Tobacco Market
Quotas Approved;
Vote “No” Here
Lancaster County tobacco pro
ducers emphatically eight to
one rejected marketing quotas
and price supports for, the sixth
year m a row fast week- The
final tally, for controls, 194,
against, 1,476- -
The, vote by Pennsylvania
cigar-filler tobacco marks the
third successive year since 1952-
in which they have voted dis
approval of quotas. Therefore,
as provided by law, there will
not be another referendum on
this kind of tobacco for a 3-year
period, regardless of the supply
situation, unless at least 25 per
cent of the growers petition the
Secretary of Agriculture to\hold
a referendum. In the preliminary
tabulation of 1880 votes, 210 or
11-2 per cent approved quotas
and 88-8 per cent disapproved.”
Dauphin county alone of 'the
seven in Pennsylvania casting
ballots voted in favor' of con
trols three to two. Four eligible
voters abstained.
It is estimated only one-third
of Lancaster 7 County’s eligible
producers voted. Last year 1,478
ballots were cast here, compared
to" 1,476 this year-
THAT SHOULD HOLD HIM
• She (ending a quarrel): “I see
now why a woman is often called
a bird,” He (imartly): “Yes, be
cause they are always on the
lookout for crumbs-” She (quiet

they pick up.”
