BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District I f Price Administrator Loon Hen­ derson has his way, farm price ceil­ ings will be cut hack to parity, with­ out regard to prices at which' farm produqftfJhAVe been selling through- out twFpast few months, 'Appearing before the Senate Committee consid­ ering anti-inflation legislation, Hert- derson objected to the provision which would prevent the placing.of a ceil­ ing on farm products at less than the highest .price any such product brought in the open market between ” January 1st, .1942, and September 15, 1942, or at less than parity, whichever might be the highest. He insisted that the parity price basis alone should he used in figuring farm com­ modity ceilings, and made^a statement ' to the Committee that, hogs were selling at too high a1price on the farm a n d . that he believed hog prices should be cut back to the parity price. Average .hog prices reached $14.13 per hundred-on August 15th o f this year. The parity price per hundred for hogs would be $11.05, So, eviden­ tly, if Mr. "Henderson, has bis way the farmers o f the country will Hot be permitted to receive more than $11.05 per hundred for their hogs. Under the same Henderson formula beef cattle, which have been, averaging $11.30 per hundred, would be cut back .to $8.24 per hundred, the parity price. Lambs would be cut from $12.07 per hundred to $8.94, and- wool would be reduced from an average o f 39.4 cents per, pound to 27.8 cents. It is doubt­ ful that the Congress will ever enact legislation which,1will permit Such drastic reductions in prices-ta be paid the farmers for their products. DIVORCE CASKS Albert E.

R. l,in a petition againBt Berry Davis, Detroit, Mich., whom she married October 19, 1933, at Williamsburg, Ky., uses neg­ lect as grounds.- Daisy B. Meeks is plaintiff in an action against Edward M. Meeks; charging neglect and cruelty. They were married July 22, 1940, at Cov­ ington, K y , , . A minor, Dean Mahaffey, by bis next friend, Leo Mahaffey, seeks a divorce from Betty L.

Bowles on charges o f neglect. They were mar­ ried March 8, 1941, at Portsmouth.- The House ■anti-inflation hill pro­ vides that in figuring parity prices on farm products the cost o f farm labor must be-taken into consideration. ' Just why the cost o f farm labor has inever been considered in figuring parity prices Jfor farm" products is .Hard to understand. Farm .leaders in­ sist that it would only be fair!tio in­ clude such labor costs as one hi the prime elements in fixing farm prices. President Roosevelt, in his address oh inflation, specifically mentioned that farm laber costs should be .included and considered in such connection. However,' .Administration staticians find themselves in a rather peculiar position. I f farm labor costs are in­ cluded in figuring parity prices for farm products, then farm prices must be jpaterjally increased over the pres­ ent parity; price schedule as set up by the Department o f Agriculture. Inci­ dentally, it might be mentioned that While the total national income from all sources fo r 1942 will he approxi­ mately one hundred and twenty bil­ lion dollars, the total incoine o f farm­ ers from all sources will he but f if ­ teen billion dollars-or ap increase of less than four billion dollars over last year. I f some o f the Administration leaders are correct, then the farmers o f the country with an income o f less than one-eighth o f the total national income, and an increase o f farm in- -come o f hut one-tenth o f the total national increase, are primarily re­ sponsible for inflationary troubles.
