JACKSON, MISS.-Mississippi
farm families were reminded today
by State AAA Administrator T. M.
Patterson Of two important "closing
dates" of the l94l farm program.
March 81 is the closing date for
filing worksheets under the l94l
agricultural conservation parity pay
ment program. This date applies on
ly to farmers who did not file work
sheets under the 1910 or a previous
AAA program.
Final day Mississippi farm fami-
lies may apply for materials for
making mattresses and comforters
under the cotton mattress program
will be May l..
"Since the mattress program be-
Lgan in Mississippi last March, low
income rural families in the state
have received more than 20 million
pounds of cotton and more than
$4,000 yards of mattress ticking
for processing into double-size mat
tresses exclusively for home use,'
Mr.. Patterson said. The comforter
program is an added feature this
year"
Each low-income rural family
which last year had a total income
of not more than $500 is eligible to
receive n mattress and one COM
forter for each two persons in the
family. No family may receive mater
ial for making more than three mat
tresses and ~comforters, however.
