The 1967 allot ments under the acre-ge pro gram for most farms are the same as In 1966. Instead, the newer program would use poundage quotas as a protec tion against excess.ve market ings. This should, 1) permit holding supplies more effec tively in balance with de mand; 2) increase farm income through improvemert In quality which should re sult in increased exports; and 3) reduce government price support cots. Price support under the ac reage-poundage program will be available in 1967 and up to 120 percent of the farm poun dage quota and an HO per cest in subsequent years if the harvested acreage on the farm is within the farms acreage-poundage allotment. Penalties will be due on all tobacco mark ted in excess of 120 percent of the farms 1967 poundage quota.
