Farmers Here In
Agreement With
National Votes

Madison County wheat farmers
voted along with the rest of the
nation Thursday in approving the
wheat marketing quotas for 1858
according to Russell Lightle, man.
ager of the Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion and Conservation office for
Madison County.
Lightle pointed out that al
though only about ten per cent of
the eligible farmers voted, they
gave the county approximately the
two-thirds vote which was requir-
ed for overall passage. Lightle
said the excellent working weather
on the referendum date, and the
fact that most farmers are far be-
hind with their crops probably
kept down the vote here, but he
said ne felt the vote was just about
the same way it would have gone
had all eligible farmers gone to the
polls.
The final count in Thursdays
voting here indicated 81 farmers
favored the quotas, Al opposed
them and one vote was challenged
(did not count. Lightle said ap-
proximately 1900 farmers were
eligible to vote here. Madison
county had a $3.50 per cent for the
quotas, just a fraction under the
necessary two-thirds had county
votes ruled the local marketing
laws.
Technically, the farmers were
deciding between limited acreage
and higher prices or unlimited ac-
erages and lower prices.
Voting across the nation and in
nearby counties went as follows:
Incomplete returns from 80
states early Friday gave 100,515
for and 24,061 against the controls.
This was a majority of 807 per
cent, far in excess of the necessary
two-thirds. Unless the trend is un-
expectedly reversed, quotas will
again this year be approved by a
wide margin.
In Clark County, with only 90
farmers going to the polls, the
vote was 81 for marketing quotas
and % against Six votes were
challenged. The percentage in fav-
or of quotas was about 68 per cent.
There were 848 wheat farmers
eligible to vote in the referendum.
The vote in Champaign County
was u to 81 for quotas, or II per
cent in favor of marketing con-
trolls. About 800 were eligible to
vote.
In both the counties, the number
of farmers casting ballots in the
wheat referendum was consider
ably smaller than last year.
The Logan County vote was AZ
for quotas and 10 opposed. One
vote was challenged. The percent
age in favor of controls was about
SO per cent. There were SAT eligi-
BILE voters.
The Greene County returns
showed approval of quotas by a
vote of 107 to 46, or SO per cent
in favor of the controls. There
were 1,176 farmers eligible to vote.
The total vote cast was about 100
less than last. year.

Steel Demand

Easiness in steel demand has
hit sheets. strip. bars. wire and
tinplate and other coated prod
ucts. Iron Age said today.
But the national metalVorks

said, ARE buying strictly on the
basis of their own business out

the availability Of various steel
products.
The auto companies FIRE still
content to wait and see how
their new models will sell.
While their steel inventories
are far from robust, they do not
plan to commit themselves for
heavy tonnages until they see
which way the wind is blowing.
Demand for oil country
goods is not so hectic as it once

How to Be Hep
" SYLvIA PORTER

To be hep In economic circles
today and to be able to sling
the baffiegab with the best Of
the highway. these are phrases
you should know and use with
aplomb:
Routine Prosperity: That's
the condition In which q lot Of
experts say our economy is right
now. It suggests that business
is just droning along at an ex-
ceedingly high level, neither
moving toward renewed boom
nor toward q downturn Of i'm
portant magnitude.
Controlled Panic: This is
the atmosphere Russia's Sput-
mix is creating in the Defense
Department and among key
military men and scientists.
One morning you'll read we
must go in for a crash program
on missiles and satellites, spend
ing whatever extra billions are
asked TO get our Vanguard out
Of the rearguard. The same eve
ming. you'll read that we can
get along fine without any in
crease in spending on missiles.
and II we do spend more to try
to get ahead in the space race.
we should Offset this by cut
backs In other areas Of defense
spending.
Creeping Imitation; With
this one, you convey the inn
preston Of a gradual creep up
ward in the cost Of living. a
gradual creep downward in the
dollars buying power. There's
nothing sensational about the
trend; the creep" is described
specifically as not exceeding a
rise in prices averaging 2 to 3
per cent annually over the
years.
Preventive Recession: This
is what some men believe we
should be encouraging now to
stop creeping imitation. The
idea is: Let conditions get
worse-or help them TO get
worse--to the point where a
few million more will be unem-
ployed and both businessmen
and union leaders will redis-
cover what 1t takes to make
and keep q buck. A little re-
cession now will prevent a big
bust later. say they.
Counsel Of Despair: Here is
how other men condemn the
advice Of those who argue for a
preventive recession. Prosperity
is not so painful, they retort.
