This year's course included a basic program of training for new water works opera tors; training on water works administration and planning for the future when popula tion increases will necessitate expansion of water works systems in many Oregon com munities; and such topics as taste and odor control in wa ter purification. Incentive Payments Set for Wool Sellers Farmers who have sold wool or unshorn lambs since April 1, 1959, probably have earned a payment under the Federal wool incentive pro gram, according to a spokes man for the Jackson county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee. : However, to collect it, farm ers should file an application in the county ASC office at the county courthouse not lat er than April 30, the spokes man reminded. These applications are to cover wool and unshorn lambs marketed not later than March 31, 1960. If there is any sale detail which is not completed until after that date, the trans action goes over into the 1960 marketings and will be eligi ble for payment in 1961.' The program for I960 which has been recently an nounced will be similar, to that during the past year. The incentive price will continue at 62 cents per pound. To en courage the best possible job of marketing the farmer earns a higher incentive payment by getting a higher price for his wool, a spokesman explained.
