The ratio in mid-June was 82 per cent. In other words farmers were better off last month than the month before. Amongthe increases were 90 cents per hundredweight in the average price of hogs and 70 cents for beef cattle. Hog prices in July averaged the highest since September, 1954, and beef cattle the highest since Febru ary, 1953.'The price report pro vided the basis for a mandatory boost in the price support rSte for the 1957 crop cotton. Agriculture Secretary Benson announced in February the sup port rate would be not less than 23.15 cents a pound for middling Ts-inch base grade, or 77 per cent of the cotton parity as of the start of the marketing year Aug. 1. The report showed that the parity price has increased from 36.56 cents a pound last Febru ary to 36.93 cents. This could make the new price support rate 28.44 cent. This means an aver age of about $1.45 cents a bale in the price support loan rate.
