Wheat Marketing
Quota Referendum
To Be Held July 20

Eligible wheat growers will have
an opportunity to vote for or
against marketing quotas for the
1857 wheat crop on Friday, July 20,
according to an announcement by
H. Robert Dewitt, Chairman of the
County ASC Committee. The pres
ent large supply of wheat has made
it necessary for a referendum to
be held to determine whether or
not the marketing quota program,
with penalties for excess wheat,
which is now in effect will continue
for next years crop.
All voting will be done at the
County ASC office which is To-
Gated at 60 Third Street in Oakland.
Voting hours are from a. m. to
7 p. m, daylight time.
All farmers who plan to harvest
more than Is acres of wheat for
grain from one farm in 1857 are
eligible to vote.
If marketing quotas are approved
by two-thirds or more of the farm
ers voting in the Referendum ma
tionally they will continue in eff
feet for 1857. If quotas remain in
effect those farmers who harvest
more wheat than their acreage al
lotment and also more than Is acres
will be required to pay a penalty
on the excess wheat. Price support
at level between IS percent and
80 percent of parity will be avail
able to all farmers who do not eX-
coed their wheat acreage allotment
if marketing quotas are approved.
Marketing quotas and acreage al
lotments apply TO all wheat to be
harvested as grain regardless of
what the wheat is to be used for,
and also to mixtures of wheat and
other grains.
If marketing quotas are not APP
proved there will be no penalties
for producing excess wheat, how
ever, in this case the level of price
support will drop to 50 percent of
parity for those farmers who har-
vest within their acreage allotment.
Wheat acreage allotment notices
were mailed to wheat growers in
June, Mr.. Dewitt stated.

other plant operations of the COM
pany in other cities. Paige Hickman,

Mr.. Sherwood said this decision
had been reached only after CON
siderable study of the problem,

nomic condition, and one that could
not be helped under present gov
crnmcnt regulations.

more patrons who had been bring
ing in about $4,000 gallons of milk
per month, amounting to a month
ly payroll of some $4,000. Prior to

wood, accompanied the latter to
