Complaint has been made of this growing evil practice, under the gui.se of economy but in reality in the objective of taking away what few powers the local atithorities may have; and now a long un- comphfining business scattered in every county of the state is m'£king an effort to check some of this trend in the way of public printing, which is being absorbed in the state printng office and furnished the counties and other local districts.

Growers May Get Chance to Decide BY BPEClAL COIRESPONDENT AHIN¢TON.--AAA e o n- duets its own popularity poll whenever it submits marketing quotas for a vote. This year the cotton growers ' voted to have them. The tobacco and rice growers voted, against having them. A referendum on quotas for wheat will ba held this year for the first time, If estimates indi- cate there will be another surplus crop by the first of, July. It is estimated that we need 720,000.000 bushels of wheat wtfen this Year's crop Is har- Vtsted to satisfy our needs for exert and for domestic' con- sumption, if it is reported that the 1939 crop wtll not exceed this estimate by more than 35 per ceBt, marketing quotas will not be submitted. Some variance Is expected in domestic consumption which may range fxm 650,000,000 bushels to 700.000.000 bushels a year. Ex- ports vary from 50,000,000 buslleJs to 100,000,000 bushels a year. ALL wheat growers subject to r --.i. fi0tas, Would be allowed to Tote'in s referendum and if ap- r0ved by a two-thirds majority, he iotaa would apply to any- me wh0 redueed more than 100 ouheL of wheat. Excess pro- duncan would be taxed at 15 €a per bushel 'It+'i, altogetbe¢ likely wheat farmers Will aeeept the quotas,  -By ca operatlhg wlth sell con- servatlon, they can get Ioan on their wheat as it Is. 'The loans ,ha 8eraged fro 52 per cent to 75 fie} cen't of' artty price, or about 59 to 60 cents 'a bushel. Farmers have seven months to Pay Off the loan with  per cent in,,rest, after which they can claim their wheat collateral, If quotas are not voted with a surplus crop in sight, the govern- ment will no( make any wheat loans in 1939 regardless of whether the individual farmer Is or is not co-operating with the rest of the AAA program. If quotas are voted, the In- dividual farmer who may not wish to keep within his market- ing limit can.still get loans on hL wheat if he, has more than be can sell or use. Those who do wield wheat from market in c0mpllanee with quotas will e able tO get a more generous loan than those who do not. But loans will be available to all, With the price of wheat hovering around 60 cents and often dropptng be- low the loan rate, the advantage of continued loans will be a great inducement. AA oll]eiaJs are pleased to think the loan program has served as a graphic illustration to farmers o the sins of overpro- duction. They say that when a farmer finds himself with 1000 bushels of wheat on hand at hat* vest time. and can dispose of only 500 bushels of it, he begins to rea/ize the error of his ways. lut if.h seals the 500 bushels.excess, ge a loan from the government On.ts wheat, and faces the ne- cess'i of sacrificing his wheat or paying off the loan at 4 per eent.'by May 31st of .the nexi Yei:he is even more impressed.
