PAGE TWELVE Wheat Decline Gives Concern Disparity Between Prices Farmers Pay and Cet Are Studied The current disparity between prices for wheat and prices farm ers pay Is causing renewed inter est In the "parity" price principle which congress has used as basis of agricultural adjustment legis lation during recent years. In the case of wheat, parity prices are Trices high enough so that a bush el of wheat willbuy as much vt the commodities farmers purchase as durir.r the 1910-1914 prewar period, extension economists at Oregon State college explain. Wheat prices at the average farm In Oregon were 72 cents a bushel at mid-March, according to the latest report on the agricul tural situation by the OSC exten sion serrice. Only 72 on Parity In the whole country the aver age farm price of wheat was 91 ier cent of the 1910-1914 aver age, while the farm cost index was around 126. giving wheat a current purcL ing power of ap proximately 11 per cent of "parity-." The accompanying chart' shows that wheat was well above parity in price during the World war. This stimulated world production of wheat, export demand fell off, stocks accumulated, and prices re mained below parity for 15 years, except for a short period. Export demand is still low, but produc tion In the United States is In creasing and stocks are accumu lating again. Gardeners' and Ranchers' Mart PORTLAND. Ore..
