ped up almost 35 per cent above pre-war production levels. Be- cause of food stockpiles, the end of the war in Europe will see the present demand disappear almost overnight. An end of ra- tioning may help on some com modities but this will be more than offset by sale of surpluses in this country.
 What will the answer be? Hardly an Agriculture depart ment official or an operator in the farm lobby line doesn't have some pet solution.
 Generally, these include dump ing farm products abroad at less than production prices, with some restrictions to assure that they won't be resold competitive ly to the United States; another broad program Of blowing under all farm products that are over poduced; expansion of the school lunch and charity feeding pro- grams; and concentration on con- version of surplus farm products to industrial uses, such as in the manufacture of plastics.
 The non-agricultural members of Congress gripe that almost any solution is going to hit the tax payer right in his wallet. These and others fear that any effort to solve it by dumping on other na- tions will endanger foreign rela- tions at a time when they need most to be preserved.
 Congress has tossed the whole problem in the lap of Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard. They have just extended him an invitation to come in and tell them what can be done about it.

FARM PRICE PROBLEM TO THE FORE
By JACK STINEfT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18. -tAP)-There's one question that's going to get bigger in the months to come. It is: how are farm prices going to be maintain ed as surpluses are released and demand drops off? It's the same old story that plagued us after World War I and both Capitol Hill and the administrative branch are starting to hammer their heads in an effort to solve the problem.
 Office of War Mobilization Di- rector James F. Byrnes first stat ed the dilemma when he warned Congress that it would probably take two billion dollars to SUD- port farm prices in 1945 at pres ent parity levels. Byrnes isn't a pessimist. He has been informed that about six million tons of food (unprocessed wheat exclud- e6 will be released when the war in Europe is over. He esti- mates that at least two million tons of this will have to be dump ed on local markets, which leaves a generous allowance for con- tinued military consumption and disposals through UNRDA to blighted Europe.
 There already is talk here that farm incomes are likely to de- cline four or five billion dollars next year. While that still will be several billions above the 1919 level and more than three times the depression low, 1t has farm state Congressmen and farm vote minded government officials worried more than almost any other phase of the postwar pro- gram.
 According to Department of Agriculture experts the problem is simply this: Congress has told the farmers that it will maintain prices at 90 per cent of parity through 1947 (parity is the sell ing price that will produce the buying power of the farm dollar in the normal years 1910-14.
 Tn order to meet war needs, farm production has been step-
