PR|CESFOR FARM
PRODUCTS HIGHER
Sudden Change in Weather
Results in Gains for
Many Lines.

Most Of the leading farm products
felt the influence of cold, stormy
weather during the first half of March,
and price gains were numerous the sec
ond week of the month, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Mar
ket News Service. The rising trend in
cluded grain, butter, eggs, most kinds OF
live stock and many of the vegetables.
Vigorous market action OF onions and
cabbage suggested real shortage, and
potatoes reflected some effect of recent
lighter shipments from nearly all pro-
ducing sections. Damage to southern
crops will mean reduction and delay in
some lines of produce, especially the
tender vegetables and strawberries.
Apples have held most of the small
gains made since the f1rst of March.
The poultry market continues rather
weak, although broilers advanced.
Prices of butter registered a rather
sharp advance on all markets during
the second week of March. Weather
conditions were largely responsible for
the lighter arrivals. 1t Is possible that
arrivals of butter will show a sharp in
crease as soon as cream deliveries and
rail traffic return to normal. Produc-
tion has been somewhat disturbed by
weather conditions.
City prices of cabbage were much
higher the second week Of March, but
lettuce values were mostly lower Gel
cry advanced in the SANFORD district of
Florida. Best spinach advanced sharp
ly at southern Texas shipping points.
Western New York carrot prices
reached a new high level.
Sweet potatoes showed practically no
change in price. Best Baldwin apples
we're selling somewhat higher in West
ern New York at 95 cents to $l.05 per
hushel. Yellow onions reached S3.10 to
1925 per 50-pound sack at western New
York and Michigan shipping points.
Texas onions probably will be delayed
by the recent cold wave.

LEND revisions and omissions, along with

For Increased Production.
Missouri Pacific Weakness.

Contrary to the general trend in the
bond markets, including that for second
grade railroad issues, Missouri Pacific
obligations developed considerable weak
ness, due apparently to fear over the
roads ability to meet maturing debts
next month.
There is little doubt that the Rail-
road Finance and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporations will come to the
aid of the system If assistance is re-
quired. Should the carrier be permitted
to default on any of its issues, it is
within reason to assume that confidence
in the above instrllmentalities will di-
minish very considerably and under
mine confidence in the Governments
effort to aid the transportation systems
of the country.
One may therefore conclude that the
situation will be taken care of promptly
and that no difficulties will develop in
connection with Mop's due debts.

Keller IN sales Tax.
A relief from excessive taxation of
any one commodity or class is expected
to result from the manufacturers sales
tax, according to r. G. Holmes, presi-
dent of the Texas Co.
The recommendation for such a tax,
Mr.. Holmes continues, has in it the pos
sibilities of a more equitable distribu-
ton He illustrates his view by refer
ring to the oil industry, which last
year paid taxes equivalent to IS cents
a barrel on the entire crude oil pro-
duction in the United States for the
year, whereas the average price of
crude, oil at the well was 81 cents a
barrel throughout the United States.
For Increased Production.
Sir Auckland Geddes, head of one OF
the largest African copper producers, is
not impressed with artificial measures
of relief Regardless of curtailment by
copper interests, he says the only solu-
ton to the present oVerproduction In
the industry is increased production.
Sir Auckland is optimistic in regard
to the future OF the industry. because
he is convinced that the basic picture
within the industry is more funda-
mentally sound than is generally real
lied. Despite further difficulties which
are likely to be encountered, he is con-
fident that the cooperation among pro-
ducers should prove an important fac
tor in eventually finding a solution to
aid in its recovery

BELGIAN LANGUAGE

Dispute Caused Resignation

BY Gable to The Star

BRUSSELS, May 30.-As it has done
for generations. almost from the crea-
tion of the Belgian Kingdom some hun
dred years ago. the language question
continues to dominate Belgium's politi-
cal life 1t has Just led to the resigna-
tion of the Renkin cabinet, after year
in Office, and may place obstacles in the
way of the reconstructed Renkin cab
met which has succeeded it at the ex-
press request of the King.
In Belgium today economic and in
ternational problems are paramount
or should be-but the language uues-
ton constantly arises to complicate the
situation.
Broadly stated, the West of Belgium
speaks Flemish and the East speaks
French, with the Brussels district. ap-
proximately in the center, speaking
both. But there are those in Flemish
Belgium who wish to speak French and
those in French Belgium who wish to
speak Flemish, for sentimental or ma
teriai reasons. This creates what may
be styled minorities, and the question
Of minoritieS is one of the most difficult
in Europe, as the League of Nations
well knows.
Constitutionally, the two languages
are olACldl III Tie same degree, but
practically one Of them dominates, &C
cording to district. and the minority al
ways feels it has grievance. More
over, when the language question be-
comes plank in a political platform,
the situation becomes embittered, so
much so that the most violent Fla
mingants" were pro-German during the
war.
Premier Renkin took Office with a
cabinet formed by a coalition of the
Right and Liberal Left. In order to
obtain the support of the latter. he
agreed to certain concessions regarding
