Farmers say they are entitled to this, citing the emergency price control law of last summer which forbids price tam pering with farm products below parity. According to the American In stitute of Food Distribution, grow ers feel this law indicates that food prices are expected to rise to this parity figure. The institute says, “canners and other proces sors are occasionally conceding this advance, or more, because the in creased acreage they want is hard to get.” Farmers are loathe to plant big ger crops unless assured the can ners will pay full parity prices.

Last night interest centered in a public hearing of Rep. Callan Gra ham’s compromise rural road fi nance bill. A bill requiring Couples seeking marriage licenses to have birth certificates showing they are old enough was passed by the House. It also provides couples could sub stitute a certificate from the coun ty judge saying they were old enough “to the best of his know ledge.” The bill is designed to slow down teenage marriages. The House approved a bill re quiring one life preserver for each person aboard rented boats on rivers and lakes. Both the marriage license and boat bills now go to the Senate. The Senate passed a bill requir ing filing with the state of copies of all contracts entered into by political subdivisions, and the fed eral government. It goes to the House. College Fees Raised Also passed by the House and sent to the Senate was a bill in creasing the fees of resident stu dents in state-supported college from $25 to $35. The state legislative budget board was named as the filing agency in the federal contract bill. Senator Ottis Lock of Lufkin, author of the measure, said if the government will soon be spending more money than the legislature in “When that happens, the state capitol, county court house and city hall will become little more than bookkeeping agencies for the fed eral government,” he said.
