Growers Vote
ToConfinue
Cotton Quotas
By the Associated Press

The surplus-plagued cotton
crop will be grown under Fed
eral limitations again next year.
In a referendum lacking in
interest, growers voted yesterday
to continue Agriculture Depart
ment marketing quotas which
seek a crop next year a third
smaller than this year.
Preliminary returns from the
81 cotton-producing States gave
267,235 votes for quotas and TO-
19l against.
Next year will be the third
consecutive year in which Fed
eral restrictions have been i'm
posed on cotton and the 10th
time since 1888, when legisla-
ton was enacted authorizing
such limitations.
Supplies at Peak
Quotas were proposed by the
department in a move to pre-
vent the production Of additional
surplus supplies of the fiber
crop. Present supplies are the
largest of record and are suffi-
cient to meet market needs for
two full years at the present
demand.
AS in the past. growers were
Influenced to vote for controls
because Of their tieup with Gov
eminent price supports. Farm
law directs that price floors
which were at 90 per cent Of
parity this year-be reduced to
50 per cent Of parity in the event
controls are rejected.
In Dark About 1855
But in voting for quotas. farm
ers balloted somewhat In the
dark insofar as next years sup
port level is concerned. 1t will
be determined under the admin
istration's new flexible price sup
port system authorizing floors
between Is and 80 per cent of
parity.
Under the program, farmers
will be allotted 1891, 3O4 acres
for next years crop compared
with l8,113,208 allotted for this
years crop. The department
hopes the crop will be held to-
10 million bales compared with
5000 grown this year.
