Show Washington County AAA Ready To Make Dairy Feed Payments The Washington county AAA office of-fice is now ready to make payments pay-ments to dairy producers in the county under the new "dairy feed payment" program announced by the War Food administration to offset rising feed costs, Wilford A. Schmutz, chairman of the Washington county AAA committee commit-tee announced today. Procedure for making the payments pay-ments is extremely simple, but milk producers will need to bring evidence of their sales of whole milk, butterfat, cream or butter so the amount of the payment may be competed. Applications for payment covering- October sales must be filed with the county AAA committee not later than Nov. 30. Payments are made with sight drafts drawn upon the Commodity Credit Corporation and payable at any bank by the producer. The drafts are issued as the payments are computed and are signed by a member of . the county AA committee. I Payments are made at the rate of 35 cents a hundredweight for whole milk, 4 cents a pound for butterfat and a proportionate percentage per-centage of the butterfat rate for butter and cream, Mr. Schmutz said. Direct payments to producers produc-ers to offset increased feed costs have been authorized by the War Food Administration in preference to allowing retail prices for dairy products to increase, so the full benefit of the payment will be realized by the producers. |
