Wool and lamb promotion program under National Wool Act
Mystery Farm No. 12 sets a one cent per pound deduction on shorn wool and five cents per hundredweight on unshorn lambs to fund wool and lamb promotion. The program aims to raise U S wool output to 300 million pounds with incentive payments lifting the average grower price to 62 cents per pound. Payments are issued for applications received by May 1, 1960, with the 1960 marketing year running to March 31, 1961 and payments for that period due next summer.
