Schedule increases have already been made to provide for the increased value of slipe wool on stock killed from June 1, 1947, until t'he end of the season. ! Under the agreement the following per head payments will be made as soon as practicable to farmers who sold their sheep and lambs at schedule rates during the period October 1, 1946, to May 31, 1947. North Island Woolly Lambs: Killed before 1/1/47, per head 9id; during January lid; February 12-gd; March 13Jd; April 15d; May 16d.
