Wheat Quota Question
In Hands OF Voters

Growers who vote in the June 25
wheat marketing quota referendum
Will decide the question of quotas
or mo quotas, declared Alden P.
Short, Chairman of the Delaware
Agricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee. in a last min
ute reminder to wheat farmers to-
day.
Any Delaware farmer who will
harvest more than Is acres of wheat
as grain in 1856 on any one farm
is eligible to vote in the referendum.
The vote will have an important
effect on the marketing and price
support program for the 1856 wheat
crop, Mr.. Short pointed out. II at
least two-thirds of the farmers vot-
ing approve quotas, the quotas will
continue in effect for farms with
more than Is acres of wheat, with
marketing quota penalties of As per-
cent of parity on the production
from acreage in excess of farm al
lotments.
Price support on the crop in the
commercial area will be available
at S1.81 per bushel which is rs per-
cent of the transitional wheat pari-
ty of s2.3S per bushel.
If more than one-third of the vo-
ters disapprove quotas, there will
be no quotas or penalties for the
1856 wheat crop, but the available
price support to farmers who do not
exceed their farm wheat allotments
will be so percent of parity, or $1.19
as provided by law.
Mr.. Short~made it clear that
wheat acreage allotments are not
point at issue; the wheat allot-
ments will continue in effect no
matter how the vote goes in the
referendum. The law requires that
wheat allotments may be dispensed
with only in time of emergency.
Farm allotments for the 1856
wheat crop, based on State acre
age allotment of 36,37o acres, have
already been mailed to farmers. In
general, each farm on which a
wheat crop was grown in any of
the years 1853, 1854, or 1855 was
assigned an acreage allotment. For
a farm on which wheat will be
seeded in 1856 for the first time
since July 1, 1852, the farmer must
make a special application for a
new farm" allotment by August
Is, 1855.
Marketing quotas are directed by
law to be proclaimed by the Sec
retary of Agriculture in years
when the total supply of wheat ex
ceeds the normal supply by more
than. 90 percent. The supply for
1861 is estimated at 1856 billion
bushels Sc percent more than the
normal supply, and enough to meet
current needs for domestic use and
exports for the next years.
