County and certain designated coun­

referendum, on a marketing agree­
ment and order regulating the hand­
ling of Irish potatoes in those coun­
ties, next week accordimi to the Sur­
plus Marketing Administration. The
voting place in Malheur County will
be in the county agent's office in
the City Hall In Ontario and grow­
ers may vote on any day between
June 16 and June 21 betw°en S T ,
a m. and 5:00 p. m.
On Thursday evening, June 19. a
meeting will be h Id in the M >v
Hotel In Ontario where growers w'l
have an opportunity to hear the
marketing agreement thrcuyih dis­
cussed and they will have an oppor­
tunity to cast their ballot on the
evening of this meeting if they so
desire Each producer of potatoes in
1940 for the 1940 crop is eligible to
vote. A producer means any person
who produces potatoes for market
and this may be an individual, part­
nership or corporation.
Copies of the proposed marketing
agreement and order has been mail­
ed to all 1940 potato producers whose
names were available. Additional
copfes of the agreement may be ob­
tained in the county agent’s office
in Ontario at any time.
Hearings for the marketing agree­
ment were held last winter but it
was not refered to the growers at
that time as was expected. Under the
Marketing Agreement Act an admin­
istrative committee of producers and
handlers Is set up in the area cov­
ered by the agreement. This admin­
istrative committee may. at any
time, that they deem it desirable,
recommend to the Secretary of A g ­
riculture that shipment of potatoes
from the- area by grade, size or qual­
ities shall be regulated. In other
words the admin .Arative committee,
on the approval of the Secretary of
Agriculture may prevent the ship­
ment of potatoes not meeting cer­
tain grade, size and quality speci­
fications.
Marketing
agreements
have been in effect on certain crops
for years and have operated sucess-
fully. Unless the agreement is sub­
stantiated by the producers and
handlers o f the referendum of next
week it cannot go into effect.
