6.41 per cent. The .43 per

affairs brought improvement Of
water and electrical service in

While no projects are under
way and no immediate action is
being taken, the board has i'm
proved conditions under con-
sideration and expects to be able
to take some kind of action in
the near future.
In addition to discussion on the
latter utilities, the board trans
acted routine business and ap-
proved routine bills.
The group recently supervised
the cleaning up and land
scaping of the grounds sur

by the secretary of agriculture,
as required by legislation when
ever the available supply of
wheat is more than 20 percent
above the normal supply. How
ever, quotas will not become
effective unless they are ap-
proved by at least two-thirds of
the producers voting in the re-
ferendum.
If quotas are approved for the
1860 wheat crop, it will mark the
seventh consecutive year they
have been used for wheat. Wheat
quotas and acreage allotments
apply only in the 80 so-called
"commerciap' wheat states, of
which Ohio is one.
The present law, the chairman
explained, states that, to be
eligible to vote in the referen-
dunn, grower must expect to
have more than Is acres of wheat
for harvest as grain in 1860. A
wheat grower who signs an ap-
plication under the feed wheat
provision permitting him to pro-
duce up to 30 acres of wheat as
feed on his farm will not be
eligible to vote. Every wheat
grower will be informed of the
individual wheat allotment for
his farm in advance of the
referendum date.
AS usual, Chairman Carter
says, the ASC committee will
set up one polling place which
will be at the ASC office in Cald-
well.
If quotas are approved in the
referendum, the present law
provides that farmers who COM
ply with their wheat acreage
allotments will be eligible to
market all their wheat without
restriction. A grower who ex-
ceeds his allotment will be sub
iect to marketing quota penalties
on his excess wheat if he has
more than Is acres of wheat for
harvest as grain. If quotas are
not approved, there will be no
restrictions on wheat marketing.
