The

times of abundance.

At present_ the government is obliged by law to support basic farm crops such as cotton, wheat corn. tobacco and peanuts at 90 per cent of parity.

Parity is a price formula de- signed to give farmers a fair re- turn on their products in relation to the prices of things they buy.

Benson, blaming high-level sup- ports for the huge surplus stocks of government - owned butter, wheat and other commodities, has said he will recommend a pres- ldentiiil veto if Congress votes to extend the rigid supports.

STORMY ISSUE

A gathering storm over the price. support issue was reflected as Senator Homer Ferguson tRep. Mich). chairman of the Senate Republican policy committee, drew support from senator spessard Holland (Dem. Pia.) in a. speech attacking high-level supports.

"The evidence all indicates that both the government and farmers themselves have gotten into serious difficulties only on commodities which have been supported at 90 Per cent of parity," Ferguson told the Senate.

Holland. agreeing with. r u said 93 Per cent of I-'lo‘i-i£S's‘fo'i'Ira‘ir)i' Dr0dUce—incIudlng its citrus fruits —lack price supports. He said the growers don't want them.
