Vote On National
Wool Referendum

"self-help" feature, which is an
integral and, we believe, vital. part
of the wool program which has
achieved much for sheep produc-
ers and the nation since 1854.
During the relatively short per-
iod this program has been in oper-
alton, we have seen:
1. An upturn in sheep and wool
production, a paramount objective
of the program.
2. A sharp increase in wool con-
sumption.
8. A near elimination of govern
ment wool program cost
4. The termination of govern
ment purchase and loan programs
for wool.
5. The complete elimination of
tremendous stocks of wool prev
iously acquired by the government
under earlier programs.
6. Increased private market in
centives for quality. production
and improved marketing prac-
tices.
I z. The responsibility for mar
keting, storing and handling wool
returned to private trade-where
it belongs.
To properly evaluate this pro-
gram, we must consider condi-
tions existing at the time the act
was passed. Between 1912 and
1854, sheep production in the U.
S. dropped $50. Producers, caught
in a price squeeze, were liquidat-
ing their flOcks at a rate which
threatened national security.
During this period, while do
mestic producers were being fore
ed to liquidate their fiocks, wool
imports were on the increase. Even
though domestic consumption in
creased, more and more American
wool was going into government
ownership at taxpayers expense,
and by 1855, more than $50 mil
lion pounds of u. S. wool were un-
der the control of the Commodity
Credit Corporation.
The program authorized by this
the self-help pro-
motional feature-has permitted all
domestic wool to go into regular
channels of private trade. Fur
thermore, the trade has absorbed
current production plus the $50
million pounds from CCC holdings
and the government has been "out
of the wool business" since mid
December 1857.
We know of no other program
federal or otherwise-which has
better served the commodity in
terests of agricultural producers
and the nation.
The promotional program. offer
ed through the referendum-by
two-thirds majority favorable vote
lis producer-financed and direct
ed. 1t has, during it's relatively
short period of operation, gained
an outstanding reputation among
all phases of the livestock and
meat industry. Even though it is
largely a long-range program, it
is even now bringing encouraging
results for sheepmen and the ma
tion.
Wool consumption for the first
four months of 1859 was almost
4OTo above that for a comparable
period of 1858. Lamb prices were
more stable.
A major objective of the wool
act was to-in the interest of ma
tional security-encourage the an
nual production of 800 million
pounds of wool. Sheep numbers
have increased by 1,227,000 head
since the act was passed and have
increased go this year.
All this is encouraging progress.
A "yes" vote in the referendum
will help assure the continuation
of the self-help, producer-approv-
ed, producer-financed and produc-
er-directed program, which has
we'll served the interest of sheep
men and the nation.
