Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College, is urging every af fected farmer to cast his ballot in the two-crop referenda March 12. “ We want to get a vote repre sentative of the wishes of most growers,” Floyd declared, “but we ( shall be handicapped unless every grower makes it a point to visit his . community polling place that day to vote either yes or no on the quotas.” 1 The balloting will be in charge of the county committee of Agricultu- J ral Conservation Association. Three farmers in each community will be r appointed by the county committee to hold the polls in their township.

If he pro- j duced both crops, then he will be permitted to vote on both cotton and tobacco; otherwise, he can ex press his opinion only on that crop which he produced. A two-thirds majority will be ne- j cessary to put the 1938 quotas into effect. Tobacco and cotton quotas } will be given each state, which will be divided up among the farmers of each county. Mass meetings of farmers at j which representatives of the AAA office at State College will be pres ent have been scheduled for each ( of the 80 counties affected by the referenda.
