PAGE THREE POWER & LIGHT COMPANY Oregon farmers who volunteer their help in producing the increased quantities of dairy products, eggs, chickens and hogs sought in the 1942 farm defense program will have the protection of new federal farm legis lation against price collapses for these particular commodities, Robert B. Taylor of Adams, chairman of the state USDA agricultural defense board, pointed out this week. this year This new act of congress, the Stea , accord- gall amendment, requires the secre for committee tary of agriculture to give public no ng to Culley, ■ agricultural programs commit tice whenever he finds it necessary to to meet at 9 o’clock Decmber I encourage the expnsion of any non A committee in charge of local ar basis commodity. The law further di headed by rects him to use public funds to sup chairman, port the farm price of the commodity Cohn, banquet chairman at not less than 85 per cent of par- Barett, program chairman, and Turner, house chaiman. Before the secretary can discontin ue a price-supporting program, he must give sufficient public notice of the termination to permit producers to make a n produc tion, Taylor explained. Secretary Wickard has already given public notice covering, until De cember 31, 9132, hogs, eggs, evapor ated milk, dry skim milk, cheese and chickens. This protection is not re- quired now, because the farm prices of all of these commodoties are well above the 85 per cent of parity level. These “price floors" will enable farm ers to plan their 1942 production in the knowledge that prices can and will be supported, should it become necessary, Taylor added. The prices a national ba ported as of September 1941 Butterfat, chick PRINTED ens, 15.6 cents a pound: eggs, 33.3 cents a dozen: hogs, $9.89 a hundred WITH weight: beef cattle, $7.14 a hundred YOUR NAME weight. These parity prices are not constant, howeevr, but are subject to change depending on the changing relationship of farm costs to farm prices as compared with the 1910- 12 SMART DESIGNS 1914 base period. This new devel- opment is an added featu of the national farm program de protect the income and security of the farmers who answer America's call alwad/5 for greater production of the vital foods,” Taylor commented.
