"TheSe fights will all depend

"If Norris wants Saxton, Car

The 28-year-old ex-Marine
from nearby Canastota broke
open the fight in the 10th round

DeMarco was bleeding from
multiple cuts and was daZed and
wobbly. He flew home right after
the fight to have his own doctor
treat him. Basilio was patched
up right after the scrap and
then went to his victory party.
He required four stitches over
the right eye and four more
on his lip.
Tony received 100000 for his
wounds while BaSilio collected
$4,000. The fight drew a ca

How In the dickens can I

favor price supports but I'm not
so sure now. It seems to me
like the farmers in the Dakota

get enough acreage to keep my
rotation going properly, I'd
rather junk the supports and
take my chances. I vote no."
II more than one-third Of the

day agree with Mr.. Muncaster,
the quota allotment program
will be dropped.
Might Study Alternate Plan
There is some prospect, how
ever. that in such an event, both
the Eisenhower administration
and the Democratically con-
trolled Congress would want to
consider a substitute program.
In any event. even If allot-
ments and quotas are voted
down. farmers may voluntarily
comply with allotments and thus
be eligible for price support at
so per cent Of parity, or $1.l9
a bushel.
But II the vote on Saturday

million acres will be not less
than $1.81, on the national
average. About 80 cents q

Without mandatory allotments
quotas and penalties, the De-

would be accumulated. Some
farmers fear a price drop If all
wheat farmers can grow as much
as they want to.
Dissatisfaction with the pro-
gram stems from irritation over
allotments that are considered
small, compared with the farm
er's production capacity.
Montgomery farmers took ad-
vantage of the quota allotment
