High Temperatures To Rertiain In State INDIANAPOLIS UP — Lofty temperatures iwill remain in Indiana the trest of the week, but thunderstorms will bring temporary relief, weatherman said today. They predicted mercury readings arodnd the 90 mark for the fiveiday period—slightly lower than that upstate and slightly higher downstate. Acreage Allotment Os Wheat Explained Quota Referendum , To Be Held Aug. 14 Acreage allotments are the backbone of the recently proclaimed marketing quotas to be voted upon by eligible Adamsu county wheat growers in the August 14 referendum, Winfred L. Gerke, chairman, county PMA committee, said today. If approved by at least two-thirds of the> wheat growers of the nation voting in the J quotas and allotments will become effective on the 1954 w-heat crop. The result of the » referendum also determines the amount and extent of price support the farmer will be eligible to receive. In general, Gerke explains, all Adams county fapns on which wheat was grown in 1951, 1952 or 1953 will be assigned an .acreage allotment. In making these allotments, consideration is/given to the number of acres on the farm, the crop rotation practices followed (including the acreage planed to wheat), type of soil and slope and lay of the land. For the past eight weeks the county committee has been obtaining data| on each farm's past and current whqat production. The allotment for Adams county farmers Is worked out from the basis of j the national allotment. The national acreage allotment for the 1954 crop is 62 million acres. Production from the allotmetn plus .tiarry-over will provide more than enough wheat in 1951, together with the estimated imports, to meet domestic and export, needs plus the 30 percent required hy law. The national acreage allotment is then Apportioned among states and counties according to acreage seeded, ta wheat during the latest 10-year average, 'adjusted for trends and other factors. Chairman Gerke advised thgt any farmer who believes his wheat acreage allotment is not accurate appeal to the county committee. If he is nbt satisfied with the county committeefs decision he may appeal to a review committee of three farmers appointed by the secretary of agricuture which will consider evidence and nialte a decision. If nbt satisfied wttjj, this decision, the farmer may, Within 15 days, initiate proceedings for a review of the ease by a court.
