Farmers To Vote
On Cotton Quota
Cotton farmers of the south will
vote on Cotton Marketing Quotas
December 10, it has been announced
by the agricultural department. A
two-thirds vote either way will
make the decision binding on the
minority.
The following questions and an-
swers were furnished the Chero-
keean by the office of County Ag-
ent C. Metz Heald:
When quotas are in effect, what is
the cotton marketing quota for a
farm ?
The cotton marketing quota for a
farm is the amount of cotton which
•may be sold without a penalty.
For a farm planting within its cot>
ton acreage allotment, the quota is
the amount of cotton it produces, plu3
any cotton produced in a previous
year which would not have been sub-
ject to a penalty if it had been mar.
keted in the year in which it was pro-
duced.
For the farm that overplants, the
quota is the amount of cotton produc-
ed on the allotted acres or the nor-
mal production of the allotted acres,
whichever is greater, plus any cot-
ton produced in a previous year
which would not have been subject
to a penalty if it had been marketed
in the year in which it was produced.
What is the purpose of the cotton
marketing quota?
The use of marketing quotas is one
means of keeping cotton supplies
more closely in line with demand.
Quotas also serve a protection to
farmers who plant within their ac-
reage allotments. Without quotas
producers who overplant their allot-
ments may defeat the efforts of
those who try to adjust the supply to
demand,!
When are producers privileged to
use cotton marketing quotas?
When the total supply of American
cotton is more than 7 percent above
normal. The normal supply is consid-
ered to be a normal year's domestic
consumption and exports plus 40 prr
, ' of that amount p.s an allow^ace
for a normal carry-over. For 1338-39
the normal supply amounts to ap-
proximately 18,200,000 bales, while
the present total supply is over 25,-
000,000 bales.
This is more than 37 per cent above
the normal supply.
How do producers indicate that
they wish to use this marketing quo-
ta privilege?
They ,have an opportunity to vote
on whether or not they want mar-
keting quotas. If two-thirds of the
•cotton farmers voting indicate that
they war.t quotas, then quotas will
be in effect for the following crop
year.
Are quotas applicable to all cot-
ton ?
To all cotton except that with a
staple length of V/j inches or more.
When will farmers vote on cotton
s'Huksting quotas for 1939 ?
December 10, 1938.
Who is eligible to vote?
All farmers who produced cotton
•n 1938.

operating will give Library Booster
tickets to the purchaser. These will
be turned in to the school by the stu-
dents, and the Southern Library As-
sociation will redeem for books.

Hairy vetch planted as a winter
cover crop and turned under for soil
improvement has increased his cot-
ton yield by 1-4 bale per acre, O. A.
Roberts, Jacksonville farmer said
last week.
"I planted 7 acres to vetch last fall
and had an excellent growth to turn
under before cotton planting time,"
Mr. Roberts said, "my cotton yield
this year following vetch was 525
pounds of lint cotton par acre, while
last year this same land produced
3-4 of a bale per acre".
Vetch seed were inoculated and
sown broadcast at the rate of 25 to
30 pounds per acre, an application of
super-phosphate at the rate of 150
pounds per acre was also used. The
vetch was covered with a disc and
only a small amount was sown at a
time. This method allowed him to
cover the seed quickly before the sun
| could dry them out and kill the inoc-
ulation.
! As a result of his success with
! vetch last fall, Mr. Roberts has re-
i cently planted 400 pounds of vetch
and 200 pounds of Austrian winter
peas. In addition "he has planted one
acre of early southern giant bur clo-
ver for a cover crop seed plot. He
1 plans to collect seed from this acre
and gradually get it start&d over all
of hi3 cultivated land. By following
this plan he can eliminate the ex-
pense of buying cover crop seed each
year.
E. A. Simpson, owner of Simpson's
Dining Car Orchard on the Palestine
highway planted 200 pounds of vetch
last year in his orchard. He estimates
the value of this crop equivalent to
5 tons of barnyard manure per acre
and as a result he has recently fin-
ished planting his entire 120 acre
orchard to oats and vetch mixed.
Other farmers in this area that
have experienced good results from
vetch are: W. A. Shaw, Burke Shaw,
W. A. Schmidt, D. N. Shaw, Hugh
Duncan and E E Mayfield, Black-
jack; Tol Smith atid W. H. Maurit-
|zen, Jacksonville; Zack Taylor, Sum-
■ merfield; J. A. Fitts and B. T. Burn-
ett, Dialville.
The recent rains give an excellent
opportunity to get cover crops plant-
ed. Good results may still be expect-
ed even though the planting date is
several days late.
(A complete and coordinated pro-
gram of soil and water conservation
includes farming practices which
treat each acre in accordance with
its needs and adaptabilities.) ,

