*.;vv-v .;•: ill? %• Y5'?*J\ W«da«dar McHENRY PLMNDEAtEH WILL BE f IN 19SS V ' i--' « *A new kind of price program for wool goes into effect in 1955. Under the new program farmers will get more money for produce ing wool, hut the users of wool will get it at lower' costs. Congress set up the new scheme last summer when it passed the National Wool Act of 1954. .The. stated goal of the act is to , increase both the production and the use of wool. Higher returns to producers are provided to boast production. Lower prices to manufacturers are intended to increase the use pf wool. How can farmers get more money for producing wool while manufacturers get wool at lower prices? These Seemly contradictory results will tie achieved by dropping the price support for wool and using direct payments to wool growers to boost their income. Here are the differences between the Old wool program and the new one: In 1954 the average price of wool was supported at 90 percent of parity, which was 53 cents a pound.- This isupport program was carried out by loans to farmers much like the price support loans on corn and wheat. ; Under the program for 1955, each farmers will sell his wool on the open market for the best price he can get. At the end of the marketing year, the USDA will calculate the average price received by • farmers for wool. If this average^ price is below 62 cents a pound,- all producers together will be entitled to government payments to make up thedifference between what they actually received and what they would have received if the price had averaged 62 cents', a pound. This total airiount will be divided among producers in proportion to the amount of money that each received from the sale of his wool. For example, suppose the average market price that farmers receive for their 1955 wool clip is 53 cents a pound. This price is 9 cents short of the incentive level of 62 cents. This 9 cents figures out to be 17 percent of 53 cents, the average price actually received by farmers. So each farmer would be eligible for a government payment equal to 17 percent of the amuont in dollars that he received for wool. Thus, if a farmer produces and - sells $100 worth of wool, he would be eligible for an additional payment of 17 percent, or $17, from Uncle Sam. Another farmer -Who received; say, $200 for w*Mj|dc,aleo get *17 percent, or $34 from the government, regardless of the amount o% wool sold or the price per poun£. Payments will be made on any 1955 wool sold after April 1. The wool may be' sold to a private dealer or through a cooperative association. The farmer should get and keep two copies of his sales account because he will need them when he makes application for his government payment^ £oyernm«iit, paymehttt -will be appltfeft f<6* byf 4nd made' to, the farmer. Applications for payments on 1955 wool should- be made at the county ASC office as soon as possible after the wool is sold, but not later than April 1956. The rate of* payments will be calculated, and payments will be made as soon as possible after that time, probably sdmetirrie during the summer of 1956. MYFJNews This Sunday we had our Christmas program with the Sunday School. The program centered around our play, "Why the Chimes Rang." ' After the program, the Senior M.YjF. had sandwiches, cocoa and cookies while the Junior M.Y.P. went out Christmas caroling around town with ' Miss Wright. After they came back we went out. Mrs. Barger led us and we visited the Villa Home and people who were sick. Our last stop was at Phil Flicker's house. He is now up in a wheel chair. It was cold out but we had fun singing and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Next Sunday, Dec. 26, there will be no regular meeting but we will organize our basketball teams and practice. The boys and girls will each have a team.. Be at the high school at 6:30 p.m. We will practice in the girls' gym. Sue Stinespring would like everyone who has a gift for the Hartland Home to get it to her by this Sunday so she can deliver the gifts. Terry Lishamer would like to remind the kids to bring their fifty cents for the CARE package Sunday night to M.Y.F. basketball practice.
