The wool may be stored in a commercial ware house or consigned for future sale, but the owner will need to retain title during this period if the wool is to be eligible for payments. Under the National Vrool Act of 1954, the Secretary of Agricul ture has announced an incen tive price of 62 cents per pound for shorn wool, grease basis, for the 1955 marketing year. Pay ments will be made to produc ers if the national average price received by all producers of wool falls below the incentive price. Each producer should sell his wool for the best possible price, Peterson stresses, because in centive payments will be calcu lated as a percentage of the in dividual producer's net sales pro ceeds. For example, if the in centive price is 20 percent above the national average price or wool sold this year, the payment made to each eligible producer will be 20 percent of his own net sales proceeds for wool, it will not be based on the differ ence between his own price and the incentive price.

The clinching evidence comes to light in your first few minutes behind the wheel. At a touch of your toe, Pontiac's mighty Strato-Streak V-8 responds instantly, whether you're in city traffic or cruising the open road. With Pontiac's new; bigger brakes and recir culating ball steering, handling is almost effortless. New wide-stance rear springs; roomy, luxurious Body by Fisher and shock-proof chassis complete the fine-car picture.