MAKES GOOD SHOWING
| Jq)hn Fruncls Sessions a Second
| year member of the Wells Future
Farmer Chapter has made an out-
' standing record with his propect pro-
gram for this year. He selected for
his program last fall a gilt for pig
1 production and five acres of corn.
He secured seed oT the Texas golden
| prolific variety and grew one hun-
dred fifty bushels on his five acres,
j the corn was she!led< and graded and
he selected fifty bushels that was
certified by the Stale Department of
1 Agriculture for certified seed,
j He purchased a bred duroc Jersey
j gilt from George Riddeli of Dallas.
The gilt farrowed 10 pigs and he
raised nine of them. He fed out the
three barrows and at six months of
age he sold them and they averaged
two hundred and eight pounds. He
developed his gilts and they are
weighing tw ohundred and seventy
pounds at eight months of age, have
showed at three shows and won $73
in premiums. The sow farrowed fif-
teen pig3 in September and he is
feeding the barrows for spring show.
He recently purchased a bred gilt
from the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station and a herd boar from
Dr. C. E. Still of Kirksville, Missouri
which has been judged one of the
best boars ever brought to East Tex-
as. His herd of Durocs, consisting of
two sows, a boar and bred gilt is val-
ued at $450. He is one of the com-
ing yung breeders of Duroc Jersey
hogs in East Texas.
Cherokeean Plant!'
" • V , ' - j- ^ r<? A,
Damaged By Fire
Fire of unknown origin originat-
ing in the northeast corner of the
Cherokeean office about four-thirty
Thursday morning did an undeterp
mined amount of damage to thef
plant. Considerable type had already
been set and was ready for printing
with thte intention of publishing the
usual six page paper. However, withi.
presses and typesetting machine put
out of commission it has been nec-
essary to omit considerable new?
and publish a four page edition. Late
news usually set on Thursday is-
mostly omitted. Some is mentioned
briefly.
The forms were taken to Alto
Thursday afternoon and the printing^
done on the press of the Alto Herald^'
The fire had gained considerable
headway before it was discovered
and the alarm turned in by Mrs;
Minter. Firemen had it under con-
trol within a short time. The 6ditor
slept through it all until someone
came to his home and aroused the
family.
The building was also badly dam
aged.
The loss was covered by insur-
ance. ) .
Pending the time it requires to
make repairs and get the equipment
in shape, the Cherokeean will be
published under a handicap. It will
be sincerely appreciated if subscrib-
ers will have patience for the next,
week or two.

RUSK EAGLES TO PLAY
AT OVERTON TONIGHT
The Rusk Eagles journey to Over-
ton this afternoon to play the only
undefeated team in the conference.
The Overton team has been rated as
th toughest competition in the dis-
trict but. many were of the opinion
they would be upset by Carlisle last
Friday night The upset failed to ma-
terialize, however, when they toojc
the Indians by a narrow margin.
Some who saw the game are of the
opinion that Overton was lucky to
have gotten through the encounter so^
fortunate and others believe Overton
has the best team.
Rusk is given only a fighting
chance against the leaders who were
conference champions last year. Arp,
rated as the third strongest team in
the conference, held them to an ex-
tremely close margin.
It is expected that a considerable
number of Rusk fans will make the
trip this afternoon, taking advan-
tage of the holiday to see the boys
up against real competition and to
lend their moral support from the
sidelines. TThe game is scheduled to
start at two-thirty at Overton.
One more game remains on the
1938 schedule following today's en-
counter. This is with Leveretts Chap-
el one week from today. Leveretts
Chapel is rated in about the same
class with Rusk according to scores
earlier in the season. They were de-
feated by London last Friday but
have more credible showings in oth-
er encounters. The Eagles have won
five games and lost two to date.
