S. Department of Agriculture. The rate is based on the difference between the incentive price of 72 cents a pound and the national average price of 35.5 cents a pound received by producers. The higher 1970 payment rate compared with the 1969 rate of 65.1 per cent, reflects a drop in market prices for shorn wool in 1970, USDA indicated. Wool prices were generally lower last year throughout the world. According to Scott Horn, chairman of the local county ASCS committee. 226 producers have filed for incentive payments on wool in Kosciusko county.. Each grower’s wool payment is determined by multiplying his net dollar return from the sale of wool by the payment rate of 102.8 per cent. The percentage method Os payment is designed to entourage growers to improve the quality and marketing of their wool. The higher the price a grower gets for his wool the larger the incentive payment. A payment rate ot $146 a hundredweight on unshorn lambs sold or slaughtered in 1970 also was announced by USDA. The 1969 rate was $1.09. This payment is designed to compensate growers for the wool they market on live lambs rather than as shorn. The payment is based on the shown wool payment rate, average weight of wool per hundredweight of lambs, and value of lamb’s wool relative to the national average value of shorn wool. Payments to wool and mohair growers on 1970 marketings will be about $74 million, up s2l million over 1969. Wool payments are estimated at about $66 million in 1970 compared with ssl million last year. Deductions in 1970 of 14 cents a pound for shorn wool and mohair payments and 74 cents a hundred pounds of live weight from lamb payments will be mad 4 to finance advertising, sales promotion, and related marketdevelopment activities. These deductions, provided for in the National Wool Act.* are at the same rate as few the four preceding marketing years. ASCS county offices will make the payments in April.
