AP Farm Writer Don Kendall notes the 1971 wool market hit its lowest since 1938, prompting the Agriculture Department to raise direct subsidy payments under the National Wool Act. The 1971 payments may total about 110 million dollars, with Mohair payments set at 166.4 percent of sales. Declines in wool output reflect fewer sheep and competition from beef pork fibers and other livestock shifts.
