Alfred Staler, pas- pinton “ the ballots may be returned to the county ASCS office in person -- during the period December 2 through 6. The law requires a fa vorable vote by at least two- thirds of the growers voting in or der to keep marketing quotas in effect. Generally, those eligible to vote are all producers who shared in the 1968 cotton crop or its proceeds. Questions about eligi bility to vote should be referred to the county ASCS office. If the vote is favorable, Mr. Fleming explained, quotas will apply to the 1969 upland cotton crop, with penalties on any ex cess cotton produced; loans and price-support payments will be available to growers who plant within their allotment. The loans will be based on a national aver age rate of 20.25 cents a pound for Middling 1-inch cotton at average location and price- support payments will be 14.73 cents a pound on the farm’s pro jected yield for the acreage plant ed Wlthte the flfp’a domestic allotment Ho acreage diversion will be neeesaarjr and no div ersion payments will be offered for the 1969 crop. Special pro visions apply to "small farms.” Growers who elect not to parti cipate in the price support pro gram will be able to apply for a share of an export market acreage reserve and to grow and export all their cotton without Government assistance and with out marketing quota penalities. If the vote is unfavorable, he added, there will be no quotas or penalties for the 1969 upland cotton crop, no price-support payments, no export market acreage reserve, and price-sup port loans to growers who do not exceed their farm acreage allot ment will be available at 50 per cent of parity. Applications for the transfer of 1969 cotton allotments may be filed on or before December 31, 1968, regardless of the outcome of the marketing quota referen dum. Laurens County received an allotment of 14,370 acres for distribution to growers in pro ducing their 1969 upland cotton crop. This represented the coun ty's share of the national allot ment of 16.2 million acres, in cluding a national reserve of 200,000 acres to take care of minimum farm allotments.
