The bread loaves, which wrre accompanlctt by a study report outlining the current farm sit uation, carried wrapi-rs deplet ing the breakdown between pro ducer and processing shares of bread prtcca. Both the wrappers and the at- tachei material, which was based on a recent Csrrgon State I'nlversity study, pointed out that the farmer's return on i loaf of bread has actually de cllned since 1UI.H. Inning the same terlod. It was chargetl. re tall bread prices have Increased by U per cent. The Wheat League said that in liMS a bread price of 12.7 cents yielded 10 cents to proccs sors and only 27 rents to the produi-er. By I'Jti the price of bread had risen to 20.7 cents, but the farmer's share had de cllned to 2 5 cents while rroc sors received 182 cents per loaf. The farm body warned that lobbyists for the bread proccs sors are endeavoring to defeat the current House bill which would provide 100 of parity to growers, it lableed claims that passage of the bill would raise bread prloes by 2 cents aa "un true." The Proposal will raise the wheat value of the loaf by ap proximately .7 of one cent," the Wheat League contends. "It It surprising to note the concern of the processor regarding this very nominal Increase when p iodic rises In bread costs total ing 8 cents tier pound have been evident during the last 13 years."
