Farmers Seek For Agriculture Washington. - Farm state rep resentatives tied a demand for in creased agricultural prices to President Truman's call for a boost in labor's wages. Led by Rep. Pace (D-Ga.l they sought to rewrite the farm parity formula so as to include the cost of farm labor in the "fair price" ' computation. Parity is deemed to be a farm commodity price which will give farmers a purchasing power equi valent to a former favorable per iod, usually 1909-1914. Pace told reporters it is as ne cessory to maintain the purchas ing power of the farmer as that of the laborer. The formula revision, agricul ture experts snid, would cost many parity prices by approxi mately 31 percent. For example, the government under present conditions would consider 28.4 cents a pound a "fair price" for cotton, instead of the present 21.7 cents parity level; $2.02 a bushel for wheat instead of $1.55; and $147 a bushel for com ,nstead of $1.12. With the unanimous approval of the house agricultural committee, Rose Hill Proposes Huge est War Project For ' RETAIL PRICE OF BUTTFR r-XPECTED TO PISE 5-6 CENTS The retail price of butter went up five or six crnts a pound at al most nil stores Thursday.
