HARTINGTON — No farm program will work successfully unless the support price is a minimum of 90% parity, Carl Wilken, economic analyst of Washington, D.C., told a group of farmers and businessmen here last Thursday night.
Speaking before a crowd of about 70 people in the Holy Trinity parish center auditorium, Wilken declared “the time has come when you must wake up and realize that if you want your share of American prosperity, you must elect someone who is willing to demand that you receive 100% of parity, which in terms of dollars means you will receive $1 with which to buy $1 worth of goods produced by others.”
