made to distribute the money to
the rightful producers who sold

In addition, 1973 crop carry-
over stocks owned by marketing
board have been sold and rec-
eipts placed in the pool, now
making it possible for a final
board payment of 36¢ per bushel
to be made to producers on the

producers totalling $1.26 per
bushel with the use of one cheque

the payments to about 18, 000
