according to Ralph Harrill, Coun
ty Office Manager for the Agri
cultural Stabilization and Conser
vation County Committee.
In a change from1 the programs
in effect for 1959 and 1960, each
farmj operator will receive only
one allotment for 1961. This will
represent the fawn's share of the
9
national upland cotton acreage al
lotment of 18 1-2 million acres.
The allotment determines the
tffect of marketing quotas on
the individual farm.
If marketing quotas take effect

able vote in the referendum, cot-|
ton from complying farms may
'be marketed without penalty;
and is eligible for the full avail-1
able rate of price support. Even
if quotas are disapproved, com
pliance with the acreage allot
ment will determine eligibility for
the lower rate of price support a

For the past two years, farm
operators had a choice between
the regular allotment and price
support rate and a larger allot
ment with a reduced rate of sup
port. However, the law that pro
vided this special program ap
plied only to the 1959 and 1960
crops.

double stitched for added stren
