This greater decline has reduced the parity ratio of farm products to its low est point since June 1941. Eco nomists of the Clemson Extension Service report that by mid Feb- i ruary the parity ratio had drop ped to 94. A year ago farmers' prices were exactly at parity. • The economists point out, how ever, that business prospects ap pear generally good for the next several months. High employ ment and rising wage rates are expected to keep consumer in comes at high levels. -This indi cates that domestic demand for farm products should continue strong. In the March Extension Farm Situation and Outlook, the eco nomists report that for the nation as a whole average prices received by farmers declined 1% per cent * from mid-January to mid-Febru ary with lower prices': for cattle, eggs, milk, potatoes, wheat, and corn. The February index was 16 per cent below the all-time peak of February 1951, but was 6 per cent above June 1950 just before the Korean outbreak. In South Carolina, average prices received by farmers re mained unchanged in mid-Febru ary as compared with those re ceived a month earlier. Slight in creases in the price of cotton, cot ton seed, hogs, and cowpeas were offset by declines in most other commodities. The February index of prices received by farmers In this state was 14 per cent below mid-February last year and 22 per cent below the all-time high reached in April 1951. Prices paid by farmers of the nation in mid-February were about 3 per cent below the peak reached in April and May of last year, but most of the decline in re cent months has .been in the prices of feed and livestock pro ducts which farmers buy from other farmers. Prices of industrial goods that farmers buy such as motor vehicles, motor supplies^ farm machinery, farm supplies, fertilizer, lime, and building sup plies all averaged at a near peak level in early 1953. Wage rates, interest, and taxes are the high est on record. “As a result of the decline in farm prices, the farmers' share of the dollar that consumers spend GOOD READING At The Library “Annapurna” by Maurice Her zog is the story of the scaling of Annapurna, the highest mountain ever climbed by man, as told by the leader of the French Hima layan Expedition. “Proud Kate” by Isbel Ross is a portrait of Kate, strong-willed daughter of Salmon Chase, Lin coln’s efficient secretary of the treasury. As shrewish at home as she was charming in public, Kate was unscrupulous in attaining her ambitions. “Always the Young Strangers” by Carl Sandburg not only gives the story of the poet’s childhood and youth in Galesburg, Illinois, but it also unfolds the history of a prairie town from log cabins to factories. “The Galileans” by Frank Slaughter is a novel of Mary Mag dalene. It is a dramatic romance in the field of Biblically inspired fiction. “All Done by Kindness” by Doris Moore is the amusing story of an English physician and his daughters who become involved in tracing the autheuticity of some paintings.
