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.

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.
