Such price series reflect the effects of wars, tariffs, changes in foreign and domestic production and supply, and other factors which affect the economic well-being of agriculture. They are an essential part of the factual record needed to provide an understanding of agricultural problems. They affect hundreds of decisions,‘ranging from those of ranch- men deciding whether to feed their steers longer before market- ing to the problems before Congressional committees considering long range agricultural programs. This bulletin supplies the basic price data for the major agri- cultural commodities produced in Texas. The data include monthly prices for these commodities from August 1909 through April 1948 together with annual average prices. To facilitate comparisons among commodities, monthly prices are reduced to a common denominator by use of price relatives. Study of price trends for similar commodities is expedited by the formation of commodity groups and the derivation of index numbers sum- marizing price changes for the group. These commodity groups are combined further into comprehensive crop, livestock and all farm product indexes which indicate the over-all trend for prices as a whole. No attempt is’ made to analyze or explain price changes. Prices of each commodity Were affected by so many diverse factors dur- ing the period 1910-47 that separate commodity studies are required. This bulletin supplies part of the material required for making these intensive commodity studies. 0 J 54-74 8-6M-L1 80 CONTENTS Page Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 5!

SCHLOTZHAUER, Agricultural Statistician, Bureau of l Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department 0f Agriculture V. C. CHILDS, Agricultural Statistician, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, 1 U. S. Department of Agriculture, in Charge of the Austin, Texas, Office Profits of Texas agriculture depend, in the main, 0n three factors: prices, cos-ts of production and yields. Farm prices, in the past, have been very unstable. Total cash incomes to Texas farmers, as a result of wide changes both in prices and yields, have varied from 318 'million dollars in I932 to 1,975 million dollars in'1947 (Table I). Unit cash costs to farmers have also fluctuated widely from year to year. This has been caused by changes in prices of cost items on the one hand, and in yields on the other. The instability of the factors affecting the farmer’s net income account for the erratic swing in the total net income of Texas farmers. As a consequence, periods of farm prosperity have been succeeded by periods of depressionvvith no period which may be characterized as normal or stable. This publicatioasupplies price data for the major farm com- modities produced in Texas. The prices are those which farmers received for their products. They represent an estimate of the average price of all grades and classes of these commodities in local markets on or about the 15th of each month. Since, for most products, sales seldom occur at the farm, the prices which farmers receive usually include the cost of handling and delivery to the local market. Some truck crops, notably carrots, are exceptions where sales have varying mixtures of “in field” prices. If the commodity is sold by the farmer in boxed or packaged form, such as strawberries, the cost of the con- tainer is included in the price. The price estimates are received monthly by mailed inquiries to local dealers and others in farming communities in all parts of Texas. Prior to May I932, the Washing- ton office of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics collected the price data, but since that time these data have been collected by the Texas office of that bureau. In recent years, from 60o to 1,000 volun- tary reporters have supplied these monthly price data for Texas. The monthly price reports have been supplemented by data from special surveys, personal interviews and other sources. Prices received for the major farm commodities produced in Texas are shown in Table I. These commodities represent about 6 BULLETIN 700, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Table 1.

This table indicates I wide range in the annual prices received for each product. There i, a tendency for all farm commodity prices to rise or fall togethe but the extent of the rise or fall varies greatly. Index Numbers of Prices» Received and Paid Changes in prices of cotton, beef cattle, cottonseed, eggs an, other farm products over a period of years are most significant '8 relation to comparable changes in other prices. Comparison of price is facilitated if all prices are reduced to a common base by expressin an individual monthly price as a percentage of the price prevailin in a base period. By using a common base period, numerous fa product prices are placed on a comparable basis and may be su l marized in a composite price index number by giving proper weight to the individual prices included. TEXAS’ FARM COMMODITY PRICES Index numbers were prepared for all major commodities produced and sold by Texas farmers with the period August 19o9-_Iuly 1914 selected as the base and represented by an index of 10o. Reasons for the selection of this base period together with other details of procedure are summarized in the section on Method of Calculating i Index Numbers. Indexes or price relatives for individual commodities were sum- marized to provide monthly group indexes and the group indexes were summarized to provide a monthly all farm products price index. Monthly indexes were averaged to provide annual indexes for in- dividual commodities and for all commodities. The annual all farm products index for the period 1910-47 is shown in Table 2. The price trend has been upward since 1938, rising from an index of 91 in that year to 287 in 1947. Other outstanding periods were the relatively high price years during and immediately after World War I and the depression period of the 1930’s. Table 2.

