APRIL 25, 1963. Claude, Texas
Referendum
facts given
County Agent Bo Wheeler com-
mented yesterday that approxima-
tely 448 wheat producers of Arm-
strong county would be eligible
to vote in the May 21 referen-
dum, which will determine the
nation's wheat program for 1964.
The producers of the nation
will choose between two alterna-
tives offered under the Food and
Agricultural Act of 1962; namely,
the regulation of production thr-
ough marketing quotas and acre-
age controls or fewer production
restrictions but with lower price
supports.
If two-thirds of the growers
vote "yes" in the referendum, the
first alternative will be placed in
effect by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. If more than one-third
vote "no", the second alternative
will go into effect, the county
agent said.
Wheeler emphasized that all
Armstrong County wheat growers
should take part in the referen-
dum and urged them to base their
vote on as many facts as can be
gathered on the proposed 1964
wheat program.
The county agent pointed out
that in most peace time years
during the past four decades, Am-
erican wheat growers have pro-
duced more wheat than could be
used domestically or exported for
prices satisfactory to the growers.
Also that per acre yields have
been going up and per person
consumption going down. He said
that about 600 million bushels of
wheat are consumed in the U.S.
each year but that about twice
this amount was being produced.
The carryover reached 1.4 bil-
lion bushels during 1961, he add-
ed, but decreased about a million
bushels last year.
Want program
Memorial Day?
According to County Judge J. E.
Johnson,, there has been numer-
ous request for a program to be
held for Memorial Day observan-
ce. At the present time no pro-
gram has been arranged, how-
ever Judge Johnson has discussed
the idea with a few of the local
veterans and he says they are in
accord with the idea of arrang-
ing a program for the hour of 2
p.m. on a date to be set later.
"We would like to have com-
ments from you who are interest-
ed in there being a program at
the cemetery in observance of
Memorial Day," Judge Johnson
commented, "also the day most
suitable."
Plans are being considered to
stretch a tarp in a suitable place
at the cemetery for shade during
the program.
