Montana Wool
Prices Tops
Other States

Bozeman - MOntana'S average
wool price of "a cents per pound
topped the average of all other
states in 1854, it is revealed in a
report compiled by the Agricul-
tural Marketing service of the
USDA, says E. P. circuit, extern
sion livestock specialist at Mon
tana State college.
The next four states in line be-
hind Montana were: Texas, SO
cents; Nevada, SO cents; California,
So cents; and Louisiana, 56 cents.
The u. S. average price for wool
IN 1854 was $50 cents, one cent
under the 1858 average.
Average fleece weight of Mon
tana wool in 1854 was 9.8 pounds,
up one-tenth of a pound from
1858.
The high average price for
Montana wool in 1854 was due to
a number of factors, circuit said.
For one thing, a better job of
growing and marketing is being
done in the state and this is be-
ing recognized by the wool trade
through its buyers in Montana.
More accurate knowledge of the
shrinkage of Montana wool as a
result Of core testing work done
by the Montana Wool laboratory
and cooperating growers is anoth-
er factor. Wool pool organizations
play a part too, he said, since
they require their members to do
a better job of shearing and pack
ing their wool.

NEWS ! |

A considerable number o
widows, young children, anC
aged parents of working people
who died between June 1910 anc
September 1850 have failed t.
claim the monthly benefits pay.
able to them under a 1854
change in the social security
law, announced Robert B
Youmans, Manager Of the ZaneS.
vile social security office. Those
who do not apply for their bene-
fits before October l, he pointed
out, will not be able to receive
benefits for all the months back
to September 1854, the effective
date of the new provision in the
law.
Under this provision, it is now
possible to pay monthly social
security benefits to the qualified
survivors of workers who died
between June 1910 and Septem-
Der 1850 if the deceased wage
Garner had credit for as little as
a year and a half of work under
social security. The families of
many of these workers applied
for benefits at the time of the
family breadwinner's death, Mr..
Youmans said, but were told
that they could not receive pay
ments because under the law, as
it then stood, the worker had not
earned enough social security
credit to provide survivors bene-
fits for his family.
Monthly benefits under this
provision may be paid to the
aged widows of such workers
who at the time Of death had
worked on jobs under social
security for at least a year and
a half - to surviving children
under 18 years of age, and to
their mothers. Where no widow
or children survived the work
er, payments can be made to his
aged parents if he was providing
their support.
Where a claim for social sec
urity benefits is filed within IL
of the time a beneficiary
is first eligible, his payments can
be made to him retroactively
for the whole period, Mr.. You
mans pointed out. But if a claim
is delayed for more than II
months, benefits for some
will be lost. He there
fore urged the survivors of
workers who died between June
1910 and September 1850 to get
in touch with their nearest social
security offices before October l,
1855. Qualified claimants who
apply before that date can be
paid benefit back to Sept. 1854.
