The Agricultural Department in Washington, D.C. reports prices farmers received for their products in 1959 averaged 80 ~ cent of the parity price goal of federal farm programs. This compared with 85 per cent in 1968. The 1959 average was the lowest since 1939, Under farm law, parity prices are a standard designed to be fair. to farmers in relation to prices charged them for goods and services they use in, production and in family living. Declines in prices of livstock snd livestock products were responsible for the 1959 price setback. The practice of measuring farm prices by the parity standard is @ controversial one likely to be debated during this year’s political campaigning. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson criticised the present standard .as being—obsolete-and unrealistic. It is based largely on relationship of farm and non-farm prices in the 191014 period. That is too far back, Benson says, because it does not take into account today’s efficienin farm production. Benson says ‘there is ample room for good farm income at present or even lower dollars and cents prices for most crops and livestock. The way to that greater income, he says, is through adoption of more efficiant farming methods and practices. But most farm state Democrats argue that the parity standard is one which would promote not only farm well being, but greater stability for the entire economy because it would assure farmers greater power to buy -urban products. The Administration is seeking to get away from parity as a]. Pay a tuition fee, which includes basis of price supports. It. favors instead price supports based on recent average market prices. Launching Pad Bids Opened Soon The Army Corps of Engineers will open bids January 12 on construction of three Titan intercontinental ballistic missile launching sites in Northern California, Congressman Harold T. (Bizz)) Johnson, of the Second District (valley-mountain counties) announces. The three launching sites, all part.of a network based at Beale Air Force Base, near Marysville, Yuba County, are near Lincoln, Placer County; Pennington, Sutter County, and Chico, Butte County. It will take two years for the construction of the “silos”? which will house the huge milssiles and the contro] systems at the three locations. Specifications call for construction of all facilities, except for the operational equipment and the missiles themselves, Congressman Johnson said. Included in the contract will be storage facilities for the propellants and equipment to handle fuels, the control centers, blast locks and air filtration structures, sewage disposal and a water system and security fencing and lighting. A pre-bidding conference will be held at 19 am. January 5 in room 4202 of the State Oapitol, Sacramento, for interested contractors. Congressman Johnson says Col. H.
