MARKETING QUOTAS" DIS
CUSSED HERE TUESDAY

Two meetings on marketing
Quotas" were held here Tuesday fn
the Maccabee hall, with Frank Carr.
county chairman of the AAA pre-
gram, presiding. The guest speaker
was ID. d. Deeds, member OF the
Ohio Agricultural Conservation
committee. In the forenoon he ad-
dressed the community committee
men on Marketing Quotas" and In
the afternoon he spoke to a repre-
sentative crowd of farmers and busi-
ness men, on the same subject.
The speaker pointed out that un-
der the AAA act. the law demands
that marketing Quotas" shall be
voted on when the supply of wheat
or corn reaches 35 percent above
normal consumption and exports.
That point has now been reached.
Morgan county is only interested in
a direct manner, and in the matter
of wheat only. Mr. Deeds stated
that in the country at present, the
wheat surplus is approximately
400, 100000 bushels-enough to fill
bin 20 feet in diameter and zoe
miles high. Since Canada has a two
years supply on hands and Great
Britain years supply, it can be
readily seen that there is no ex-
port market. ''Marketing Quotas"
will effect no farmer unless the
planted acreage of wheat, yields 200
bushels or more. Farms not affect
ed, can market all raised without
penalty, and any one can market all
they raise within their wheat allot-
ment without penalty. Wheat pro-
duced on acreage in excess of their
allotment producing 200 bushels,
may be stored on the farm and mar
keted on next years marketing
quotas without penalty, provided
the farm reduces the acreage for
the next year.
The question of Marketing
Quotas will be voted on nationally.
and takes two-thirds vote to car
ry. In the event the proposition is
voted down there would be no ben
eft of commodity loans for wheat
or corn.
County Agent James Hum spoke
briefly, in which he stated that we
are making history, and emphasized
the necessity of getting the infOr-
nation across to farmers so that
they will understand.
Incidentally it is interesting to
note that Ohio has more wheat
producers than any other state in
the union-this does not mean that
it is the leading wheat producing
state.
In connection with the conserva-
ton program two hour all-talking
picture program will be put on
April IA There will be six pic
lures, one of them, being market
ing Quotas Others are ''Plows,
planes and Peace" "Farm and
City-Forward Together" and 'sMen
Who Grow Wheat"
