Wool Program Set To Begin April First For 1955
Merrell L. Robuck, chairman of the county ASC, states wool payments under the 1954 National Wool Act start April 1 for the 1955 clip sold on or after that date. Wool sold before April does not qualify. Local administration falls to county ASC offices as incentives aim to boost U S wool production with a 62 cent per pound grease basis price for shorn wool, with payments issued to wool growers when the national average is set.

Wool incentive plan outlines record saving and payout terms
Market price for wool falls below the incentive level and growers must save all sale slips and evidences showing producer buyer sale date and amount. Records support claims and determine national sales price for incentive payments. Payments depend on a percentage of average price, but cannot be made until 1956 harvest is marketed and instructed.
