FARM INCOME AND PARITY
I The IMC income of American farm
em is estimated to be higher than
ever before in the history of the na
tion, topping the previous high of
IMC by more than one billion dol
The expert calculator* figure that
the farmers of this nation had gross
receipts of more than -28,000,00<M>00,
which is about twice aa much m they
had in pre-war years.
It is interesting to note that moat
of the statistics that come to publie
notice, in regard to the income of
farmers, relate to their gross re
ceipts. It is more difficult to ascer
tain the net, and practically impossi
ble to figure the avenge return on
the invented capital of agricultural
ists.
It has been apparent, however, for
many years, that the formers of the
United States, as a clar \ do not re
reive a share of the national income
in proportion with that received by
other groups.' This fact is the basis
of the parity payments. Parity is a
formula designed to give to farmers
the same percentage of the national
income that they enjoyed in selected
base yean.
It should be recognized that the
years selected for the purpose, when
economists consider that there was a
normal economic balance in tbp na
tion, did not give the farmers of the
nation anything like a proportionate
part of the national income upon a
per capita basis. Inasmuch as a
sound agriculture is vital to the wel
fare of any' nation, it is entirely
proper that government, as far as
possible, should take action to g^ve
farmers a fair proportion of the na
tional income.
A court ruled that a man was ac$
insane because he married 15 times
? he's just a glutton for punishment.
