Show Little Interest
In Wheat Quota Vote
Apathy of farmers in this district
toward the nation-wide wheat refer
endum was reflected here last Satur
day when only 20 farmers turned
out to vote in balloting at the Rich
land Grange hall.
Tabulation of the unusually light
township vote showed seven farmers
in favor of continuing the govern
ment controlled wheat growing pro
gram, with five opposed to the pro
posal. Eight votes were challenged,
and a check will be made of the
farms this week to determine if the
ballots are to be counted.
Nation-wide balloting, with three
fourths of the votes counted, indi-
favorable vote, which
is short of the 65 per cent majority
needed for approval.
With the referendum conducted on
a national basis, however, the favor
able vote in other states will repre
sent a sufficiently large majority to
assure continuance of the control
program.
In Orange township the vote was
tied at 8-8, with 10 votes challenged.
Union township had eight in favor
of the proposal, 15 opposed, and two
votes were challenged.
To be eligible for voting, farmers
must have raised 15 or more acres
of wheat last year.
