FRIDAY. OCTOBER T. IMS PAGE FIVE Say Farm Parity Is Lowest Now Since 1941 The September Farm Situation and Outlook issued by the Clem- extension service indicates that, while prices received by farmers are adjusting downward faster than prices paid by farm ers, thus reducing the parity ratio, general business activity is im proving. This information was prepared by the department of agricultural economics extension work. * M. H. Sutherland, Clemson ex tension agricultural economist points out that the general level of prices South Carolina farmers received averaged 1 per cent low er on Aug. 15 than a month ear- Uer. the index being 261 per cent of the 1909-14 base.

Since June of 1948, the record high of a year ago, farm products prices in this state have declined 13 per cent, he states.

This relatively greater de cline in prices of things farmers •ell reduced the parity ratio to 101, the lowest since 1941. This means that it now takes more pounds of farm products to pay for the things farmers buy that I at any time since our entry into World War II,” he declares. He adds that, although demand for farm products continues strong the large volume of crops llin prospect for 1949, exceeded 'only by the record production of || 1948, is expected to cause farm prices to adjust downward during ! the next quarter. Mr. Sutherland calls attention to the fact that the downward trend in the general business ac tivity which occurred during the .summer months seems to be slack- I ening and that an Upturn in some | industrial was noted during Aug. Employment is shown to be slight ly higher in July than in June I but the 29.7 million reported em ployed was almost 2 million be low July of last year. “Wholesale prices and consumers’ prices de clined moderately during July Land August to ease the cost of living 1 per cent Lower farm prices, however, were primarily responsible for the declines,” he explains.
