Vital 10 Nation
Expert Tells Meeting
That Pority Prices
Must Be Maintained

Purchasing power of the farmer
must be maintained through parity

production and marketing adminis-
tration declared:
I'VE learned from sad experience
in the early sos what can hap
pen to this country when any large
group of our people are no longer
potential customers.
Must Watch Price Parity.
when farmers could no longer
buy, agriculture crumbled and
pulled our whole economic structure
down with it. We built back slowly
from that low point, and we hope
TO be able to avoid a repetition OF
the same disaster as an aftermath
Of this war.
In order to avoid it, one of the
things we must do is watch the re-
lation of the farmers price to his
cost OF living. 1t should be neither
too high nor yet too low"
During the last few years, he ex-
planned, farmers have been getting
parity prices and better for most
OF their products, and this, he added
has resulted in 'fair price" to the
consumer.
I'VE can't afford to let that price
down." he warned.
Must Be Able to Buy,
The farmer must be able to buy
from industry" Mr.. Dodd declared.
II we are to have a stable economy.
II the weather doesn't interfere
with q good growing season." he
predicted, farmers will continue to
produce near the record levels they
have hit for the last several years" !"
