sale of wool by the payment
rate of 21.8 percent. This
percentage method of
payment Is designed to
encourage growers to im
prove the quality and
marketing of their wool. In
any marketing year for
which incentive payments
are made, the higher the
price a grower receives for
his wool, the larger his
payment will be.
A payment rate of 52 cents
per hunderedweight on
unshorn lambs sold or
slaughtered in 1974 was also
announced by USDA. This
payment is designed to
compensate growers for the
wool they market on live
lambs rather than as shorn
wool. The payment is based
on the shorn wool payment
rate, average weight of wool
per hundredweight of lambs,
and value of lamb’s wool
relative to the National
average value of shorn wool.

U. S. Senator Hugh Scott
last week asked the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
to restore a proposed $16,000
cut in its budget so that the
Department’s Annual
Mushroom Report will not be
discontinued.
In a statement before the*
Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee on
Agriculture, Senator Scott
said the report “is vital to
the success” of the domestic
mushroom industry, of
which Pennsylvania
produces 59 percent of the
national crop.
The report, he said,
“provides the only official
and accurate information on
mushroom production,
prices, growth and other
conditions.”
“I am aware that the
Department is under
pressure to reduce its ex
penses and I certainly ap
preciate its efforts in this
direction,” Scott added.
“But the cost of this service
... is insignificant when
compared to the valuable
help it provides for this
important industry.” He said
the Report “is a small price
to pay for the continued
prosperity of this industry.”

Corn-soy: the ideal source
of amino acids
Feed the Vigortone corn-soy way
For some time now, universities and top
nutritionists have agreed that a corn-soy
ration provides the ideal level and
balance of amino acids for growing and
finishing swine. In fact, one leading
nutritionist recently concluded: “There is
no single ingredient or group of ingre
dients that will economically substitute
for soybean meal in swine rations.”
Corn-soy rations, like all swine rations,
must be fortified with the proper levels of
major minerals, trace minerals, vitamins
and other ingredients vital to the health
and growth of the pig. This is where
Vigortone pre-mixes come in.

perform a Vigortone fortified corn-soy
ration. The reasons are simple. In addi
tion to providing the proper balance of
all 10 essential amino acids, you also as
sure adequate levels of other nutrients
even when poor quality grain is fed.
- Unlike commercial programs, the ra
tion is not robbed of proper nutrition
when you cut back on protein (amino
acids), because your major minerals,
trace minerals, vitamins and other ingre
dients are separate.
