TOP PARITY:
The United States general
level of prices being received by
farms Is approximately IB per
cent above ''parity," with arm
wage rates omitted from the
formula, according to the week
ly review of farm market, price,
and outlook ' Information pre
pared by the extension acrvice
at OSC. The picture Is finite
different, however, when farm
wage rntes are considered In ad
dition to commodities farmers
buy, taxes, and interest.
The national Index ahows
farm wages 200 per cent higher
than the 1033-1 030 average,
while the figures for Oregon
Indlcato 325 per cent above that
average. In sharp contrast, the
national Index of prices paid Vf
farmers for commoditlea, In
tereat, and taxca Is only 35 per
cent above the 1935-1039 level.
Higher Rates
As of July 1, farm wage rotes
In Oregon and generally through
out the nation were 10 per cent
higher than a year ago. The
national average increase in the
index of pricoa paid for com
moditlea, Interest, and taxes was
only about 2 per cent over a year
ago, The combination of wage
rates and other costs practically
offsets the average advonce of
7 per cent above a year ago in
the general level of prices re
ceived by farmers.
Release Needed
For Turkey Sales
Turkey growers must obtain
a release from the regional head
quarters of tho office of mar

pled turkeys or breeding stock

poultry husbandry at Oregon

tlstician Harold J. Rosslor said
farmers had asked the. agency to
help keep tho market price up
but had been refused because
this could bo accomplished only
by diverting potatoes, ncoded to
help out the food shortage, to
glucose and starch markets.
A suggested "embargo" on
potato digging In the northwest
for a week ' would have to be
voluntary among farmers," Ros