Index numbers of prices received by farmers for all farm prod- ucts, Texas and United States, 1910-47. (August 1909-July 1914=100) Comparable price indexes 0f prices paid by farmers are not available for Texas but are available for the United States. Com- modities included in this index are those used in living, such as food. clothing, supplies, furniture and building materials; and those used in production, such as feed, machinery, fertilizer, equipment and seed. Prices of these items have been secured by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics from local stores and dealers in agricull tural areas of all states. Price data are not available for computing a similar index of prices paid by Texas farmers. State prices for many of the major items farmers buy are available for only a relatively short period of time. In addition, adequate data for weighting purposes are not. available on the relative quantities of individual items bought by farmers. In the absence of these data for Texas, the United States index provides the best available approximation of the trends and relative level of prices paid by farmers in Texas. The annual United States index of prices paid during the period 1910-47 is shown in Table 2, and is compared with the Texas index of prices received on the cover chart. The monthly indexes are in- cluded in the Appendix". The relationship between prices received by Texas farmers and prices paid by United States farmers is shown as a ratio by dividing prices received by prices paid. The period from I940 to I947 has had a high ratio of prices received to prices paid and has been a relatively prosperous period for agricul- ture. During the I930’s, ratios sank to a very low level. TEXAS FARM COMMODITY PRICES o Parity Pricesl The original definition of the parity principle in the Agricul- tural Adjustment Act of 1933 declared that it was the policy of Congress to “re-establish prices to farmers at a level that will give agricultural commodities a purchasing power with respect to articles that farmers buy equivalent to the purchasing power of agricultural commodities in the base period.” This formula has been amended A and re-enacted several times but ‘no essential changes have been " made in it. In calculating parity prices for agricultural commodities, base prices are determined by averaging prices received by farmers for a definite period, usually August I909 through July 1914. Excep- tions include tobacco and a considerable number of fruits and veg- etables, including potatoes, which are averages of the prices for the marketing seasons falling within the period August 1919-July 1929 or August 1934-July 1939. The next step is to adjust the base prices by the index of prices paid, interest and taxes, or just by the index of prices paid if the base period is other than 1909-14. For example, in January I948, the index of prices paid was 251. The parity price for cotton was 2.51 times the base price of 12.4 cents or 31.12 cents a pound. The parity price for wheat was 2.51 times 88.4 cents or $2.22 per bushel. The parity price of potatoes, however, which is calculated from the base August 1919-July 1929, was 1.66 times $1.12 a bushel or $1.86 per bushel since the index of prices paid was 166 as of January 15, 1948. - The parity index is calculated as of the 15th of each month and is _ published monthly in “Agricultural Prices,” by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Parity prices change as the index of prices paid, interest and taxes change, or just as the index of prices paid changes if the base period is other than 1909-14. Parity prices for some of the minor commodities, such as strawberries, are based on only a portion of the period August 1919-July 1929 since satisfactory price data for the entire period are not available. Parity prices are calculated in the same terms as prices received by farmers in the local markets in which they ordinarily sell. These prices apply in general to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as sold by all farmers in the United States. Where lAgricultural Prices. January 1948. pp. 23-31. ‘l . . .

