for operating a motor vehicle with

if a dealer has too many used cars

the necessary election machinery

according to Director Walter S.
Brown, of the Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service.
All farmers who produced cotton
or flue-cured tobacco in 1937 are
eligible to vote in ohe referendum.

The county comr
nated convenient les in
all cotton and f .ed tobacco

named three local farmer i.. each
community as the local referendum
committee, or election officers. Their
duties will be to open the polls not

dec ision by ma’ king the ballot "yes”
or no
Under the Adjustment Act, cotton
marketing quotas are based on farm
,. freage allotments. The marketing
q UOta . 0 f a farm, if quotas are ap
pr0 ved, will be the amount of cot
ton produced on the acreage alloted
; t0 the farm. The law provides that a
f arme r may sell without penalty all
the cotton he produces on his acre
age allotment, but if he overplants
he wiU be required to pay a penalty
of 2 cents a pound on cotton market
ed in excess of his quota ‘r he over
plants he will not only lose his con
servation payment and nis cotton
price adjustment payment on 1937
cotton but he will not be eligible
f or a government loan except on
his excess cotton, and that loan will
be at a rate 40 percent less than the
rate allowed cooperators on all their
cotton
