^^ to expect corn prices to reach parity before another crop is harvested. 

 A livestock-feed ratio favorable enough to induce farmers to keep hogs 

 to be fed out at heavier v/eights and to greatly increase production of 

 all iiinds of animal products might then call for price ceilings on 

 animal products at a somewhat higher percentage of parity than for feed 

 grains. This sort of armigeraent probably would be possible under the 

 price-fixing law now awaiting the President's signature. In fact the 

 present lav; x^rould seem to permit top orices for livestock and animal 

 products which would be high relative to top prices permitted for feed 

 grains; that is, December I5, 19^1* prices for livestock and livestock 

 products would still be relatively higher than feed grain pricos at 

 110 per cent of parity or on October 1, 19^1, or on December 15, 19^1.
