OUTZ County Agent I have said all along that its’ left up to the communities. This was brought out at a meeting held recently concerning trash disposal. The Laurens delegation feels that if disposal area can be es tablished, then the citizens of that community can use the area by disposing of their own trash. Also, it is felt the county would more or less service the area pro viding it is accessible to roads and is property leased to the county and etc. Furman Thoma son, our County Supervisor, says that he has limited funds and will be able to do a limited amount of service under the present set up. However, he says he realizes the problem is urgent. I’m sure everyone will agree that this is a very vital step in community improvement. How ever, as I see it, there isn’t going to be one thing done until community leaders “take the bull by the horns’ and do something. By that I mean locate an area, not a gully, the state health board says gullies will cause pollu tion of the streams below. That is, people throw poison contain ers, dead animals and etc. that go to the streams below. I believe the pulpwood compan ies will cooperate with us and help locate these areas. I un derstand some have done this in other counties. Folks, the rat bait is moving. If you haven’t gotten yours then get it becuase it is really mov ing. That is in some communi ties. And some haven’thought any to amount to anything. We only have a very few hundred pounds left and by the time you read this there may not be any left. So check with us. We purchased two tons and that is all we will handle, when that is gone it will cost you more than four times what this cost. We are in competition with merchants and that isn’t good. However, I want to say thanks to all those who handle the material because they have been mighty kind to help us. Some merchants have sold as much as three hundred pounds. I hope to be able to pub lish the names of the merchants and the amounts sold when we finish. Our sincere thanks goes to everyone handling the material. Blackbird Roosts - The U. S.

Pick up your five pound bag for one dol lar at the County Agents’ Office or your local feed or grocery store. Cotton Marketing Quota Revised And Increased BY MARY W. MONROE County Office Manager ASCS On October 15 the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture an nounced a revised national mar keting quota of 16, 008,333 bales (standard bales of 500 pounds, gross weight) and a revised nat ional acreage allotment of 17 mil lion acres for the 1970 crop of up land cotton. This represents an increase of 941,666 bales in the quota and an increase of one million acres in the allotment from that announced on October 1. The increase was brought a- bout by the declining 1969 crop prospects caused primarily by abnormal weather condition, cot ton boll rot and insect damage throughout much of the cotton belt. The September 8 crop re port, on which the original de terminations were made, indi cated a 1969 crop of 10,984,000 bales. The October 15 report in dicated production of 10,428,000 bales. The increase in the quo ta and allotment was necessary in order to assure the main tenance of adequate stocks in the United States to provide a con tinuous and stable supply of the different qualities of cotton need ed in the U. S. and in foreign cotton-consuming countries. For the 1970 crop, the farm 'omestic acreage allotment has been set at 65 percent of the farm acreage allotment, the minimum authorized by law. Farmers who sign up to participate in the pro gram and who plant at least 90 percent of their farm’s domes tic acreage allotment, but not in excess of the permitted acreage for the farm, will be eligible for price-support loans and, for price-support payments on the farm domestic allotment. The National average price support loan rate for middling 1-inch cotton at average location has been set at 20.25 cents per pound for the 1970 crop. Price- support loans available to pro gram cooperators for different individual qualities will be based on the middling 1-inch rate. This is the same rate as that appli cable to the 1969 crop. The price-support payment rate to program cooperators (those farms planting within the domestic allotment) has been es tablished at 16.80 cents per pound (compared to the 1969 rate of 14.73 cents per pound). This payment is in addition to the price-support loan. It is the amount necessary in addition to the loan to pro vide producers at least 65 per cent of parity on cotton pro duced within the acreage permitt ed under the program. Since the carry-over of upland cotton is expected to fall to the lowest level since 1953, payments will not be made in 1970 for di verting acreage from cotton. This provision is the same as was in effect for the 1969-crop. Small farms, that is, farms with allotments of 10 acres or less or with projected produc tion from the allotment of 3,600 pounds or less, may plant the entire farm allotment and, in ad dition to the price-support pay ment on the domestic allotment, receive payment of 11.95 cents per pound on the projected yield of 35 percent of the farm allot ment. The projected yield for South Carolina for 1970 has been set at 467 pounds. Since the State re duction in projected yield a- mounts to about 13 percent, it is reasonable to assume that Lau rens County’s projected yield for 1970 will be reduced approxi mately the same percentage. Therefore, Laurens County farmers should expect to receive reductions in their cotton pro jected yields for 1970. However, at present we do not know the exact reduction in Laurens Coun ty projected 1970 cotton yield. This article is presented to give Laurens County farmers ba sic information on next year’s program prior to a mail refer endum, December 1-5, on 1970- crop cotton marketing quotas. In the referendum, at least two- thirds of the upland cotton grow ers voting must approve market ing quotas before the essential features of the program can go into effect. If more than one- third of the growers vote “NO*, the only cotton program will be price support at 50 percent of parity for growers who do not exceed their acreage allotment. Prior to the referendum, pro ducers will receive their farm acreage allotments for 1970 and full details on the proposed cot ton program.
