Cotton Vote Just what a "yes" or a "no" vote will mean in the December 10 referendum on cotton mar keting quotas was explained to day by George Bellmon, Per quimans County ASCS office manager. All farmers who en gaged in the production of up land cotton in 1963 are eligible to vote in the referendum. Bellmon said that 'the basic program 'choices are: 1. If at least two-thirds of the growers who vote in the referendum approve of quotas, the quotas will be in effect for the 1964 upland cotton crop, marketing penalties will apply to any "excess" cotton pro duced on a arm, a.nd price sup port at a level within the range of 65 to 90 per cent of parity will be available to farmers who comply with their farm acreage allotments. 2. On the other hand, if more than one-third of the growers who vote oppose 'the quotas, then there will be no quotas and no penalties applicable to the 1964 upland cotton crop, and price support to farmers who comply with their farm acre age allotments will be avail able at 50 per cent of parity, as directed by law. Allotments are not affected by the outcome of the balloting. They will remain in effect whether or not quotas are ap-proved-ras a means, of determ ining eligibility for the available price support. Bell"ioh pointed out that, while the Secretary of Agricul ture is directed by law to pro, claim quotas for the next crop when the total cotton supply exceeds normal, it is the grow ers themselves who decide whether or not quotas shall be used. Previous votes on the subject have been outstandingly favorable. Marketing quotas for the 1963 upland cotton crop were approved by 93.7 per cent of. the growers voting. Allotments for i individual farms will be made available to growers within the next few weeks, so that farmers may have the information prior to the De cember ,10 referendum.

Pointing to the recognition that Tar Heel bankers have won for their service to agriculture through the farm programs of the NCBA, President Mason thanked the 100 County Key Bankers for their service. He noted their continuing help in the promotion of the NCBA's programs to assist in building a sound farm economy in North Carolina. The Association con tinues to spend more time and money on its farm programs than any other phase of its activity, he reported.
