Price Levels Not Definitely Fixed Legislation does not definitely fix the marketing level, nor the grade nor the season at which price support operations on a commodity must be used. It might not be practical for the government to purchase every small lot pf every one of the 166 supported commodities in any isolated area on any day of the year. Consequently, it may not always happen that ev ery farmer may receive at least the support price at every point in the country on any day of the year. Support price opera tions, however, must be carried out in such a way that farmers tnrougnout the nation will re ceive the average, or better of the announced support prices. It should be remembered that the average of farm prices a the present time Is 133 parity. This means that the prices of many commodities are considerably above the support levels, lor example before reaching the point of minimum guarantee In the present price support legislation the prices o the commodities listed below would have to decline by the percentages shown: Butterfat 18; chickens, 28; eggs, 14 milk, 23; turkeys, 34.
