situation, and in accordance
with the privisions of control¬
ling legislation, marketing quo¬
tas were proclaimed on October

upland and extra long staple
cotton. Proclaimed quotas must
be approved by at least two-
thirds of the producers who
vote in referendums before they
can be made effective. The votes
of growers on December 15 gave
the necessary approval.

proved quotas for 1954. Th,e

cent. In the last previous cot¬

land cotton referendum. Of
these, 447,306 were “Yes” votes;
were “No” votes and 5,-
033 vqtes were challenged and

land cotton referendum in
Georgia are 34,681 “Yes’, votes
and 2,240 “No” votes which docs
not include tV*o cuaun;igj a
v °tes. In Dade County the re-
ults are 20 “Yes” votes and 7
“No” votes with no votes chal-
lenged.
