The mAjority in favor of cottor
quotas was 90 per cent.' A favor-4
able margin of 66.7 per cent of th!
votes cast is required by the farm
act. A year ago, in a similar ref-
erendum, quotas for this years
crop received a majority of 84 per.
cent.
Last year producers of burley
and flue-ured tobacco rejected the
control program. A record crop
and sharply reduced prices fol-
lowed. Then growers voted a few.
weeks ago to return to the restric-

Officials said that more mld-
