Wheat Acreage
Referendum to
Go to Voters
Producers who have an interest
in a 1964 farm wheat acreage al- 1
lotment will be eligible to vote in |
the 1964 wheat referendum this
spring, George 9kopec, Chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Committee,
has announced.
If the allotment is less than 15
acres, however, the farm opera
tor will be asked to decide, at
least seven days prior to the re
ferendum whether he wants to
participate as an allotment grow
er in 1964. If he elects to partici
pate, this will qualify the opera
tor and the other wheat produc
ers on the farm to vote in the
. r__i._rrU_ •••111
i CU.1CUUUUI, A
made by signing on the back of
the regular allotment notice for
the farm and filing it with the
ASCS County Office.
According to the Chairman, the
general rule is that each person
may cast only one ballot in the
referendum, regardless of the
number of wheat farms in which
he is interested. Exceptions to
this rule are: (1) Individual
members of a partnership each
have a vote, but the partnership
as such has no vote; (2) a per
son may also vote as the repre
sentative of an organization, such
as a corporation (which is entitl
ed to only one vote); and (3) a
person may vote as the admin
istrator or executor of an es
tate, or as a trustee or guardian,
but the persons whom he repre
sents are not eligible to vote.
Producers who have an inter
est in an allotment include land
owners who receive all or a share
of the wheat crop or proceeds
thereof, and tenants or share
croppers having an interest in the
farm acreage allotment because
of sharing in the wheat crop or
proceeds thereof. Special provi
sions apply to cases of joint ow
nership or operation.
Wheat growers who have some
question about their eligibility to
vote in the upcoming referendum
on the 1964 wheat program are
encouraged to discuss the matter
with the ASC County Committee.
The referendum will be held
sometime in May or June, the ex
act date to be announced later.
The referendum will offer
wheat growers a choice between
(1) limited production of wheat,
a relatively high price support,
and payments for wheat acreage
diverted to a conservation use; or
(2) no limits on production or
marketings and a relatively low
price support only to growers who
stay within their allotments.

Whole Milk Sales
Show Big Gain
In O'Neill Area
Whole milk sales are bringing
added dollars to the O’Neill ar
ea, according to a statement by
Lee Jackson, manager of Hal
ing creamery in O’Neill.
Following is Jacksons state
ment.
Here are some facts about
your local industry which will be
of interest to you.
Last month we paid out over
$20,000 00 to operate the plant in
O’Neill. This money was paid out
for the following payroll, hauling
milk, taxes, insurance, telephone,
gas for boilers, power, gasoline,
tires, contributions, printing, ad
vertising, laundry, repairs, licen
se, package supplies, water,
transportation anil of by-products
In addition to this, we paid
out aiiproxlmately $50,000.00 to
the people In tills area, who
sell us milk, or a total of $70,
000.00 each month.
"We can handle approximately
three times this much milk,
which means we are in the posi
tion to pay over 200,000.00 each
month in the O’Neill area.”
nf ikio rnmmu is hpintf
spent in this area. Therefore if
we encourage the farmers ami
ranchers to milk more cows and
sell to their home market this
will help our community gr<™
and prosper.
