To Complete so
Wool Program

Wool and lamb producers
must complete all details of mar
keting not later than March 81
for the sale to qualify for pay
ment under the 1860 wool pro-
gram, Lynn Jordan, Chairman of
the Holmes Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation County
Committee, pointed out today.
Later marketing of wool and
lambs would be eligible for pay
ments under the 1861 program.
The chairman explained that,
under program regulations, WOO
which is marketed" means that
title has passed to the buyer, the
wool has been delivered to the
buyer, either physically or
through documents which trans
fer control~to the buyer, and the
last of the factors needed to
determine the total purchase
price payable by the buyer (price
per pound, weight, yield, etc. is
available.
Thus, wool will not be con-
sidered as marketed" and so
eligible for 1860 PROGRAM pay
ments unless all details of the
sales r settled and all the in
formation needed on the sales
documents - including the net
sales proceeds = is completed by
March 81.
Payments under the 1860 pro-
gram will be made this summer
when the payment rates can be
determined, based on the average
prices received by producers for
shorn wool during the 1860 mar
