Airport manager, Wendy Carter, had previously submitted a financial statement which showed the airport making a profit. Councilman Wiseman pointed out, once again, that because the city had received a federal grant to make Improvements at the airport, if it were closed, the city would have to pay back the monies.

To avoid late payments, the applications should be filed by the end of January. Sales receipts from shorn wool, unshorn lambs or mohair marketings must be presented to the county ASCS office before farmers can re- ceive Incentive payments. "The payments will be made only for bonaflde sales documented on invoices prepared by the purchaser," Anderson said. The quantity sold does not affect the eligibility he said. However, sales receipts should contain the month of shearing, month of sale, number of head shorn, pounds of wool (grease basis) or mohair sold, and net proceeds. Sales slips for unshorn lambs must show the llvewelght and state that the lambs were unshorn. Wool and mohair payments are based on a percentage of each producer's returns from sales. The percentage Is the amount required to raise the national average price received by all producers for shorn wool and mohair in 1985 up to the support prices of $1.73 per pound for wool and $4.65 per pound for mohair. Anderson said pulled wool will continue to be supported at a level comparable to the support price for shorn wool through payments on unshorn lambs. The ASCS wool program is designed to Improve the quality of fibers and to encourage sheep growers to do their best job of marketing. 387-275- 387-280- 5, Grand (id res sis Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan.
