Cotton Allotment Transfer
Vote To Be Held In May
Cotton farmers in Newton
County will vote the middle of May
to decide whether they want to be
able to sell or lease their cotton
allotments outside the county,
H. G. Jones, Chairman Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion County Committee, has ann
ounced. The referendum on the
question will be conducted during
the period May 13 through May 17.
Ballots may be returned by mail
or delivered by hand to the ASCS
County Office during that time.
Mailed ballots must be post
marked not later than May 17
and must arrive at the ASCS
county Office before ballots are
counted on May 22.
The only question to be de
cided by the balloting is whe
ther 1969 upland cotton allot
ments may be transferred to
farms which are located in other
counties by sale or by lease.
Transfers of allotments by an
owner to a farm that he owns or
controls may be made across
county lines without regard to the
outcome of the referendum. In
no case may tranfers be made
outside the State. An affirma
tive vote by at least two-thirds
of the county’s cotton farmers
who vote will permit such trans
fers by sale or lease for 1969.
Three similar referendums
were conducted in 1965, 1966
and 1967, and growers in 95
counties throughout the Cotton
Belt have already voted—in 1966
or 1967—t0 approve such trans
fers for the 1969 crop.
The 1965 vote, however, cov
ered only the 1966-68 crops, so
the vote this year will be held in
counties where such transfers
have not previously been app
roved for 1969, including those
where transfers were approved
in the 1965 vote.
The Chairman points out that
voting by mail is easy and con
venient, and the vote therefore
should be large and fully rep
resentative of the wishes of the
cotton farmers in the county.
Copies of the ballot will be
sent to all cotton producers of
record in the county, together
with information describing the
program’s purpose and opera-

Cotton Premiums, Discounts Announced
Upland cotton premiums and
discounts for grade and staple
length and micronaire readings
which will be used by the Com
modity Credit Corporation in
making price-support loans on
eligible qualities of the 1968 crop
have been announced by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. As
under the 1967 program, pre
miums and discounts are pro
vided for all official grades of
upland cotton.
Rufus Adams, Chairman,
Georgia Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation State Com
mittee, explains that the base loan
tion. Any cotton producer who
has a question about their re
ferendum or about who is eli
gible to vote is urged to get in
touch with the ASCS County Off
ice.
Birds can be found almost ev
erywhere in the world. Accord
ing to Dave Almand, wildlife
specialist with the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service, there are 800 species
of birds in North America.

rate for 1968-crop Middling 1-
inch upland cotton at average lo
cation will be 20.25 cents per
pound, gross weight, before ad
justments for micronaire pre
miums and discounts. On the ba
sis of premiums and discounts for
grade and staple length and the
average production of each qual
ity for the period 1962 through 19-
66, the loan rate for Middling 1-
inch cotton is 56 points above
the national average support
price for all qualities. There
fore, the national average supp
ort price (average of the crop)
will be 19.69 cents per pound.
Lester Freeman
AMARILLO, Tex.-Airman
Lester J. Freeman, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Arnithal Freeman of
3116 Usher Street, Covington,
Ga., has been graduated from a
U. S. Air Force technical school
at Amarillo AFB, Tex.
He was trained as an admin
istrative specialist and has been
assigned to a unit of the Air Force
Logistics Command at Lindsey
Air Station, Germany.
The airman is a graduate of
R. L. Cousins High School.

This is slightly higher than the
national average support rate
used in computing the 1968 price
support payment.
The 1968 location differentials
will be the same as under the 1967
program. Schedules showing
base loan rates for Middling 1-
inch cotton at each approved
warehouse will be issued later.
The Chairman pointed out that
the 1968 loan program differen
tials for upland cotton are ex
pected to encourage production
of the more desirable qualities
of cotton by offering a greater
inducement for producers to shift
to the production of longer staple
cotton.
The market differentials be
tween short staple and long sta
ple cotton have been widening
for some time, and the 1968 loan
program differentials are wider
than under the 1967 program. De
mand has been strong this season
for the longer-staple lengths and
better qualities of upland cotton,
and it is expected that demand for
these qualities will continue
strong during the 1968-crop
