Provided at least two-thirds of
me growers votirg approve mar
keting quotas for the 1860 I'D
lanc cotton crop, the chairman
explained, the individual farm
operator, as in 1859, will be able
to choose between the Choice A
and Choice(B> allotment and
price support programs.
Choice (A) will include the
regular" farm allotments and
price support on cotton grown In
compliance with the (A) allot-
ment at not less than Is precent
Of parity - the exact level to BE-
announced later. Choice (B) will
include an allotment which Is
30 precent larger than the "reg-
ular" farm allotment, and price
support on eligible cotton at not
less than so percent of parity.
Mr.. Jordan stated that farm
ers will be in formed of both
allotmenls for their farms well
in advance of Il December Is

II the 1860 crop vote Is fav-
orable, farm operators will later
receive notice of the price sup
port available on their cotton
under both choices, and of the
deadline by which they must
register their election of a choice
(B) allotment at the ASC county
office. IF the operator wishes to
grow his cotton under Choice
(A>, no action need be taken;
Choice (A) will automatically
apply on the farm if the farm
operator does not elect Choice