Parity has assumed increased importance because of its central place in the National Farm Program. Producers of certain farm 3 commodities are assured a minimum price under existing legislation by means of loans, purchases and other operations. In the case of the six basic commodities (corn, wheat, cotton, rice, tobacco and peanuts for nuts), mandatory loans at the rate of 90 percent (92% percent for cotton) are made up to and including the harvest of the entire I948 crop. The Steagall Amendment (Section 4 (a) of the Act of July I, I941, as amended) supports prices of an additional 14 commodities including Irish and sweetpotatoes, eggs, hogs, chickens over 3% pounds live weight, turkeys, milk, butterfat, soybeans for oil, peanuts for oil, flaxseed for oil, dry peas of specified varieties. dry edible beans of specified varieties and American-Egyptian cotton, at a minimum of 90 percent pf the parityuprice of each in return for an increase in production during the war. This program was to continue for 2 years after the official ending of the war to permit producers to adjust in an orderly manner to a peacetime production basis. Additional price supports have been provided for wool, cotton linters, naval stores, seeds, sugar beets, sugar cane a.nd other minor products under Section 4 (b) of the Act of July I, I941 which declares that producers’ prices and incomes of other agricul- tural commodities are to be brought to a fair parity relationship with the basic and Steagall commodities to the extent that funds were available. Price Relatives A price relative is a commodity price stated as a percentage of a base period price. For example, the Texas base period price August I909-July I914) for cotton is 12.1 cents and the price for January 1948 is 31.7 cents. The price relative for cotton is 31.7 —Z— 12.1 cents X IOO, or 262. Price relatives facilitate comparisons of prices re- ceived for one commodity with prices received for other commodities in relation to a common base period. Annual price relatives are de- rived from calendar year average prices. The monthly price relatives for all commodities are included in the Appendix. The annual price relatives for these same commodities for the period 1910-47 are shown in Tables 3, 4 and 5. 12 BULLETIN 700, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Table 3.

Method of Calculating Index Numbers Comprehensive index numbers of farm prices have been computed nationally since I921. Numerous revisions have been made in the items included in the index and in the weights applied to each item but the period August 1909 to July I914 has» been retained as the base period, The original assumption was that these prewar years constituted a period of stable and relatively normal prices. Continua- tion of the use of this base is largely attributable to its inclusion in various laws enacted since I930 relating to parity prices for ag- ricultural commodities. The Texas price index was prepared using the United States base period for prices, August 1909 to July 1914, and the United States base period for marketing weights, 1935-39. The marketing weights are averages for the 5-year period of production of each of the items included in the index. 14 Table 6. Base period prices, quantity weights and base values used in the.

Cabbage, carrots, onions, spinach, and others are included in the index, but crops of relatively minor importance such as radishes, cantaloupes and green corn are not included. The price index for each group was computed for each month in the period August 1909-December 1947 by the following method: (I) The base price for each commodity ( 5-year average, August 1909 to July 1914) was multiplied by the base quantity marketed ( 5-year average, 193 5-39) to obtain a base commodity value in dollars.

