THE TEXAS MESQUJTER
MESQUITE, TEXAS
Farmers Can Make
Headway By Full
Participation
With the recent determination of
1941 parity payment rates, Dallas
County farmers can now estimate the
amount they can earn through full
participation in the 1941 AAA farm
program, according to W. W. Par-
mer, Secretary of the County AAA
Committee.
Parity payments, based on the
normal yields on allotted acreages,
will be made at the rate of 1.38
cents per pound on cotton, 10 cents
per bushel on wheat, and 3 2.4 cents
per barrel on rice, the AAA official
said. Farmers who participate in
the 1941 AAA program and plant
within their farm acreage allotments
of these crops are eligible to receive
payments at these rates, he declared.
In addition to parity payments,
cooperating farmers will receive con-
servation payments based on the nor-
mal yield of the farm acreage allot-
ments. As previously announced,
conservation rates for 1941 are 1.37
cents per pound on cotton, 8 cents
per bushel on wheat, 8.91 cents per
barrel on rise, 11.25 cents per 100
pounds on peanuts, $1.30 per acre
on commercial vegetables, and an
average of $1.00 per acre on gener-
al soil-depleting crops for Dallas
County. All payments are subject
to deductions if acreage allotments
are overplanted.
Farmers, also, may earn payments
under the Agricultural Conservation
program for carrying out approved
soil-building practices up to the
maximum allowance available to the
farm. In most cases, this information
has been made available to the far-
mer on his 1941 farm plan sheet.
Parity payments in Texas are
made to producers of wheat, and
rice to give them more nearly a fair
share of the national income and to
bring farm income and purchasing
power nearer the 1910-14 level, the
secretary explained. At that time,
before the first World War. prices
of agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts were in compartive balance.
Both conservation and partiy pay-
ments help farmers to adjust pro-
duction to meet all market needs
and to farm in such a way as to
maintain and build up the fertility
of the soil, Mr. Farmer explained.
The wheat marketing quota, on
which farmers wil vote May 31, of-
fers a double protection—protec-
tion of supplies for the consumer
and protection of the market for
wheat growers themselves, says W.
W. Farmer, Secretary of the County
A. A. A. Committee.
The marketing quota insures
plenty of wheat for every probable
demand by consumers in this coun-
try and abroad, Mr. Farmer sgid. A
quota on wheat may be proclaimed
only when the total supply exceeds
a normal year’s domestic consump-
tion and exports by more than 35
percent. With exports practically
shut off by military blockade, Mr.
Farmer reports that there will be
almost 2 bushels of wheat on hand
for every 1 which is likely to be
consumed this year in the United
States.
In view of this supply, marketing
quotas are necessary to protect the
income of all wheat farmers, Mi.
Farmer declared. In the last two
years, the wheat program, principal-
ly the loan, has held the United
States wheat price 30 to 40 cents
above the world price. However, on
the face of the large supply in
prospect for the coming year, the
loan neteds the added protection of
the marketing quota, he said. Be-
cause loans on an uncontrolled sur-
plus would involve too much risk,
they are prohibited by law when a
wheat marketing quota is voted
down.
If the. quota is approved, farrmers
will be able to sell without penalty
all wheat they raise on their acreage
allotments. The farmer who has
seeded within his acreage allotment
can sell his wheat just as he always
has, said Mr. Farmer. He' is also
eligible for a Government loan on
all his wheat.
The farmer who ov'erplants his
allotment may store the wheat pro-
duced in excess of the quota. If he
sells or uses it a penalty will be
collected. If he stores it, he can get
a loan on the excess, but at a lower
rate than that available to the co-
operator.

Refrigerator Financing
Rural homemakers who are
thinking about buying electric re-
frigerators can profit from a firianc
ing program recently announced by
the Rural Electrification Adminis-
tration, says Mrs. Bernice Claytor,
Extension Service specialist in home
improvements.
She calls attention to the fact
that all farm families getting cur-
rent from REA-financed powrer
lines can participate in the new
plan. Loans for refrigerator pur-
chases will be made usually to the
cooperative or power district which
built and operates the power system.
The systems will use these funds to
finance refrigerator purchases by
their individual members.
Individual buyers will pay simple
interest, and repayment may 1®
made over a period of five years.
The plan follows the procedure al-
ready established by REA system*
for wiring, plumbing and brooder
financing.
