the growers voting approve their
use. Growers with more than Is
acres planted to wheat, and with
normal production of 200 bushels
or more, are subject to the quo
tas and are therefore eligible to
vote in the referendum.
A new minimum national al
lotment figure, and authorize
tion to hold the referendum as
late as mid-August, are provid-
ed in amendments to marketing
quota legislation which were
signed by President Eisenhower
on July IA.
Under these new provisions,
the national allotment for 1854
may not be less than 62 million
acres. Since the indicated 1881 54
wheat supply stands at an all
time high, the minimum acre
age - 62 million - is called for.
Under previous legislation,
tn minimum national allotment
was SIS million acres, whereas the
new legislation reduces the ad-
jpStment to 1876 million acres
below the 1876 million acres
planted to the 1853 wheat crop.
On July l, when the Secretary
OF Agriculture proclaimed wheat
quotas, the total supply of wheat
for l953-54 was indicated at a
record l,717 million bushels
which exceeded the normal sup
ply of l,l56 million bushels by
48 percent. Wheat quotas must
be proclaimed not later than
July l when the total supply
exceeds the normal supply by
more than 20 percent. Since that
time, later crop report boosts
the expected 1853 wheat crop
to l,l75 million bushels, and this
crop, together with a carry over
Of $50 million bushels and esti-
mated imports of S million
bushels, raises the total indicated
supply to 1,760 million bushels.
If growers approve marketing
quotas in the August IA refer
endum, price supports on the
1854 wheat crop will be avail
able to cooperators at 80 per-
cent of parity, as provided by
law. If growers do not approve
quotas, price supports will drop
to 81 percent of parity.
Under a marketing quotas pro-
gram, growers who cooperate
with their wheat acreage allot-
mentS may market all of the
wheat grown on their allotted
acres. Non-cooperators will be
subject to a penalty of As per-
cent Of the wheat parity price as
of May /, 1854 on their farm
marketing excess. The penalty
can be avoided or postponed by
withholding excess wheat from
the market. This may be done
by storing it or by delivering it
to the Secretary of Agriculture
for relief use or diversion, under
regulations established by the
Secretary.
The national wheat acreage
allotment will be apportioned
among the States, and the State
allotments among the counties,
on the basis of the acreage seed
ed for the production of wheat
during the preceding 10 years,
with adjustments for abnormal
weather and for trends in acre
age. County allotments will be
apportioned among Individual
farms according to past acreage
of wheat, tillable acres, crop
rotation practices, type Of soiA
and the slope and lay of the land.
Every wheat grower who is
affected by quotas will be noti-
fled of his acreage allotment be-
fore the referendum is held.
Further information on the local
operation of wheat quotas is
available from State and County
Producing and Marketing Ad-
Committees.

Since announcing for the office

Waterman for the City of Durant

these offices. have been
especially diligent in fighting
liquor law violations; and in or
der that Durant give its children

wholesome environment in which
to grow up, I promise you that
If l am elected l shall be active

my duties, and in view of the
persistent, stubborn and contin-
ued operation of bootlegging es-
Establishments within the corporate
limits of the City, l promise to
give my especial attention to IL
ouor law violations and to do all
within my power by use of legal
process to suppress the same.

and especially at those times
when they are required to use
them, as when going to and from
school, and if elected / promise
our children this service.
l therefore earnestly solicit
