When the final settlement PROGRAM ON COTTON in 1950? The answer to that . question will come when cotton growers vcie ' in the December 15 referendum. To vote Yes means to favor 90 per cent of parity support prices (which promise to be around 30c per pound loan value.) To vote no means to favor no sup port price on cotton. Only those who plant no more than the acreage allotted to their individual farms will be entitled to 50 per cent of parity support price (around 15c per pound loan value if the vote is not favorable for quotas in the December 15 referendum.) All the evidence strongly supports the position taken that this organ ization should conduct an all out educational and publicity campaign to encourage all those who were in- ' terested in the production of cot-1 ton in this state in 1948 to vote in the December referendum and to vote yes for quotas on cotton for 1950. If the referendum fails because less than two-thirds of those voting fail to vote yes for quotas, it means that the cotton economy of the south is wrecked. If the referendum is carried by favorable vote by more than two-thirds of thos voting, it means that at least for 1950 we shall nave a fair price for cotton while we are attempting to get into op eration an adjustment program.
