Deductions of 1 cent per pound from shorn wool payments, and 5 cents per 100 pounds of live weight from lamb payments will be made" for the advertising, promotion, and related market deve'lopement activities act-ivities on wool and lanVb. This self-help self-help promotion program (under Section 708 of the National Wool Act of 1954) is carried on by the American Sheep Producers Council, Inc., which was established for that purpose. The deductions from the payments to finance the program pro-gram were approved by producers in a referendum in 1958. The shorn wool payments rate was determined on the basis of the difference between the average price received by producers for shorn wool during the 1957 marketing mar-keting year, and the 67-cent per pound incentive level announced for the 1957 marketing year in October, Oct-ober, 1956. The average price producers pro-ducers received for shorn wool during dur-ing the 1957 marketing year was 53.7 cents per pound as determined by the Agricultural Marketing Service Ser-vice on the basis of prfees reported re-ported !by producers in their application ap-plication for payments. The wool incentive rate of 15.5 percent is the amount needed to bring the average return for wool up to the incentive level of 62 cents. To determine the wool incentive payment pay-ment for individual producers the rate of 15.5 percenet is applied to the dollar return each producer received re-ceived for wool after paying market mar-ket charges. This method of payment is designed de-signed to encourage producers to do a good job of marketing their wool. While market prices differ greatly for the wide range of grades and classes of wool produced, pro-duced, each individual grower should market to get the best possible price for his quality wool. Producers who sold their wool below the year's national average price will get less than the 62-cent incentive level. For example, a grower who sold his wool for 40 cents per pound, will receive a pay-continued pay-continued on back page) 1 (PPi |
