Therefore, while I fully recog nize the excessive abuses that have accompanied administration of price control, I cannot do other than strongly recommend its continuance . . . ," the director declared. Director Peterson discussed briefly parity, holding that it is important to placed on the relationship between agricultural prices and the prices of non-agricultural commodities; a fa vorable political, climate in which both labor and agriculture, and in dustry management as well, can through efficiency produce more goods and services, thus lowering unit costs and in which the program tor full employment and fair prices j must include fair and reasonable wages for ail workers, including ag ricultural workers; and taxation, par ticularly/ as it bears upon real prop erty. Turning to the specific item in which the league is most interested, wheat,, the director held that this commodity will not be in great trouble “if we can maintain at least ! our present level of national income 1 in terms of dollars and a considerably ! greater income in terms of produc tion for use.” He urged increasing attention to soil conservation, de claring that “it you are to continue to grow wheat successfully and effici ently your soils and their preserva tion require your first and foremost attention. Predicts Wheat |be He predicted greater use of wheat for feed and commended the possi bilities of combining * livestock and wheat productions. Agricultural industries in Oregon are in generally strong condition, he. said. Oregon has long been an ex porting state and has given close and successful' attention to quality. As production and ^demand come more closely into balance quality win again take its place of prominence in the marketing of agricultural prod ucts. "Quadty is a factor which needs constant and continuing attention.
