ERIE The last day for filing applications for payments for the 1962 marketing year under the wool payment program is April 30. Glenn Neely, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation county committee, reminded growers today. The payments, to be made this summer, will cover shorn wools and unshorn lambs marketed during the 12 month period of April 1, 1962 through March 31 of this year. Later marketings will be ineligible for payments for the 1963 marketing year, which began April 1, 1963. Neely said the payments on wool and lambs will not be made unless the grower files an application which is supported with valid sales records. These sales records will be the basis for calculating the national average price received by farmers for wool during the entire 1962 marketing year. So it is to the grower's advantage to file his application early. When the average price can be determined, the payment rates for shorn wool and unshorn lambs sold during the 1962 marketing year will be announced Neely also reminded growers that the 1963 marketing year will cover only a nine month period extending from April 1 of this year through Dec. 31, 1963. After 1963, the marketing year will be on a 12 month calendar year basis in line with recommendation by producers. Payments for 1963 and later marketing years, therefore, will be made beginning in April following the close of the calendar year, rather than beginning in July, as for 1962 and previous years. Because of this future changes over, there may be some confusion about just when applications for payment should be filed. Ap-
