Hempstead County cotton farmers will learn their allotments well before the December 7 referendum on marketing quotas. County agent Oliver L. Adams says acreage allotments are being set using the 1940 performance report and are fixed as a county wide percentage, with minimum and maximum bounds. The referendum requires two thirds of producers voting in favor for quotas to take effect in 1941, with eligibility open to all who shared in a cotton crop last year. The conservation program remains in effect regardless of the vote.
