Referendum, 
(4) that a marketing quota previously proclaimed for such 
marketing year is not in effect because of disapproval by pro-
ducers in a referendum held pursuant to subsection (c) : Pro-
vided, That if such producers have disapproved national market-
ing quotas in referenda held in three successive years subsequent 
to 1952, thereafter a national marketing quota shall not be pro-
claimed hereunder which would be in effect for any marketing 
year within the three-year period for which national marketing 
quotas previously proclaimed were disapproved by producers 
in a referendum, unless prior to November 10 of the marketing 
year one-fourth or more of the farmers engaged in the produc-
tion of the crop of tobacco harvested in the calendar year in 
which such marketing year begins petition the Secretary, in 
accordance with such regulations as he may prescribe, to proclaim 
a national marketing quota for each of the next three succeeding 
marketing years. 
(b) The Secretary shall also determine and announce, prior to the 
first day of December, the amount of the national marketing quota 
proclaimed pursuant to subsection (a) which is in effect for the next 
marketing year in terms of the total quantity of tobacco which may 
be marketed which will make available during such marketing y6ar 
a supply of tobacco equal to the reserve supply level. The amount 
of the national marketing quota so announced may, not later than 
the following March 1, be increased by not more than 20 per centum 
if the Secretary determines that such increase is necessary in order 
to meet market demands or to avoid undue restrictions of marketings 
in adjusting the total supply to the reserve supply level. 
(c) Within thirty days after the proclamation of national market-
ing quotas under subsection (a), the Secretary shall conduct a refer-
endum of farmers engaged in the production of the crop of tobacco 
harvested immediately prior to the holding of the referendum to 
determine whether such farmers are in favor of or opposed to such 
quotas for the next three succeeding marketing years. If more than 
one-third of the farmers voting oppose the national marketing quotas, 
such results >;hall be proclaimed by the Secretary and the national 
marketing quotas so proclaimed shall not be in effect but such results 
shall in no wise affect or limit the subsequent proclamation and sub-
mission to a referendum, as otherwise provided in this section, of a 
national maiketing quota.
