Farm Bureau To
Support Program
For Wool Grower

The Ohio Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton today announced its support
Of new government program for
-@@osl which the organization says
will benefit not only the wool pro-
ducers but the American taXpay-
erS as we'll.
According to d. r. ,Stanfield
asst exec. secretary of the farm
organization, the new program
would take wool out from under
government price supports and
"domestically produced wool prices
would be permitted to seek their
own level in the market, compet--
ing directly with other fibers and
with imported woods, Then U. S.
wool producers would receive di-
rect payments from the Govern
ment. These would equal the diff
ference between the average mar
ket price for the season and 80
percent of parity"
Stanfield added: Each produc-
er would receive the same support
payment per pound Of wool, no
matter how much he received for
his wool in the market place. This
would allow each grower his re-
ward for efficient production and
marketing
The farm leader pointed out
that the new system would re-
quire government loans, purcha-
ses. storage, or any other inter-
ference with the market.
He said: THE new program
would not cost the American tax
payer a cent. Funds for the direct
payments would come from the
revenue which the Government re-
ccivcs from tariff receipts on wool
sent here by foreign nations" "
The real need for a new wool
program, Stanlield said, is point
cd up i'm these statistics: Amer
ican wool growers produce but
one-third Of the wool used in the
u. S. Yet, two-thirds of American
wool is now going into govern
ment storage.
The farm leader warned wool
growers not to look upon the new
proposal as cure all'', but as an
improvement over the present
program which finds wool being
put int government storage,
rather than consumption.
According to Stanfield, Madison
County is an important sheep
county in Ohio, ranking goth a.
mong the SO. There were 1,104,0OO
sheep and lambs on Ohio farms
in 1858, he said.
10000 in Madison County.
