Wheat Production Control

To establish and maintain a "parity” price for wheat Is the real goal of the national wheat production ' control program, according to L. E. I Archbold, Adams county agent. Parity price means a price which j will give a bushel of wheat the, i same buying power It had in the I I pre war period. 1909 to 1914. In ! 'other words, ft Is a price which will make It possible to buy a much , ’ with a bushel of wheat as a farmer I ' cou,d buy with wheat before the [ ; war. Just what this purity price will' , be In any given period will depend ] niton the price levels of the things I , the farmer has to buy. If the price| ' Os clothes ami machinery and othI er retail goods is up, the price of wheat will have to be correspond- ! I Ingly high in order to bring the I farmer “parity." If the American wheat growers! produce more wheat than the effective deni md, the price tends to fall below “parity.” That is the basic economic reason back of the whole production control program —to bring the production of wheat in line with effective demand. Furthermore, the adjustment payments in the wheat plan make. It possible for the individual to! control his production without loss of income. Following are a number of questions that have been generally asked at the wheat meetings and their i answers: I Question: If I come in on the' I wheat plan, how many bushels wild •|I receive adjustment payments? I i Answer: On 54 per cent of your! i past average production for the .'base period. This is your allot-] nient, on which the payments will ] be made. Question: When will I get my I I cash payments? I Answer: - For this year's crop. I you will get a payment of 20 cents ; 'on each bushel of your allotment' : this fall, and another payment of ] between 8 and 10 cents a bushel when all seeding of wheat in yourl ! loca'tty has been completed. j
