COTTON QUOTA
REFERENDUM
DATES SET
The upcoming referendums on
marketing quotas for the 1967
crops of upland and extra long
stapte cotton will be conducted
by mail during the period Dec.
5 through 9, W. T. Rogers,
Chairman, Agricultural Stabili-
zation and Conservation Cherokee
County Committee has an-
nounced. This is the first time
that growers have voted on
marketing quotas by mail. It is
hoped that this more convenient
method witl encourage a larger
vote.
Growers eligible to cast bal-
tots in the referendums are all
those who engaged in the pro-
duction of the 1966 crop of upland
cotton. Baltots witl be sent to alt
growers who are on record in
the ASCS County Office.
The quotas will become effec-
tive and the broad upland cotton
diversion program will be avait-
abte next year if at least two-
thirds of the growers voting ap-
prove the quotas. This upland
program would provide price-
support and diversion payments
as welt as loans.
If more than a third of the
growers who vote disapprove
quotas, price support at 50 per
cent of parity will be avaitabte to
growers who keep their 1967
crop of uptand cotton acreage
within their farm allotments.
Careless Forest Fire
Law Violators To Be
Prosecuted
Henderson.—Dr. A. D. Folweil-
er, director, Texas Forest Serv-
ice. has announced that atl vio-
tators of the forest fire law on
careless burning wilt be prose-
cuted.
In making this announcement
Folweiler said "It has been the
policy of this agency to show
leniency to careless burners on
first offense. The policy had been
adopted on the premise that
many of the violators were ig-
norant of the taw that has exist-
ed for many years. There has
been a strong effort to bring the
law to the attention of the pub-
lic, especially those who reside in
rural areas. In spite of this, the
percentage of fires due to care-
lessness has not diminished. It
is obvious, he said, that our
policy of leniency and our gen-
eral educational program in
urging people to burn debris
onty in safe periods has gone
unheeded."
"For the past four calendar
years an average of 690 fir&3
from careless burning has oc-
curred annuatty; they are 28
per cent of the total number of
fires occurring in the pine-
hardwood region of East Texas,"
Foilweiter said.
He further pointed out that in
addition to the damaging effect
to forests so vital to the economy
of tt^e pine-hardwood region,t
improvements such as homes,
barns, livestock, improved pas-
tures and fences were also af-
fected. Sometimes human life
has been involved. With so much
attention being given to outdoor
recreation and aesthetics, there
should be considerable support
from urbanties in the law en-
forcement of the law. Certainly
a burned forest is not an object
of usefulness nor attractiveness.
We are of the opinion that law
enforcement may accomplish
what education was unable to
do. The taw under which of-
fenders will be prosecuted as-
sesses a fine of not less than fif-
teen ($15.00) dollars nor more
than two hundred ($200.00) dol-
lars upon conviction.

5,722 Over Last Year
Waco.—Final 1966 member-
ship tabuiation showed the Texas
Farm Bureau increased its
membership by 5,722 over last
year, according to Wayne Little,
organization director. October
31 is the end of the TFB's mem-
bership year.
Total 1966 membership in the
TFBislOO,926—first time ever
for the 33-year-old farm organ-
ization to pass the 100,000 mark
in members. The Texas Farm
Bureau, now fifteen times larger
than the next biggest farm or-
ganization in the state, has
shown an increase in members
each year for the past 14 years.
"Considering the continuing
decline in number of farmers
andranchers, ourgainthisyear
is evidence that most farmers
and ranchers in Texas endorse
the Farm Bureau's activities in
tegistation, marketing and per-
sonat economic services," Littte
said.
There are 203 organized coun-
ties in the Texas Farm Bureau.
The organization is supported by
votuntary dues-paying members.
Dues vary by county, but aver-
age about $10-$12 per year.
The 100,000th member signed
up in the TFB this year was a
47-^ear-old dairyman, Oswald
Norman of Wilts Point, Texas.
He was enrotted the last week in
October by T. L. Roberts, presi-
dent of the Van Zandt County
Farm Bureau.

"Absence of a Cello"
To Be Presented At
Lufkin Playhouse
Lufkin.—"Absence of a Cello,"
comedy by Ira Wallach that had
a warmly - applauded engage-
ment in New York in 1964-65,
will be presented by the Lufkin
Community Playhouse for three
performances on Nov. 17, 18
and 19 at 8 p. m.
The title of the comedy hit re-
fers to one of several conditions
that a family of scholarly high-
brows believe they must meet
so that the head of the family
can get a badly needed job with
a corporation that likes its execu-
tives to be conformists.
The problem for the head of
the family, a scientist named
Andrew Pilgrim, is that he has
a cetlo and likes to play it as
hobby. He must get the instru-
ment out of sight before a per-
sonnel man from the company
comes for a check on his home
life.
Ed Cook and Jo Perkins will
be seen as Me Pilgrims, and
other Playhouse performers in
the cast are Benita Wiison, Veta
Rowin, John Ross, Teresa Jack-
son and Jerry Beasley.
Mrs. Dan Brazit is directing
the farcical spoof on the con-
formity required today of an
organization man, and Howard
Daniel and Dr. Gaii Medford
are designing the setting from
which the teii-taie cello must be
hastily whisked.
Tickets are now on sate at the
Metody Shop in downtown Luf-
kin for ait performances and
may be purchased in advance by
writing Lufkin Community Ptay-
house, Box 1511, Lufkin. All
seats are priced at $1.50 each
and may be purchased at the
door also.
By W. R. Long
.TIMS PARKS tWULIfEOHT.!!
Taking a quick took at what
the hunter may cxpect to find in
the fietd this year, the 1966-67
season should be one of the best
in history. Dove season began
with rain in East Texas, levelled
off to fair shooting at the end of
the season.
DEER: About two and a third
mittion of them in the state, with
an expected kiti above 200,000
animals. Deer hunting witl be
just a little difficutt in some
piaces because of persistent fo-
iiage that will allow the animals
to elude the man with the gun.
QUAIL: Most biotogists say
they've never seen a year tike it.
Twelve counties in south Texas
will open season early, Novem-
ber 1, others witt open with deer
season.Check your Kama law
digest. The season shoutd be
more than good everywhere.
GEESE: Along the coast the
huge waves of snows and blues
are now the subject of much in-
terest. with the expected aver-
age crop of big birds again this
year. Inland grain fietds near
water are offering good to fair
shooting.
DUCKS: Some ftyways have a
maybe-shortage, but ours, the
Central, is aiready getting the
earty rush of migrants. Pintaiis,
Cans, big Maitards, redheads, al-
ready have been seen mixed
with the teat, the gadwatts and
shovellers. Season opens Novem-
ber 19.
Don't overtook coot along
with ducks. They are delicious
when properly prepared and fun
to hunt. Don't pass up a chance
at either cottontails or swamp
rabbits this year, take advan-
tage of long seasons on squirrel,
and remember the javetina in
the so'^west
Yep, it'll be a good season—
but above alt—BE CAREFUL!
