Incentive Payment Rate on
Wool and Mohair Announced
The incentive payment rate on
wool and mohair has been an-
nounced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture at G5.8 per cent
on wool and 86.8 per rent on mo-
hair. This means th!at for every

There are simple tests bs
which your doctor can determine

SI 00.00 worth of wool or mohair
that you sold, you will receive
a payment of $05.80 for wool or
$80.80 for mohair. This also
means that you will receive a
higher payment, if you sold your
products for a higher price.
Many ranchers wonder how this
is figured. The support price
and the average price received
for wool and mohair in the Unit-
ed States is used to determine
the payment rate. The support
price for mohair is 70.4 cents
per pound. The average ptice
received by growers was 40.9
rents per pound in 1907. By
subtracting 40.9 from 76.4 we
have a difference of ,75.5 between
the average price anil the sup-

port prirc. To find the pay-
ment rate, divide 40.9 into 75.5
and we have the answer of 80.8
per cent.
The wool incentive support
price for 1907 is 06 cents. The
national svool avarage was .'’,9,8,
cents per pound which left a
26.2 cents difference. We di-
vide 79.8 into 26.2 and the sup-
port payment rate is 65.8 per
cent.
To figure out how much you
will receive for vour wool per
pound we can take an example
of a rancher receiving 50c pet
pound for his wool from the
buyer. You multiply 50c by 65.8
and you will receive 72.9 addi-
tional cents per pound from the
incentive payment. This makes
a total of 82.9 cents per pound
received.
An example on mohair, taking
kid hair which " brought about
$1.20 per pound times the pay-
ment rate of 80.8 per cent, we
realize $1.04 per pound. This
is a total of $2.21 which was
received for the mohair. If mo-
hair brought 70c per pound, your
incentive payment would be 30c
x 80.8 per cent for 26o per pound.
Thirty cents and 26c, the incen-
tive payment, would make a
total -of 56c per pound received
Icy the rancher.
The high rates realized are
derived from revenues received
for wool and mohair from abroad.
Now is the Time to Start
Killing Weeds
Pasture weeds are expensive.
They not only take moisture and
plant nutrients away from the
grasses, points out County Agent
W. M. Lindig, but are especially
troublesome to thk> dairyman. He
loses milk production and may
have milk rejected when it is
contaminated with weed flavors.
Now is a good time to start
killing weeds before they get
going. One pound of 2,4-D in
15 to 20 gallons of water per
acre applied as a spray will kill
a lot of weeds that are now
germinating, reminds the county
agent.
After spraying for weed con-
trol, he recommends fertilizing
the pasture to get fast growth.
Well fertilized, fast growing
sods will push weeds out. Weeds
cannot stand the competition
from fast growing pasture sods.
When spraying with 2,4-D
temperatures should he above
60 degrees J’ or above. Another
caution is not to spray with
2,4-D where clovers, vetch or
winter peas are growing since
the herbicide will kill these
plants.
After spraying with 2,4-D,
dairy cattle must be kept off the
pasture for seven clays, reminds
the county agent. He also em-
phasizes the importance of fol-
lowing label instructions when
c-iu-mu til arc .u-r-cl.-
