Referendum NearS
To Decide Wheat 4,
Control Methods

Wheat growers of Delaware
will soon be making their an
nual d ecision on marketing
quotas, Chairman VIM. N. Hop
kins, of the Delaware Agricui.
tural Sterilization and Conser-
vation Committee said today.
On July %, they will ;oir
with wheat farmers in 38 other
States in a referendum to de
eide the type of marketing con
troll program they will have for
the 1860 wheat crop. The ref
erendum is held at this time SC
that farmers will know at win
ter wheat planting time wheth-
er marketing restrictions will
be in effect at harvest time in
1860.
The wheat program on which
farmers will vote, MIR. Hopkins
said, is the same as has been
in effect for several years. Mar.
keting quotas have been pro-
claimed by the Secretary of Ag-
riculture as required by the law
when supplies are excessive.
They will remain in effect only
if approved by two-thirds OF
the farmers voting in the ref
erendum.
When wheat marketing quot
as are in effect, farmers who
comply with their individual
farm wheat acreage allotments
may market their entire wheat
crop without penalty and are
eligible for price support of at
least rs percent of parity. A
grower who exceeds his allot-
ment will be subject to mar
keting quota penalties on his
excess wheat. An exception is
that any grower may produce
up to Is acres for harvest as
grain without penalty.
If more than one-third of the
voters vote for no quota con-
trolls, they do not take effect
and there are no restrictions on
wheat marketings. Price sup
port is available at so percent
of parity to farmers who COM
ply with their acreage allot-
mentS.
The marketing quota penalty
rate will be announced later,
Mr.. Hopkins said. 1t is $l.07

inch above the old cut to open
