Wool and lamb producera mutt
file application! for payment Un
der the IBM wool incentive pay
ment program not later than April
>0, Chairman Dwight Cable, of
the Watauga County Agricultural
Stabilliation and Conservation
Committee ha* announced. The ap
plication* must be filed at the
County ASC Office. Paymenta un
der the 1906 program will be made
on marketings of wool and lambs
completed between April 1, ISM
and March SI, 1M7.
"Completion* of marketings,"
the Chairman explains, meana that
the title of wool or lambs must
have pesaed from the aeller to the
buyer. If any pert of the sale
such as price, weight or yield
needed to determine the purchase
price U not completed within the
dates mentioned above, the sale
will not be considered as eligible
for submission under tbe 1956
program. Sales made after March
SI will be eligible under the 19S7
program, which runs from April
I of this year through March 31,
19M.
In applying for payments, pro
ducers must supply documents
showing complete information con
cerning the sale of their wool and
lamb*.
Wool incentive payments are
authorized by the National Wool
Act of 1984 to stimulate increased
production of wool. Paymenta are
made on lamba to encourage the
normal marketing of lambs with
the wool on. First payments under
the program were made last sum
mer on 1956-56 marketings. Na
tionally. these payments total ap
proximately $57.9 million. For
North Carolina these payments to
tal $46,000.
It should be borne in mind that
separate applications for shorn
wool and lamba and yearlings are
required. Farmers are advised to
check, their records to see if this
has been done. From our records
it appears that only 55 per cent of
those farmers who have filed ap
plications for payment on wool
have filed applications on lambs
and yearlings.

Fashion Notes
Silk and lilk-mixtu'ret are very
popular now and will continue to
be during the spring and rammer.
A (ilk print will be a must (or
the fasbioireonscious lady. There
are all styles to be bad.
Why not choose one with a jack
et or coat over a ilim dress? The
dreas can be worn all spring with
the jacket or coat. When the
weather becomes warm, discard
the coat and, behold, a lovely dress
to see you through the summer.
New spring and summer dresses
seem to cry for matching shoes.
For this reason you will need to
choose your colors carefully. Don't
be afraid to buy two or even three
dresses in the same color. The
outstanding color in your spring
print may be yellow. By all means
have shoes to complement Try to
find one or two more dresses the
yellow sboes can be worn with.
Thick, double shantung is being
used in the better dresses and
suits. It is beautiful, rich-looking
and will last and last This ma
terial drapes like a dream and
comes in delicious colors. It is
necessary to take the same care
when having it dry-cleaned that
you would with regular shantung.
