Cotton Growers
To Vote Dec. 11
The referendum on upland cot¬
ton marketing quotas, to be held
throughout cotton-producing areas
on December 11, will be the elev¬
enth vote of its kind, Mr. J. P.
Morgan, chairman of the State
Agricultural Stablization and Con¬
servation Committee, said today.
The first vote on cotton market¬
ing quotas was held in March
1938, and the last previous cotton
referendum was in December 1955.
In the last vote, 93 per cent of the
farmers voting expressed approval
of using the quotas for the 19515
cotton crop. At least two-thirds of
the farmers voting must favor
quotas before they may continue
in effect.
Under legislate* provisions, the
Secretary of Agriculture must pro¬
claim a national marketing quota
and a national acreage allotment
for upland cotton whenever he
finds that the total Bupply exceeds
the normal supply.
At the time the secretary issued
the proclamation for the 1957
crop, the total supply of upland
cotton for the 1956-57 marketing
year was estimated at27.5 million
running kales which included an
August 1, 1956 carryover of 14.1
million bales, 1956 production of
13.4 million bales (the August
Chop Report) and estimated im¬
ports of 50,000 bales. The “nor¬
mal supply” figure of 17.7 million
bales included estimated domestic
consumption of 9.1 million bales
and exports of 4.5 million bales,
plus a 30 per cent “carry-over”
reserve of 4.1 million bales. Thus
the prospective total supply for
1956-57 at the time the quota was
proclaimed exceeded the normal
supply by about 9.6 million bales.
Marketing quotas operate
through acreage allotments. A
grower who exceeds the cotton
acreage allotment for his farm,
under a cotton marketing quota
program, will be subject to a mar¬
keting quota penalty of 50 per cent
of parity on the farm’s excess pro¬
duction. Growers who do not ex¬
ceed their cotton allotments may
market free of penalties all the
1957 cotton production from their
farms. '
Cotton acreage allotments for
1957 will be mailed to farm oper¬
ators prior to the election.

HERE’S SOMETHING for every community
to keep in mind when those new multi-billion
dollar superhighways are in the planning
stage -
Land next to a railroad is often ideally
suited for industrial use. Put industries on it
and you create new job opportunities and new
sources of tax revenue for your community.
Everybody benefits!
Under these conditions, this land is a
valuable community asset. However, through
oversight, this asset can be “killed off”
completely and forever by putting a new
highway too close to the railroad. For most
industry must have easy, economical access

to rail service and this is impossible with a
highway in between.
The time to protect and preserve this
community asset is when the highway is
being planned. And it is easy to do. Wherever
possible; simply leave an adequate strip
of land for industrialization between the
existing railroad and the proposed highway.
This property immediately becomes doubly
attractive to industry - for it then can offer
modem rail service on one side and access to
a modem highway on the other. You and your
community will benefit.