'1Simple annual average. 20 BULLETIN 700, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION derived from calendar year average prices. These annual index’, are summarized in Table 7. The seven-crop group indexes were combined to derive an a crop index, the four livestock group indexes were combined to deri an all-livestock index, and these two major group indexes were cod bined to derive an all-farm products index by the followingmeth (1) Group cash incomes were determined by combining the, average base marketing period (5 years, 1935-39) cash incomes for each commodity in the group. l‘ (2) Group cash incomes were combined to determine alli crop and all livestock cash incomes and these figures were com-ii bined to determine the all commodity cash income. (3) Percentage weights for each crop group were determined; by dividing each group’s cash income by the all crop cash ini come; individual livestock group weights were derived as per-ll centages of the all livestock cash income; and all crop and alli livestock percentage weights were derived by dividing their tee spective cash incomes by the all farm products cash income. (4) Monthly crop group index numbers were multiplied by the group percentage weights, and the products were added and the sum divided by 10o to derive the all crop index. a (5) Monthly livestock group index numbers were multiplied? by the group percentage weights, the products were added andf the sum divided by 10o to derive the all livestock index. i (6) The all crop and all livestock indexes as derived, were‘ multiplied by their respective percentage weights to derive the all farm products index. ’ ' The percentage weights for each group, all crops and all lid stock are shown in Table 8, together with the application of th, weights to the group price indexes for january 15, 1948 as sho Table '6. The all farm products index of 312 indicates that i commodity prices in Texas are approximately three times as h‘) as during the base period 1910-14. "i A Monthly all crops, all livestock and all farm products price ind’ are summarized in the Appendix. Comparable annual price ind were derived from calendar year average prices. These annual i‘ indexes for the period I910-47 are shown in Table 9. These ind show a wide range in prices received by Texas farmers during period. i TEXAS FARM COMMODITY PRICES 21 Method of Adding Commodities to the Index Several items included in individual group price indexes have been added since the earlier United States farm indexes were pub- lished. They were not included originally because they were not im- portant in the base period or because suitable price data were lacking. As commodities increased in importance or as"prices became avail- able, they have been added to the proper group or new groups have been formulated. For example, turkeys were added to the poultry ' group in january I937, and the truck crop group was established in January 1924. - Items were added to the index by assuming that commodities with no available base period prices changed relatively the same as sim- ilar commodities for which base period prices are available. In adding turkeys to the poultry group index it was assumed that since prices of other poultry products are I27 percent of the base average, turkey prices are also 127 percent of the base average. Therefore, to derive a base period price for turkeys, the current price was divided by 1.27. By this procedure, the level of the index is not affected by the introduction of the new commodity in the month in which the commodity is added, but thereafter the new commodity contributes its share to the composite changes in the index. For computing the group index, a weight for the new commodity must be computed by multiplying the derived base price by the average quantity sold during the base marketing period 1935-39. This changes the group aggregate cash value used in computing the group indexes but does not change the group percentage weights used in computing all crop, all livestock and all farm product indexes since the income from the added commodity has already been al- lowed for in the weight for the group. When a new group such as truck crops was added to the index, ‘I it was assumed that the price of each of these crops made relatively ' the same change since the base period as did the all-crop index. Therefore, to derive a base price for each of the items in the group, the current price was divided by the current all crops index and multiplied by I00. " Addition of the truck crop group necessitated changes in per- centage weights for computing the all crops index. All other crop groups were reduced proportionately so that the group percentages including truck crops would total I00 percent. The all crops and all livestock weights used in computing the all farm products index remained unchanged since the income from items not included in 22 BULLETIN 700, TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION any individual group were included in the cash income totals u in figuring all crops or all livestock Weights. i‘ Seasonal Variation Prices of farm products normally vary from month to month‘ accordance with the volume of marketings and other factors. It.» sometimes desirable to test prices for this seasonal variation determine whether the month-to-month changes are greatly difi, ent from normal seasonal trends. For Texas, moving seasonal indexes of price variation were i structed for eggs, wholesale milk and butterfat, Tables IO, II ._ 12. These commodities are characterized by extreme seasonal var tions following a more uniform pattern from year to year than other farm commodities. i The method followed in computing the moving seasonal ind. of price variations was as follows: '2 (I) A 24-month moving average of monthly prices was computed. h’ _ ' (2) Each monthly price was divided by the computed aver-i age price of which this month was the mid-point, and expressed? as a percentage. _ ' i’ (3) The monthly percentages were plotted by years. V (4) A freehand trend line was fitted to the plotted percentgi ages. (5) The trend line was adjusted until the values for the I a months in any year totaled 1,200 while retaining smooth, well fitting trends. ‘ Individual monthly commodity prices are adjusted for seaso variation by dividing the price by the monthly index of seas’ variation. This has the effect of raising the prices which are sea ally lower than average and lowering the prices which are season’ higher than average. Thus, to the extent that the seasonal measures the normal seasonal movement, the adjustment remo" the seasonal movement from the data and permits direct compari of the given month with other months in the same year or if other years. Acknowledgment The basic work of assembling price data, grouping and weight of ‘commodities, and establishing the initial framework for the sefii of prices and index numbers was performed by Elbert O. Schl TEXAS FARM COMMODITY PRICES 23 hauer. Grateful acknowledgment is also due Marie A. Smith of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics for capable performance of es- sential clerical functions involved in preparation and revision of individual prices and index tables.
