Burman of the Albany County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee has called the attention of wheat growers to the referendum on wheat marketing quotas, to be held today at the ASC county office, 337 Delaware Ave., Delmar. All growers who in 1957 will har- vest more than 15 acres of wheat for grain on a farm are eligible to cast ballots in the quota referendum. Quotas do not affect farmers with smaller wheat acreages. The issues to be decided by the vote are as follows: If at least two-thirds of the farm- ers voting approve the quotas, then quotas will continue in effect for the 1957 wheat crop, and a grower who exceeds the larger of his allotment or 15 acres of wheat will be subject to a marketing quota penalty on his \ex- cess\ production. Under quotas, the available wheat price support to farmers who have complied with their farm wheat allotmenfs will be at a level between 75 and 90 per cent of partiy. If more than one-third of the farmers voting disapprove the quotas, then no quotas and no penalties for excess production will be in effect, but the available support on the 1957 wheat crop will drop to 70 per cent of narity, as\ provided by law. The vote will not affect acreage allotments, which will continue in effect no matter how the vote goes. Legislation provides that wheat allot- ments shall be in effect each year except in time of emergency. •Marketing quotas, on the other hand, are directed to be proclaimed only in years when the supply ex- ceeds normal by 20 per cent or more. The supply of wheat available for 1956-57 is actually 71.4 per cent above the normal supply.

S. senate has ended Wen- dell C. Wilber's three-year four- month wait for the postmastership at Delanson, the acting postmaster was informed by a joint wire from •Senator Irving M. Ives (R,NY) and Representative Bernard W. (Pat) Kearney, Gloversville Republican. Wilber was appointed acting post- master March 16, 1953, replacing Democrat Victor Noonan, but until last week had been unable to secure the postmastership, which carries civil service immunity, because of the party-line opposition of Senator Her- bert H. Lehman, (D,NY). As a result of senate action, Wil- ber returns to the post he held from 1925 until 1933 under Presidents Coolidge and Hoover. The Delanson postoffice has a third class listing. A Republican stalwart, he has been a state assemblyman, Republican county chairman, party treasurer, county clerk and tax clerk in the Schenectady county treasurer's office. He resigned as county chairman in 1939 to run for county clerk and was , replaced by James E. Cushing. cur-, rent party leader. ' The Delanson postmaster was elect- ed to the state assembly in 1944 to fill an unexpired term. A collector of antiques, he is president of the \ Duanesburgh Historical society. One leading expert has predicted that steel mills and electric utilities will use 272 million tons of coal in 1956, compared with only 205 million tons as recently as 1954.

He added: 'Now, with this new increase in the federal tax, highway users of this state will be paying an estimated $227 million a year — about eight times as much — in state and fed- eral taxes on gasoline.\ He said the 1-cent federal increase, expected to yield more than half a billion dollars a year nationally, will bring to about $97 million the amount of federal gas tax collected annually in New York. \Motorists have a great stake in highways,\ Astrup said, \but cer- tainly they are paying for them.\ He noted that the present tax hike is the ninth general increase in gas ICE CREAM SALE AUG. 25 Homemade ice cream will be on sale in St. Mark's Lutheran parish hall, Guilderland Center, Saturday, Aug. 25, starting at 6 p. m.
