Mr. Parrish cited the following example to show how the wool payment program works: For the 1956 marketing year, the national average wool price was 44.3 per pound. The incentive payment rate was 40 per cent of the average price, in order to bring the average price up to the incentive level. A farmer who sold his wool for 35 cents per pound received a payment of 40 per cent of this amount, or 14 cents. This gave him a total rate of 49 cents per pound. A grower who sold his wool for 50 cents per pound dur ing the same marketing year re ceived a payment of 20 cents per pcund. giving him a total rate of 70 cents per pound for his wool. Wool payments, Mr. Parrish said, are true incentive payments.
