Farm Prices Rise
Slightly as Costs
Set New Record
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
said yesterday farm prices
edged upward during the month
ending November Is, but prices
paid by farmers rose to a new
high during the same period.
Farm prices rose eight-tenths
of per cent to put the index of
prices received by farmers at
242 per cent of the 1904 base.
While this was an increase of
2 points from 240 in mid-Octo-
Der. it was still we'll below the
high of 313 recorded in Feb
ruary, 1851.
However. a rather general rise
in retail prices for goods bought
by the farmer, along with an
increase in his interest charges
and taxes and in farm wage
rates. brought the index of
prices paid to 298 per cent of
the 1904 base. This is a
record high. 1t is a 2-point in
crease from the previous high
of 296 in'mid- October and COM
pares with 289 a year ago.
The parity ratio-the ratio
between prices received and
prices paid-remained at the 81
per cent registered last month
and in November, 1856.
The 81 per cent compares
with the high ratio of 1913 in
October. 1916. when the prices
farmers received were higher
comparatively than the prices
they paid out.

Murxist Strikes
Hit CeyIon Aquin

COLOMBO, Ceylon, Nov. 30
R.-Another of the sporadic
Marxist-led strikes which have
been plaguing the government
hit today, this time tying up
municipal services of this CAPT.
tai city.
Nearly 5000 workers of the
Colombo Municipal Council
went on strike at midnight last
night. They agreed at the last
minute not to cut off the city
water supply, but transporta-
ton facilities were halted and
meat inspection stopped.
The strike was spanked by
demands for higher wages.
Similar strikes have been hit
ting Ceylon's railways, docks
and other facilities in hop
scotch fashion that leaves the
government wondering where
next to expect trouble.
In an effort to halt wide
spread labor unrest, Prime Min
lister S. w. r. D. Bandaranaike
announced last night a special
wage rise of SLIP monthly for
those making less than SOS a
month. Twenty-three unions
which have said they will
strike if wages are not ad-
justed are to decide tomorrow
whether to settle for the rise.
Observers say the strikes are
designed to increase Marxist
influence in the government or
possibly to topple it.

.YuIe TreeCrop
Is king-Sized

SHELTON. Wash, Nov. 80
(NANA) .-Signs surrounding
this Southwest Washington
town proclaim it the Christ
mas tree capital Of the world"
And a visit to the community
confirms its right to the title.
An almost steady stream of
boxcars, filled with bushy ever
greens, fans out from Shelton
for cities throughout the
United States and Canada dur
ing this season each year. Trees
grown in the Shelton area end
UP in homes all over North
America. to be hung with tin
sci. balls and lights.
Spokesman for the Christ
mas tree industry say this
years tree crop is a good one.
There have been no damaging
freezes thus far-just enough
frost to give a perfect "set" to
the needles.
Each shipper expects to fill
his quota, and the qoutas are
king sized. The G. r. Kirk Co.
of Tacoma, which centers its
operation in Shelton, sent more
than 8 million trees to market
last year and foresees an even
bigger year in 1857.
The tree firms differ on the
price outlook. Some say there
will be no increase in retail
prices. others talk of an increase
of anywhere from 10 to IS per
cent.
A substantial increase is in
the wind for next year. how
ever. The State of Washington,
which auctions off trees from
State-owned timberlands to
commercial shippers for as low
as 20 cents per tree, is making
plans to up its asking price:
and the State has a corner"
on the supply.

tries have shut down. Men and
women laid off are busy work.
ing as tree cutters, taggers. tier
stackers. yard bankers. drag
gers. leaders and truck drivers.
Christmas tree plants use as
sembly line methods, employees
grading the trees and sorting
them by size as they move past.
Business is booming, but the
industry has its collective fin
gers crossed; the shippers were
hitting their peak in 1855 when
destructive freeze hit, running
already bundled trees and halt
ing the rise of life-giving sap in
still growing trees, causing
them to shed their needles.

Previously the base had no
fresh milk. Cows can not be

of fluid milk by rail was not

with Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder,
his personal physician, and
two Secret Service Agents and
drove over his farm until 4:40
pm. stopping every once in
awhile to walk around for a
closer look at his cattle.
Mr.. Hagerty estimated the
President walked about one
fourth to one-third of the time
that he was looking over the
farm. AS was his attendance
at Thanksgiving Day church
services. this open-air activity
indicated much faster rate of
recovery than his doctors had
anticipated Tuesday when they
estimated he would need "sev-
eral weeks" of rest and Sub
stantially decreased activity"
No Speech Trouble
AS on Thursday. Mr.. Hagerty
told newsmen he noticed no
speech difficulty in talking with
the President at the farm yes
terday.
Some difficulty IN saying long
words had been Mr.. EiSen-
hower's only worrisome symp-
tom. after having gone to bed
with chill Monday. of what
his doctors said was an occlu-
sion of a small branch artery
in his brain.
Mr.. Hagerty emphasized that
his layman's observation of
nothing wrong with the PreSi-
dents speech was not to be
taken as any announcement
that medically speaking" the
condition had completely
cleared up. He left final
clearance by the doctors" to
some time in the future.
The press secretary said the
President did not seem to be
fatigued but seemed fine
after his activities yesterday.
Asked whether DR.. Snyder
thought the riding-walking in
spection of his farm was good
for the President. Mr.. Hagerty
reported "he didn't say any,
