At least two-thirds of those voting must approve the quotas if they are to continue in effect. Acreage allot ments, howeevr, will be im effect for 1958 cotton no matter h6w the vote goes. If"quotas are not approved there will be no penalty on cotton grown in case a farmer does not wish to stay within--his cotton -acreage- -al-- lotment, and of course, will not receive any government support price. Those farmers planting with in the allotted cotton acreage will receive only 50 per cent of parity support in case marketing quotas are not approevd If quotas are ap proved. then the support price on cotton for those farmers not over planting allotted acreage Will be be tween 75 and 90 per cent of parity— this is left up to the Secretary of Agriculture as to the actual figure l»etween the two figures stated above. All farmers who produced cotton in 1957 are eligible to vote Tues day, December 10, whether opera tor, tenant Or cropper. If the waiter recalls the correct figures on the marketing quota ref- erendum^one year a'go this month, there were approximately 2,000 tngible Laurens county farmers who could have voted in the cotton referendum program. Only 170 votes were cast in favor of the quo tas and.29 voted against the market ing quotas, or a total of 199 farmers voted of the approximate 2,000 el igible voters. This was less than 10 per cent of the farmers voting. In South Carolina there were in !956 approximately 92,000 farmers eligible to vote in the cotton mar keting referendum., with 18,084 votes votes cast in favor‘of quotas, or .only 21.1 per Cent of the cotton pro ducers of the state voting. Of course, wide publicity through out the state stated 85.4 per cent of Laurens county farmers apd 93.1, per cent of the cotton growers of South Carolina voted in favor of marketing quotas—yet less than 10 per cent of the farmers of Laurens county voted at all, and only 211 lier cent of the eligible farmers of the state voted. In the wheat referendum vote this past summer 1 ; in Laurens coun ty 113 farmers'were eligible to vote, of which only 40 voted, or 35.4 per cent. Of the 40 who voted. 37 voted in favor of quotas and three against. With such voting results, does this show farmers are satisfied with the present farm program? Does it show lack of interest, in that the farmer can only vote yes or no on the present program with no oppor tunity to vote on any alternative farm program? Or does it show that the farmer desn’t care because the program wil be run according to government officials anyway? Farmers should express their ap proval or disapproval by voting on their farm programs. , Good Livestock Care Is Needed In Winter Winter calls for good care of live stock, says County Agent C. B.

South Carolina Agriculutral Experi- ihent Station. The say, however, that rice must be properly cooked to retAin the natural nutrients. For propjer cook-’ ing they advocate no vvasfltng of the! rice before cooking nor rinsing after cooking and using only the amount of water the rice will absorb. This method eliminates the need for draniing after cooking and assures a fluffy, free grained product. The nutritionists explain some of the more important nutrients in i rice-dissolve in water and are lost! by washing, and draining. Eliminat ing these steps in cooking rice not only saves the homemaker’s time but also retains the food value. Washing rice before cooking is merely a “carryover” habit from Tommy Cooper In Comedy At Furman Thomas Cooper, Furman Univer sity sophomore from Clinton, will take part in the comedy, “Clar ence,” which is to be presented by the Furman Theatre Guild Decem ber 5 and 6 .
