This Is onerous. It does not seem
that farmers would willingly submit
themselves to 1t. But 1t Is argued, in
behalf Of the bill. that farmers as a
group have an opportunity to reject
the quota system. 1t Is argued that
the system Of crop control, Of which
the quota device Is detail, will not
be imposed on raisers Of any given
crop until after . referendum of them
Is taken, and II one-third of the
farmers vote to reject the system in
any one year. the quota device will
not take effect.
Potato Quota Wins.
Now let US look into this matter of
referendum. Under an already exist
ing law. referendums were held early
in October on the question OF
imposing quotas on potato raisers.
After the referendums were held the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton announced that 81 per cent of
the farmers voting had voted in favor
Of the quota system. Thereupon the
system was put in effect on potatoes.
With the coming planting season,
quotas will be imposed on potato
raisers.
How was this referendum carried?
How did it happen that 50 per cent
Of the farmers voting voted in favor Of
it? First ef all, there was an induce
ment. Potato rasers were promised
that II two-thirds of them would vote
yes" in the referendum, all farmers
required to submit to the quota would
be given . bonus, the bonus to con-
sist Of 4 cents bushel on early po-
tatoes and 8 cents . bushel on late
potatoes.
But was this promise Of . bonus
sufdcient to persuade the potato rails
ers to vote in favor OF the quota
system? It does not seem 30. A. A. A.
says-I quote an announcement given
out October IL: "Eighty-two per cent
Of the 30,6l8 votes were in favor Of
the potato program"
Thousands Didn't Vote.
That sounds impressive But the
announcement omits something. It
omits to state how many farmers did
Evening star., 1937-12-02
Will of the Majority?
Potato Referendum Shows Relatively Small Number
Imposed Control

not vote at all. On this point inquiry
reveals that the total number Of potato
raisers in the country is upward Of
1000, and that the total number, of
so-called Commercial growers"-that
Is, growers who grow potatoes In large
quantities for the markets. upward
Of 250,000.
So what have We here? BY the vote
Of less than 10000 farmers, q quota
system was imposed which affects the
entire potato growing industry COM
prising more than SOC, 900 farmers.
The potato referendum" calls for
inquiry. Information sent me from
Dauphin County, Pa, says that the
number OF farmers who grow potatoes
IN that county Is many hundreds
but that in the referendum "just three
farmers participated" The three
voted unanimously for adoption of the
quota system. A recent issue of the
Pennsylvania Farm News says that
the total number of farmers raising
potatoes in Pennsylvania is 144,1O4.
But the total number who voted in the
referendum was 1910, Of whom 1,272
voted Eyes" and 534 voted no"
These so-called "majorities" voting
IN favor OF a quota system are gro
tesquely small. And charges are made
that even this small number of votes
IN favor OF the quota system is pro-
cured by persuasion and pressure. In
the Senate debate last Tuesday, Sen
ator Vandenberg of Michigan said
that the so-called referendums are
really called by the Secretary of
Agriculture, whipped up, unquestion-
ably, by the paid committee members
OF the structure which the Secretary
has created all over the country In
respect to his operations, and mani
testify made to order for secretarial
control Of the result. - When an
election respecting compulsion is
called, there IS in existence . great
existing machinery which Is sympa-
thetic to the general idea of compul-
sion, and there is not in existence any
comparable machinery on the other
side"
Manipulation Hinted.
senator Vandenberg's charge
amounts to asserting that these ref
erendums, and the results of them.
are manipulated by the paid agents
OF the Department Of Agriculture. Of
whom there are tens of thousands
throughout the country. In support
OF Senator Vandenberg's charge, there
Is some evidence in an A. A. A. an
nouncement put out on August II,
about then forthcoming referendum.
l quote from the announcement:
"Referenda will be conducted among
the growers - hearings will be open
70 any one wishing to attend. Exten-
sion service specialists [these are a
part OF Mr.. Wallace's armyl will
conduct educational meetings for
growers. . ."
Did these extension service spe-
cialists" act as impartial imparters
OF information? Or did they act as
Senator Vandenberg charges, as
propagandists for Secretary Wallace,s
dream of control of all crops from
Washington? I do not know. But IT
would seem As If Senator vanden-
berg's charge, il sustained, would ex-
plain q mystery. 1t would explain
why. out Of the hundreds of farmers
in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,
only three went to an A. A. A. ref
erendum-and all three voted in favor
OF the quota system.
