Hunt Farmers Approve One Issue, Kill Another Hunt County cotton growers overwhelmingly voted for quotas on the 1966 upland cotton crop in Tuesday's referendum. The measure, calling for penalties for over-production in 1966, price-supports, diversion payments and loans, passed by a 473 to 63 count. A two-thirds majority vote was necessary to decide the issue. At the same time, the farmers voted against a measure which provided for the lease or sale of cotton allotments and the approval of such transactions within the county. It was voted down, 434 to 104.
