November 25, to help make the decision on what the com program will be for 1959 and subsequent years. The choice is between the pres ent program of acreage allotments and price supports on com. and a new program in which there would be no acreage allotments and price supports would be determined on a different basis. A majority vote of the corn pro ducers voting here and in 931 other commercial com counties will de cide the outcome of the referendum Anyone who had an interest in the 1958 corn crop in the commer cial area is eligible to vote. Voting hours in Holt county will be 8 a m. to 8 p.m Voting loca tion are as follows: O'Neill at the courthouse annex. Page at the I OOF hall, and Atkinson at the American Legion hall. The corn referendum is requir ed under the agricultural act of 1958, passed by congress late in the past session. The two pro grams to be voted on are desig nated on the ballot as No. 1 and No. 2. The county ASC office i gives the following explanation of | the two programs: Program No. 1—This is a new program .There would he no acre age allotments and no designation of a commercial com area. Price support under this new program would tit* determined on the ba sis of 90 percent of the average | price farmers got for corn the last 3 years but not less than 65 per cent of parity. It is now estimated that the national support level for 1959 under this program would be about $1.12 to $1.15 per bushel. If the new program is approved, price supports, in proper balance with corn, would have to lie offer ed each year on the other feed grains (oats, rye, barley, and grain sorghums i. Corn compli ance would be eliminated as a price support requirement. Program No. 2—This is essen tially the same program which has been in effect in 1958 and earlier | years Corn acreage allotments would continue in effect for farms in the commercial area. With rec ord corn supplies, allotments would probably drop next year about 15 percent below 1958 and price sup port would probably average from $1.24 to $1.27 a bushel at the bot tom of the required 75 to 90 percent of parity range. Corn acreage allot] ment compliance would t>e required for price support and for- soil hank eligibility. County ASC chairman Ernst urges all eligible farmers and landlords to vote in Tuesday's ref erendum . “This is a great opportunity for corn farmers to help make an im portant decision,'’ Mr Ernst said "The department of agriculture and the congress are entitled to a real turnout that will result in a representative expression of corn farmers’ v iew '' Any farmer who has any ques tion about voting places, eligibil ity, or any other feature of the referendum should get in touch with the ASC office.
