Farm Crop Incomes
Reported Greatest
In Last 3 Years
More Rigid Methods
OF Price Control
Are Considered

War Food Administrator off,
cials today were studying a Bureau
of Aricultural Economics report
showing that farmers are receiving
more for their crops in general than
at any time since 1920 amid specu-
latlon on whether the Government
may have to devise more rigid meth
ods of price control if President
Roosevelt's hold -the-line order
against imitation is maintained.
Farm prices on April IS we're 1876
per cent of parity (the 1909-14 av-
erage) and represented a rise OF
three points in month, according
to the bureaus report. The price
index rose IS points in the last
year.
Tentative figures indicate that
farmers received nearly $1,400 ,0OO.-
600 from commodities sold during
March compared with about 982,-
900 900 in the same month last year,
bringing the total income to about
s4,000,O 100000 for the first three
months of the year as against So
000,000,000 in the corresponding
quarter last year.
Federal farm officials, who ex-
pressed hope that agricultural prices
would level off, pointed out that most
commodities having direct effect
on the cost of food had been brought
under price ceilings. They explained
also that it was not unusual for
prices of many farm products to ad-
vance at this season of the year and
decline a few weeks later when new
crops start moving to market.
Not all farm commodities ad-
vanced between mid March and
mid-April. Increases were limited
principally to fruits, potatoes, corn,
hay, other livestock feeds, fiaxseed,
peanuts, dry beans, wool, chickens,
beef cattle and sheep. Commercial
truck crops, hogs, veal calves. lambs,
eggs and wheat declined, while Dairy
products held steady.
The demand for farm products
during the next several months, at
prices prevailing under present CELL
ings, will remain in excess of sup
plies available, the bureau said,
adding. however, that rationing
would minimize the pressure Of the
excess demand
Supplies of farm products re-
manned relatively large, the report
added, with seasonal declines in crop
stocks and downturns in livestock
slaughter being offset IL large part
by seasonal increases in the produc-
ton of dairy and poultry products.

1 18,OOO MINERS
 DIETING VILE.
TwO=Thirds of Striking An= thraCite Workers Want
 Concrete Proposal

Wilkes Barre, Pa., January IA (UP) - Five-sixtfs of 18,0OO strik- ing anthracite miners were defyine the War Labor Boards order to go back to work today. The other sixth - 5000 men - were returning to the mines officials, of the strik- ing United Mine Workers of Amer ica locals said the membership had indicated it did not intend to re- sume work until something was done about the dues situation. The strike was called principally because locals in the northern anthracite district objected to union dues being raised from $1 to $50 8 month.
 Some officials were angry because the Labor Board had made no concrete" proposals, and walked out of general meeting of district local officers last night before the results of a referendum on the boards or der were announced.
 Of 16 affected locals, II announced they would not return to work, two said they would go back, two report ed absent and one was undecided.
 One local, which voted to return, defied pickets to molest its mem berS.
 "We won't defy the Government" James Hannihan, president of the local, said.
 The strike was in its 18th day.
