Washington.—Secretary of Ag-
riculture Ezra Taft Benson set
the price support Friday for this
year’s corn crop at a national av- j
erage of not less than $1 06 a
bushel. This is 6 cents below last i

This rate for corn, the nation’s
largest single crop, is the mini-
mum permitted by law.

crops, and dry beans will be con-
tinued at the same dollar-and- i
cents-rates in effect last year. . |
But the price supports for peo-J
nuts were increased from an av^ >
erage of SI93.59 a ton for last
year’s crop.
Benson had previously an-
nounced reductions in 1960 sup-
ports for wheat, cotton and rice.
But he continued dairy supports
at last season’s rates.
The feed grain crop rates in-
clude:
Barley 77 cents a bushel; sor-
chum grain SI.52 per hundred-
weight; oats 50 cents a bushel
and rye 90 cents a bushel.
The oilseed crop supports in-
cluded: Soybeans $1.65 a bushel:
flaxseed $2 38 a bushel, and cot-
tonseed $38 a ton on farm stored
cottonseed and $34 a ton on cot-
tonseed sold the government.
The support price for dry beans
was continued at last years’ rate
of $5.35 per hundred-weight.
Parity is a standard for meas-
uring farm prices declared by
law to be fair to farmers in re-
lation to prices charged the:
