United Dress Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — U?)
— Take your hat off to Mordecai
Ezekiel.
He is the mathematical wiz-
ard who worked out the magic
formula called “parity” which
the Department of Agriculture
uses to determine how. much a
farmer should get for the things
he sells to give hirh a fair share-
of the national income.
Like the Einstein theory, few
people understand it. And only
a handful of experts in the de-
partment can work it out • in
terms, of,‘'fair” farm prices.
For three days (and part of
nights) this writer tried to figure
out what a “fair" price to farm-
ers for snap beans. No soap.
The expert who does it for the
government each month said it
was easy — if you know how.
It is like this, he said:
Take eggs, for example.
First you consult the records
and find nut what the average
price farmers got for eggs be-
tween January, 1941, anti Decem-
ber, 1950. (The chart said this
was 38.4 cents a dozen.)
You then compare the average
I price received for all farm corny
modifies by farmers during the \
1941-50 period to the prices re-'i
eeived during the “base” period :
| between January, 1910, and Dec-
ember, 1914. You come up with i
the calculation that current i
prices are 218 per cent of the j
“base’’ period.
At this point you proceed to
find out. the “adjusted'' base ;
price. That is done by dividing j
the average 1941-5(1 egg price i
(38.4 cents) by 2.18. That tells |
you the “adjusted base price” j

is 17 6 onts a dozen.
Before you can go any further
you have to consult a chart of
prices paid by farmers in 1910-14
for 188 items such.as food, cloth-
ing and furniture, and another
chart showing how much the
farmer paid for 138 items used in
farm production, including live-
stock feed, see, cars, trucks and
tractors. Don’t forget to include
interest, taxes and wages.
Add them all up, strike an ave-
rage, and compare them with
current prices paid for these
commodities'.
Unless you make a mistake,
you'll find the average prices
!>:‘id.......bjr farmers, .now for ail
commodities is 272 per cent of the
1910-14 base period.
Now that you’ve found the
per centage difference in prices
paid then and now, multiply this
(272 perecent) by the “adjusted”
base price of 17.6 cents.
That, multiplied out, gives you
47.9 cents — The current parity
price on a dozen of eggs. Thats
how parity is computed under a
"new" formula now ,applied to
non-basic commodities, such as
eggs.
Rut the expert said that doesn’t
add up to a fair price for the
farmer. Too low.
You have to go back and find
out what “parity" would have
been under the “old" formula
which was based on compara-
tive prices for different base
periods.
You. do it the same way you
did to find parity under the new
formula — using different fig-
ures, of course and another pen-
cil.
This time you come up with
a figure which indicates farmers
ought*to-be getting 57.2 cents a
dozen for their (eggs.
But the expert said that was
too much.
So, you arbitrarily knock off

And presto! you have it —
a fair price of 51.5 cents a dozen!
