W heat Growers In
Ohio TO Vote On

COLUMBUS-Ohio wheat grow
ers will join those in SO other
wheat-producing states June 20 in
a marketing quota referendum on
the 1858 wheat crop.
This will be the fifth successive
year that producers have voted on
wheat marketing quotas. Farmers
nationally have voted quotas on
the last A wheat crops.
Ohio farmers who have more
than Is acres of wheat for harvest
as grain in 1858 are eligible to
vote in the referendum, according
to Wallace Barr, Ohio State Uni
versity extention economist. Ohio'S

some of the high rent money they
get to do so themselves. Some pro-
perty owners even allow their own
trash to collect from year to year.
Tin cans and trash are piled in
back yards and half way through
alleys to become a health menace,
and place for mosquitoes and rats
to breed.
Do we still have a board of
health and a fire marshall? If so

ed, Barr explains, the national av-
erage support price available to
eligible producers in the CONNER
cial wheat area will be not less
than $1.78 bushel (slightly high
er in Ohio), or IS percent of par
ity. The nations wheat supply now
is 142 percent of the normal sup
ply, Barr notes. Legislation pro-
vides that the price support mini
mum be IS percent of parity when
the supply reaches 130 percent or
more of normal.
If marketing quotas are disap-
proved, there will be no restric-
tions on wheat marketings, the &C.
onomist points out Acreage allot-
ments will remain in effect as a
condition of eligibility for price
support at so percent of parity.
Ohios wheat acreage allotment
for 1858 is 1853, ,180 acres-slight-
ly less than its allotment this year.
The 1858 national allotment is IS
million acres, the minimum fixed
