TIE PLATTCMOCTn JOTONAt PAGE THREE Monday, March 9, 1953 Legislative SIDELIGHTS.. by BERN1E CAMP Information Director Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation Confusion of Tongues Americans, are today the vic tims of a confusion of tongues, a strange sort of double-talk in which words have dissimilar meanings when used by differ- I ent individuals and groups Along with this victimizing of J the average man with a confus ion of tongues, those who pre tend so knowingly to use these words with stiangely dissimilar! meanings somehow leave the' average man with the impres sion that he should know all they talk about. Consequently, the average American rather than admit his lack of compre hension nods his head agreeably and repeats and compounds the confusion. For the past quarter century or so the economists and the politicians have been glibly throwing around the term -parity" when they speak of farm prices. "Parity" has become a common and accepted word in the language with reference to the farm problem; yet, when most individuals are pinned down for a definition of the word they stumble and halt and finally confess a confusion as to wi.at parity is. 1 his is a nat ural reaction because they have heard so many different ver sions and explanations of "par ity", each of which seems to coninci witn otners that it is impossible to comprehend the truth. "Parity" is a word of many meanings, almost as many meanings as economists and politicians feel free to give it. It is impossible to intelligent ly discuss agricultural prices without agreeing upon defini tions. To all practical purposes, it is fruitless to seek such agree ment on the word "parity." The different economists and poli ticians are not talking about the same thing when asked to de scribe it. One politician, in running for office, knowingly tells the vot ers, "I'm for 100 percent of par ity for you farmers." His -rival comes along and says, "Why I'm for 100 percent of parity too." Each is talking about a different thing. The first politician may have been referring to "parity" in the broad general sense of the econ omist who uses it to measure the relationship of the prices the farmer receives to the prices of things he has to buy. The second politician may be think ing about some sort of law to "guarantee" a basic price to the farmer "parity" as a rela tionship for legislated price sup ports Still another politician may have another diea entirely. When the farm price support system was first discussed, peo ple began to talk of "parity" as a mathematical formula for de termining the fair exchange of farm for city products, thus con fusion "parity" as a substitute for "price" of individual com for "price" of individual com modities Let's examine it this way. It is possible to have 100 percent "parity" price support and still ,aieYe 100 Percent of "par- t-i iUi lftUUC"-. 1U"4BUU 11U a ing a common language. Chanc hke more confusion of tongues . , and double-talk, but it works' are that once that was done like this I there would not be too wide a Let us' assume that the "'par- f,' TT11 am0ng agri; ity" price of wheat was 100 cultural leaders, economists and percent, but bad weather ruin- ed the crop. You have 100 per cent "parity" all right, but there is no wheat to sell, no income. Then hew could you be on a 100 percent "parity" of income basis with city dwellers?. . On the other hand, suppose you had 100 percent "parity" price support and you had a bumper wheat crop. You get the 100 percent "parity" price for your wheat, but a big surplus of ! wheat is pile d up in storage. If j the high parity support is guar- , anteed year after year and the surplus continues to pile up, there is soon going to be a de mand that Congress refuse to appropriate public funds for crops in over - supply. Such a demand would end in the set ting up of limitatians upon planting and harvesting; and quite possibly there would be a demand to do away with the support price altogether. We must conclude then that high price per bushel or high supcorts per bushel cannot ac tually achieve 100 percent "par ity" or a fair share of the economic pie because it cannot guarantee that the farmer who has a few or no bushels of wheat to sell is going to have an in come; nor can it guarantee that the farmer who has a good year and produces in abundance wTill not eventually be limited in pro duction and income.

The stockings, some of which once sheathed the well-known Dietrich limbs, will be sold to buy TV sets for hos oital patients. Let's agree on a few basic 1 facts. All farmers want 100 per 'Aug. 1. Well-grown production cent equality ("parity") with i bred pullets are usually in 50 the rest of the economy in terms of what things they produce will ' buy. Farmers cannot agree on how they are going to obtain this economic equality because they are confused by economic and political double-talk that means different things to dif ferent people. Perhaps the wisest thing we could do to begin to solve our agricultural price problems would be to first pause and check and get together on our deiimtion of such terms as I -parity" so that we are speak politicians;, and we could then begin to devote our attention to solution of farm problems, rath er than lose our way in the con- fusion of "parity" definition ar- gumenis. j Mrs. Frances Olson underwent ' surgery in Washington County hospital at Washington, Iowa, Monday morning.

H. Claybaugh of the University of Nebraska. Those are the months when there is the greatest spread be tween graded eggs and the cur rent receipt price. Mr. Claybaugh says there is no mystery about having pullets lay plenty of good-sized eggs by months old.

PEANUT BUTTER Peanuts and peanut butter have high food value and are important in planning low-cost ! or meat-less meals. Peanuts aren't really nuts, of course, but belong to the pea and bean family the legumes. They rate high in the quantity and quality of protein they fur nish and may be used as an al ternate for meat, eggs, or cheese. Two tablespoons of peanut but ter can supply about one-tenth of the day's requirement of pro tein. Peanuts also have a high fat content which makes them a good source of food energy, and they are important for their B vitamins being exceptionally high in niacin. Early Vaccination Of Spring Pigs Is Recommended Hog raisers should have their spring pigs vaccinated if there have been recent erysipelas cut breaks in their herds or in the neighborhod, the American Foundation for Animal Health advised today. Erysipelas is becoming more of a threat to hog producers in this area every year, according to the Foundation. The disease, which causes crippling and death, can be controlled by vac cination. "Proper vaccination will us ually protect young pigs until i they are marketed." a Founda- tion spokesman said. "However, ; erysipelas in unvaccinated pigs may kill more than 50 per cent j and leave the others stunted and unthrifty. The Foundation suggested far mers get an immediate diagnos is if erysipelas is suspected be cause the disease is easily con fused with hog cholera, enteritis For Car and Fire INSURANCE W'm. S.
