June 17,1935 Wheal Price Prop Announced; Quota Vote Set June 25 A minimum price support of not less than $1.81 a bushel for the 1956 wheat crop has been announced by the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture, according to Albert Straus, chairman of the Jackson county Agricultural Sta bilization and Conservation com mittee. The announced minimum sup port rate will be in effect in com mercial wheat states if wheat growers approve marketing quotas in a referendum set for June 25. In Jackson county, vot ing will take place in the county ASC office on the first floor of the courthouse. Polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Variable Level The announced minimum sup port for 1956 reflects 76 per cent of the estimated "transitional" wheat parity price of $2.38 per bushel. The support level is set in accordance with a law which provides for a variable level on the basis of the estimated sup ply of wheat. If two-thirds or more of the growers voting in the marketing quota referendum on June 25 ap prove, marketing quotas will re main in effect for the 1956 crop and supports will average not less than 1.81 to growers who do not exceed their farm wheat al lotments. Alternative to Vet If more than one-third of the growers disapprove, marketing quotas will not be in effect and price supports will be available at 50 per cent of the transitional parity price, or about $1.19 a bushel. Those who exceed their farm wheat acreage allotments will not be eligible for wheat price supports. Straus noted that those who plan to request 1956 wheat allot ments, and who have not had al lotments previously, should make their requests at the ASC office before June 30.
