U. S. Announces Woo! Incentives
The U.S. Department of ag
riculture recently announced an
incentive price of 72 cents a
pound for 1971 marketings of
shorn wool This figure is un
changed from the 1970 level.
An extension of the authority
for the wool price-support pro
gram through December 31,
1973 is contained in the Agricul
tural Act of 1970. The new
legislation amends the national
wool act by requiring that sup
port prices shall be at the above
levels for each of the three mar
keting years through the end .of
1973.
Pulled wool will continue to
be supported at a level com-'
parable to the-incentive price
for shorn wool through pay
ments on unshorn lambs.
Shorn wool payments will be
based on each producer’s re
turns from sales. The percent
age will be that required to
raise the national average price
received by all producers from

shorn wool up to the announc
ed incentive price of 72 cents
a pound
For example, payments on
1969 marketings, which begin in
April, were made at the rate of
65.1 per cent of the dollar re
turn each producer received
from the sale of shorn wool.
This percentage was based on
the difference between the in
centive price of 69 cents and
the national average grower
price of 41.8 cents a pound.
Payments to producers on the
1971 calendar year marketings
will be made beginning in April
1972. Applications for such pay
ments must be filed not later
than January 31, 1972,
Difference In Eyes
Owls differ from most birds
in that their eyes face forward,
giving them binocular -vision;
other birds must scrutihize an
object with one eye at a tune.
