COTTON ELECTION

for All Section of This
County.
REFERENDUM WILL
BE HELD THROUGHOUT
SOUTH ON DECEMBER 9
Series of Meetings Will Be
Held to Outline The
New Program.
On December 9*h the farmers of
the cotton belt will vote on the
question of cotton marketing quotas.
The question is not whether we will
have the Farm Program or not, this
is already law and the Farm Pro
gram will operate regardless of the
out come of the Referendum. The
question that will be decided by the
re f eren dum is '' whether there will be
! , . no t
« * vote is favorable and we
have cotton quotas it simply means
that a farmer who overptafits his
allotted acreage will be taked 3 cents
per pound on his excess production.
If the vote in unfavorable then a
farmer who overplays his permitted
aeftage will not be subject to tax.
Farmers planting within their per
mitted acreage will draw their bene
fits regardless of whether we hav«
quotas or not. The question finally
comes down to this, if you think a
farmer who overplants his permitted
acreage should be taxed 3 cents per
pound on the excess production then
vote for Quotas. If you think a farm
er who overpiants his permitted
: acreage should not be taxed on hU
| excess production then vote against

In order for farmers to have a

the land now so that the seed bed

firm seed bed makes for a much bet
