Sept. 23 Deadline For
Wool Promotion Vote
If you are eligible to vote in the referendum on the wool market - promotion program, your ballot is due in the ASCS county office. The last date it will count is Friday, Sept. 23, accordingto H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. An “eligible” voter is one who has owned sheep or lambs 6 months of age or older for at least 30 consecutive days since last Jan. 1. Ballots may be cast — by mail or in person — at the ASCS county pffice serving the county where the producer’s farm or ranch headquarters is located as soon as they are received; they should reach the office by the close of business on Sept. 23 in order to be counted. The Chairman emphasized that the referendum will not affect the wool payment program itself, which has been extended by law through 1969. The voting will determine whether growers want to continue financing wool and lamb market - promotion activities for the same period through deductions from the wool payments they receive. Deductions under the new agreement would be up to 1 1/2 cents a pound on shorn wool and 7 1/2 cents a hundredweight on unshorn lambs, com
