seeding, application of lime,
phosphate and sulfur, chemical
weed control.
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.
