Sow. 1-CAP. The house banking committee was reported today to have voted to recommend a price control bill allowing celling prices on farm products to be substantially high er than the previously considered 110 per cent of parity. Members said the committee had decided to list three alterna tives for fixing such prices and to require the price administrator to use whichever is the highest. The three: 110 per cent of parity, the aver age farm prices from 1919 to 1929, and the avajage of prices last October 1. ( Parity is a; price level which would give the farmer the same purchasing power for his pro ducts, in terms of non-farm goods, he had In the base period of 1909--14.) As for price ceilings on non farm items, the committee was said to have favored basing these on October 1 levels. These levels were considerably higher than those of the July 29 base date mentioned when the price control bill was introduced.

TOSEECwHEREYOO TJ Price Support to Protect Farmers On Defense Foods Oregon farmers who volunteer their help In producing the in creased quantities of dairy prod ucts, eggs, chickens and hogs sought In the 1942 farm defense program will hnve the protection of new federal farm legislation against price collapses for these particular commodities, Robert B. Taylor of Adams, chairman of the state USDA agricultural de fense board, pointed out this week. This new act of congress, the Steagall amendment, requires the secretary of agriculture to give public notice whenever he finds it necessary to encourage the expansion of any non-basic commodity. The law further di rects him to use public funds to support the farm price of the commodity at not less than 85 per cent of parity. Before the secretary can dis continue a price-supporting pro gram, he must give sufficient public notice of the termination to permit producers to make a readjustment In production, Tay lor explained. Protection List issued Secretary Wlckard has already given public notice covering, un til December 31, 1942, hogs, eggs, evaporated milk, dry skim milk, cheese and chickens. This pro tection is not required now, be cause the farm prices of all of these commodities are well above' the 85 per cent of parity level. These "price floors" will enable farmers to plan their 1912 pro duction in the knowledge that prices can and will be supported, should it become necessary, Tay lor added. The following commodity parity prices, on a national ba sis, were reported as of Septem ber 15, 1941: Butterfat, 34.8 cents and pound; chickens, 15.G cents a pound; eggs 33.3 cents a doz en; hogs, $9.89 a hundredweight; beef cattle, $7.14 a hundred weight. These parity prices are not constant, however, but are subject to change depending on the changing relationship of farm costs to farm prices as com-" pared with the 1910-14 base period. , , ji j ., "This new price-supporting de velopment Is an added feaiure of the national farm program de signed to protect the income and security of the farmers who an swer America's call for greater production of the vital foods," Taylor commented. Butter, Cream Graders Lose Oregon Licenses Cracking down on butter graders who fail to comply wilh the state law, the slate depart-1 ment of agriculture has revoked the license of one grader and I suspended the license of a cream grader for a 30-day period.
