American Farmers'
Well Being Improves
As Prices Increase
Washington (IP) The well
being of American fanners as
a whole went up last month.
Their prices ; increased. Their
costs went down.
The Agroulture Department's
monthly price report Wednes
day showed prices farmers re
ceived for crops and livestock
crowled up 1 per cent in the
month ended July 15. This
was due largely to higher prices
for livestock, poultry, eggs and
dairy products.
At the same time prices paid
by farmers for goods, services,
interest, taxes and farm wages
dropped one-third of 1 per cent.

This caused the parity ratio
between " prices received and
prices paid to rise to 84 per cent.
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.
