Streets of Paris cafe. According to
reports, she did not give a moments
notice.
The matter was reported to the

Farm Real Estate Values
Jump, u. 5. Agency Says
Sy the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Farm real estate values rose
sharply in the IL months ending
March l. the Agriculture Depart
ment reported today.
The index based on acre values
in the l912-19l4 period. stood at 80
on March l on Nation wide basis.
compared with 81 a year earlier, IS
in 194l and 73 in 1888.
The increase in values in the year
was the highest in any year since
1920. Most Of it came during the
last four months. Land value in
creases during the year were wide
spread, with some advances reported
in each State.
For the second year in a row.
sharp climbs occurred in the East.
South Central and Mountain States.
The department attributed the
higher land values to a rise in COM
modify prices, record levels of farm
income and accumulations of liquid
funds by farmers and others.
Temperlng these value stimulating
influences, however, were farm labor
shortages or expected shortages,
higher wages and other costs. diff
culties in obtaining adequate sup
plies, farm commodity price con-
trols, heavier taxes, the confused
postwar outlook, and the recollec-
ton OF the crash in values following
the last war.
