San Saba Voters Back Cotton Quotas and Promotion
San Saba County growers approved 1867 cotton marketing quotas and a cotton research and promotion referendum in a Dec 6 to 9 vote. National results favored quotas by about 90 percent and 69.2 percent for promotion. Signups in 1967 will require diversions from cotton to conservation uses with price support and diversion payments tied to yields and acreages. A $1 per bale assessment funds cotton research and promotion programs.
