Farm Support
Plan Involves
Many Groups
By Vincent BurUe
United Press Stuff Correspondent
Washington mi The outcome
of the impending ficht In Coiv
gross over farm supports will
have a far-reaching effect on the
poeketbook of the nation s tarn
ers.
Producers of some crops will be
affected more than others.
The big issue is: Should price
supports be kept at the rigid, high
war-time levels? Or should the
new system of flexible supports
be allowed to go into effect; as
scheduled, on 1HM crops.
Government price supports are
calculated at a specific percentage
of a so-called "parity" or fail
price. This year 19 crops are guar
anteed mandatory government
support 11 at 90 per cent of par
ity and eight at GO per cent of
parity.
Eight Crops Mandatory j.
The new law would limit man
datory supports next year to eight
crops. It would provide "90 per
cent of parity" support for wool
and tobacco. It would provide flex
ible supports ranging from 60 to
90 percent of parity for wheat,
corn, rice, cotton, peanuts , and
Irish polatoes.
Under the new law supports
would be 7d per cent of parity
when supplies are "normal" and
no production controls are in
force.
Assuming those conditions, the
new law still could drop supports
on 1950 crops as much as 40 cents
a bushel for wheat, $30 a bale for
cotton and 29 cents a bushel for
corn. That amounts to a drop of
about 20 per cent from current
levels.
Only part of this drop would be
due to dropping the support level
from 90 to 75 per cent of parity.
The rest of the drop would result
from use of a new method for
computing the "fair" or parity
price i for individual commodities.
?' "'Due new "modernized" parity
system, set up by the 80th Con
gress, effective Jan. li 1950, would
boost the parity price for some
commodities and lower it for corn,
wheat, cotton and other crops.
Southerners Against It
The southern farm bloc is ex
pected to make a strong drive to
throw out the new parity system
and keep the old system. Produc
ers who are favored by the new
system and that includes those
livestock and dairy men who must
buy their feed grainswill fight
to retain it. . . 1
' Even if supports were continu
ed at 90 per cent of the old parity,
some experts in administrative
and congressional circles predict
privately that farmers will get
less income from 1950 crops than
from 1949 crops.
They reason as follows: cur
rent prospects are-that the 1949
harvest will produce surpluses pf
several key commodities. As a re
sult, the government will have to
slap on production restrictions to
hold clown the surpluses. And, re
ducing the volume of output will
lower gross income,' even though
support prices are kept high
explains, in part, why some farm
groups are fighting for the flexi
ble and lower support system.
Other groups, notably in the
south and to some extent in the
midwest, are willing to return to
pre-war production controls In or
der to get high supports continu
ed Producers at Odds
The question of the "modern
ized" parity formula basically in
volves n quarrel. over division of
farm income among producers of
different commodities.
Under the so-called "modern- i
Ized" system, overall farm prices
would continue to he nt "parity" j
with industrial prices when theyi
are in their lillOH relationship. I
Hut parity prices for each com-;
modity would be adjusted to take'
into account price trends during 1
the last 10 years.
The new system would lower '
the "parity" price for peanuts, po
tatoes, cotton, and most grains. ;
including wheat and corn. It
would boost the "parity" price for
wool, rice, hogs, beef cattle, but-:
tcrfat, veal calves, lambs, chick
ens, and turkey.
Thus, it would tend to encour
age farmers to shift toward a live
Mock economy anil produce more
of the meat "and dairy products
which consumers want.
Opposition to the "modernized"
parity formula comes largely
from those who want rigid war
time supports continued. Not only
would the flexible system reduw
their supports, but their crops
would get n lower parity price im
dcr the "modernied" formula.
Some congressmen say private
ly this may leave room for pos
sible "compromise' under which
the modernized parity would lie
retained, but suppori levels set
up under the new law would
he raised.
